Happy Trout opener!!

The Muskegon has fished well this past week, although water clarity has played a role. Water temps have offset the effects of the high dirty water. Steelhead are available in good numbers in the runs and popular spawning areas..Look for the fishing to be great for another few weeks as the long cold winter pushed the peak back a few weeks.

I still have openings May 5-8 and depending on the fish numbers May 12-?

 

Pictured (April 26) is a great friend and client Greg with one of the most impressive steelhead I have seen in a long time!!! Although the fish only weighed 16 pounds it had the body of a fish much larger. (Had this fish been caught fresh from the lake it would have pushed over 20 lbs, I have seen untold thousands of fish in my 22 yr guiding career but not many were this impressive.

 

Nice job Greg!!!!! Great “Kicker” fish to top off 3 awesome days of fishing.
