Fishing Reports

    Winter returns….thankfully!

    Although the recent above average…warm weather sure was nice, in the long run it wouldn’t be good if it continued. Many things in nature need winter to be winter. The warming temps have brought in some fresh chrome to many of the river, however most of the fish we are seeing on the Muskegon are winter holdovers. The fishing has been pretty good most days, and spring fishing is right around the corner. Float fishing with beads, spawn and the occasional small nymph will see some action.

    I still have some open dates in march and April if you are interested please call, email or text soon.

    Groundhog may be wrong??

    Not so sure the groundhog made the right call this time…recent weather and upcoming weather looks more like early to mid march for sure. Water levels are still up keeping the fish pretty happy for the most part, with many days fishing very well. Water temps are struggling to move much, but a degree or so change can really change the fishing some days…the tough days have been after a couple of cold days, steady average temps have provided the most consistent fishing. Float fishing with beads and spawn for the most part have been the go to methods…..the trick is figuring out the size and color of the day. This has proven to make a huge difference this winter. Seems like if you can find the exact thing they want its game on in a big way.

     

    Spring weather is in the forecast….might want to take advantage of this early warm up and book a trip sooner than later. March and April dates are going fast….call, text or email us to lock in a trip or two.

    Almost February……

    Just wanted to drop a quick update this afternoon, after a few days of slower than expected fishing with the high cold water, things are returning to normal on the Muskegon. Water levels are still high, temps fighting to hit 34 degrees, but the fish are settled in and the fishing has been decent the last few days. Covering a ton of water and getting the hungry ones is the key, the fish are well spread throughout the river system. Mostly darker fish, but a few new ones are around as well. Look for slower water and current seams. Now is the time of year where it can pay off throwing something a little different, as most of the fish are getting pretty educated to the typical fare.

    Give us a call to get in on the fishing now or for the spring run.
