    Merry Christmas!!

    Id like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and to thank you all for the many, many great years of letting me do what I love. Without your support my business would have withered away years ago. This spring I will begin my 25th year as a river guide / captain.

    Thank you,

    The fishing continues to be good to great!! We have great numbers of fish in the system and the river should fish well all winter long. Now is the time to get your spring dates on the calendar as well.

    Winter steelhead?..

    It is December on the calendar but the weather and the fishing have been more like mid November. For the most part we are still float fishing with beads and Raven float gear. Centerpin style of fishing is getting more popular, if you are interested in learning how to use your new centerpin gear give us a call,we also have Raven centerpin gear for you to use if you would like to try it.

    Holding water and preferred colors of baits have been changing daily, it pays to try different offerings until you unlock the hot baits. Water temps are still in the low 40’s which are great for this time of year.

    Gift certificates are available, if you are looking for that last minute gift idea.

    Now is the time to take advantage of the winter 1/2 day specials on the Muskegon river for only $200.

    Just a quick update…..

    As you might expect the heavy rainfalls over the Thanksgiving holiday shuffled the deck and brought in a pretty good push of new fish. Numbers seem to be very good for early December an the fishing should be steady from here on out. I am expecting December to fish better than November for sure. I really look forward to this time of year, less crowds equal more fish for the angler. Look for cloudy days to still fish better than bright days, due to the clearing water. As of late it has been advantageous to try different colors and sizes to see what the fish prefer.

    Float fishing with Raven gear and beads and small sacks has been the popular method. www.raventackle.com for everything you need for steelhead season.

    Looking for that special gift?  We offer gift certificates for the Christmas season.

     

    Plenty of openings from here on out, give us a call to hit the river. The weather looks more like October for the next week or more…..Get on the water before winter arrives.
