Sorry for the lapse in updates!
Its been a busy several weeks since the last update, the fishing has improved slightly most days. We finally got the much needed rain and have seen several small pushes of fall steelhead. The fish have been moving very fast from the lower river up to and above Newaygo. The fish seem to be spread out well, but not heavy in any one section. The name of the game has been to cover tons of water, move quickly and do your best to hook up the bites you do get. This weeks rain should help bring in few more.
Please remember to limit your kill, the fish we get this time of year will be here thru the winter to play with, the next time you fish, the one you catch may be the fish another angler released.
We have been float fishing most days with small spawn bags and beads.
December is right around the corner and we have plenty of openings if you are interested in hitting the water.
Finally….its raining out!!!!
Not much new to report on the fishing, we have been fishing hard and getting rewarded with a few daily, about 1/2 are skippers. This is pretty typical for this time of year. I am sure this rain we are getting will finally turn the tide. Fishing should show much improvement in the coming days. The Kings are finishing up their duties, trout are looking very healthy and the steelhead numbers are improving daily.
We have been running our trips from the very low end of the river up to and above Newaygo. We have been float fishing with Raven centerpin gear on most trips, both 8 and 10mm beads in natural colors have produced, small spawn bags are working as well.
Best of luck on the water!
Aaaaahhhhhhhhh Fall has arrived, cooler days finally and chrome fish!
We are transitioning into my favorite season, fall steelhead…silver lighting ! These are the best of the best…..Michigan’s premier sport fish. Yes Kings are big and fun to catch pull hard and so on….but fall steelhead will leave you saying what the hell was that, as they kick your butt up and down the river. Hard fighting, huge leaps, line peeling runs…and other un expected twists and turns. These early fish can be easy to target, but covering water and using the right presentation is the key. We prefer to float fish with long rods, casting reel or center pin reels, with floats and beads or small spawn sacks. Flyfishing is also an option with indicator rigs on switch rods and chuck and duck bottom bouncing type set ups.
We still have a few dates open if you are interested in hitting the water this fall. Please give us a call or text us for more info on openings.
