Fishing Reports

    River time…….almost!

    The pm saw a decent push of fish last week, but they have spread out, and now a slow trickle at best is moving up the river. Look for the next push to happen with the next big wind event, especially if its from the north or east. Near shore water temps are very warm, keeping the fish deep.

    I will begin guiding the PM for river Kings next week, I still have a few dates open for anyone looking for a river trip. Our preferred method will be casting hardware and drifting skein under floats for these fall run fish. The smashing strike from a fresh king on a crank bait is awesome.

    I still have some open dates in both October and November as well for fall steelhead, though they are going fast.

    Fall is closing in…..and open dates are going fast for river Kings and fall run Steelhead.

    We are starting to see large mature kings staging off of Ludington the past couple weeks. There looks to be a decent number of fish out there and I am expecting a good run this year, much better than last year. Look for a good push of fish as soon as we get either a hard north or east blow, flipping the lake water and urging the salmon to run.

    I still have some dates open for Kings on the PM and Kings and Steelhead on the Muskegon, late September and October. If you are interested in river salmon I urge you to contact me for a hardware / float fishing trip. Yes, I still offer flyfishing trips for these fish, but would like you to try a different angle for these fall run Kings.

    Fall steehead dates are going fast….I will begin guiding for fall chrome around October 5.

    Plenty of options…find a day that works and let’s fish!

    King salmon and fall steelhead season is right around the corner!

    In less than 6 weeks I will begin fall Chinook guided trips on the PM river. I still have some open days for river trips if you are interested in hitting some Michigan Kings. Fall steelhead trips will start around  October 5.

    I have been busy on the big lake this summer and have not had time to hit the river in a while. Plus I am in the process in updating the river boat fleet. A new 16′ drift boat from stealthcraft is in the works.

    Call, text or email for open dates or with any questions you might have.
