Spring is here and so are a few steelhead….more to come for sure!
We are off to a pretty non typical spring here in west Michigan. It has been fairly seasonable as far as temps go, but it has been extremely dry. The rivers are very low and very clear for this time of year. This is making the fish just trickle in, and when the get here they are very spooky. The mornings are fishing the best for sure, afternoon fishing has been slow for 2 reasons, the fish are getting a lot of pressure and it has been sunny almost every day. This weeks coming rains should get things going.
We are floatfishing for the most part, floating beads and small nymphs. sometimes throwing the odd ball baits can pay off big time with pressured fish that have seen every bead and fly….thinking outside the box can payoff.
I do have a few open dates in late April, give us a call if you would like to get on the water.
Now is a great time to book your summer fishing trips on either the river or the big lake.
Sorry for the lapse in reports, I couldn’t believe it has been so long in between the reports when I logged into update it…
Well its January now, we flew through the fall season and were busy, working hard every day for our clients.
Winter mode is going 100 percent, fish numbers are on the low side for this time of year mostly due to the lack of water this fall and lack of snow/precipitation this first half of winter. We are still getting into a handful of fish on most trips, but we are working hard and covering a ton of water. Float fishing seems to be the best method in the low clear water, with either beads, bags or small jigs tipped with wax worms. Look for the fish to be in the slower slack water.
If your looking to get on the water this winter or spring please give us a call or shoot us a text.
Salmon season is going great guns!!!
Although numbers of fish have been on the light side on most rivers, there are good numbers around, just not great numbers. The plus, is that the size is up again this year.
Fall steelhead season is right around the corner….less than a couple weeks for us, and we will be after the silver bullets.
I do have a very limited number of openings in October and November, December is still fairly open, give us a call soon.
