Summer drought??

 

Maybe you’ve noticed….but its been hot around here for some time now. The Muskegon is at historically low water levels and the water is warm…Its pretty much a drift boat only river at the moment…and will be until we get some much needed rains….like inches of rain…a passing shower wont change much, the soil is so dry it will soak up the majority of what rain does fall.

The smallmouth fishing is still good to great, with both spin gear as well as flies. Concentrate your efforts on the deeper channels and near structure and bigger rocks. Crayfish patterns as well as minnow baits are the ticket. Leave the jet sleds at home and bring the driftboats.

Both full and half day trips are available.

Although its only July now is the time to start thinking about fall King Salmon as well as fall Steelhead…..dates are booking up and now is the time to get on the books for this fall.
