Just a quick update to let everyone know I am done on the big water for the season, I am now in full river guide mode. Many of you know that I run both river and lake trips year round. If you are looking for a great fishing trip this fall, winter or spring of 2017 please give us a call. We are guiding for King salmon and Steelhead until we return to the big water in May of 2017.
Give us a call to get a fun day on the west Michigan rivers booked for Salmon and steelhead 231-250-9745
I want to thank everyone that has fished with us in the past and even those that have inquired about a fishing trip with us, without your support we would not be able to do what we love to do.
Seems like forever since I last reported on the fishing….truth is it has not been as long as it seems, I had a problem with my web site and lost a bunch of reports, including the most recent additions. The good news is that it has been taken care of and we are back to normal.
As for the fishing, we have been fishing most days and the catches have been respectable with 7-10 nice kings and a Coho or two mixed in. Water temps are up so we are not seeing many steelhead or lake trout. The morning fishing has been much better than the afternoon or evening fishing on my boat.
The tackle has been pretty typical for this time of year, flasher and meat rigs are the best most days, with flies catching a few as well. Plugs and glow spoons are working early in the dark. Play around with your flasher-meat rig combos until you start hitting fish.
We still have some morning openings here and there and would like to get you on the lake and into some fish. Give us a call or text @ 231-250-9745 or send us an email.
Return of the King!!!
Although we are not seeing huge numbers….or even big numbers of Kings around, we are catching some really really nice fish! This week we have boated kings that weighed in at 22-24.5 lbs. Some boats report Kings to almost 30lbs. Hopefully the numbers of Salmon increase in the coming days and weeks. Some big Lake Trout as well as the occasional Coho and steelhead are being taken as well.
I have been running mostly meat rigs loaded with the new Familiar Bite Herring strips. The new strips are even better than those before. I highly recommend you grab a few packs and try them out.
Flashers and flies are taking a few fish as well. Plugs as well.
Give us a call to hit the water this summer.
