Report 3/21/11

Fished the upper river (Muskegon) today with friends Dan and Chad. Hooked a few steelhead on my wiggle-smolt. Water is currently at 3250 cfs with about 2 feet of visibility. It appears that there are a decent amount of fish in the system with a larger percentage in the upper half.

Send in the Clowns!

West Michigan received a good dousing of rain today. Water has come up on all major systems. This will bring more steelhead in...no doubt. We are near peak on the Grand River. Big numbers of fish and big numbers of anglers were in force this weekend. Muskegon is fishing well as well as other smaller streams. I have a few dates in April available. Pictured is an awefully big clown egg.

Tightlines,

Report

The water is rising and falling at this time. With snowmelt comes runoff which equals steelhead migration. The Grand River is seeing a fair amount of steelhead and browns being caught. The Muskegon is seeing a few fish caught as well. We have a possible "big" storm coming this weekend which could add even more water to our watersheds. This will payoff in the long run.

Tightlines,
Nick

Mr. Byker with a great fish from Thursday. Taken on his first time ever using a Spey rod. Sculpins and leeches have been taking fish. We sure could use some rain. Water levels are very low.

Here is my brother Jamie with a very nice Muskegon river rainbow that was caught being greedy. Many salmon available at this time. Steelhead are spread out throughout the system.

Report 10/16/10

Salmon fishing remains good at this time. We could use some more rain to raise the river level. Reports of a few fresher fish entering the river have been circling. Trout fishing behind active salmon redds has been productive as well. A few steelhead are around, but it will be a while before fishable numbers appear.
