been doing well. Best pattern for the White have been the Mojo fry pattern, dark
knight, Hex nymphs, clown eggs, and Ice Man minnows. Fry patterns have been outfishing
clown eggs and egg patterns. Stone flies fishing well on sunny days. Had a fantastic
three days with Dr. Steve and Josh. They landed 15 big browns in three days on
straight flies with both myself and Jimmy B. We fished mostly the upper river.
We should expect to receive good numbers of steelhead and trout over the next
few days. Longer day light, Strong full moons, and slightly higher than normal
water levels have steelhead on the move. Good number moving up from the lower
river.

dates available for this weekend. Brown Trout fishing has been very good with
warmer tempratures ahead! Both Floats Spawn or Fly Fishing!
Water levels
are stable: 1900 cfs: White River Streamflow Data There
are a variety of nymph flies that imitate the Winter Stonefly.
Most of these patterns are simple, from a hare's ear nymph or
pheasant-tail nymph colored dark brown or black with marker, to more involved
patterns such as the Egg
Sucking Stone, black Viagra caddis, Mojo Dark Knight, Rubber Legged Stone,
etc. Remember that these flies should be dead-drifted the same way you'd fish
glo-bugs or egg flies, under an indicator or bottom-bounced through holes that
look promising. No vigorous stripping is needed with these - keep in mind that
while the weather is warmer than usual, the water is a few degrees above freezing.
Deep and slow wins the race here - make sure that your flies drift along current
breaks and bubble-lines, to ensure that any fish present has time to take a shot
at them. Strike back when the strike comes, snub that fish before it can get loose,
and then enjoy the music of your reel underscoring the winter sunlight dancing
on
Wednesday
- Good numbers
of Steelhead in the lower river near Muskegon! Chrome fish are beginning to move.
Spring Steelhead should enter the river later this week in decent numbers. Longer
day light and a surge of snow melt- run off should get things going a bit. Fishing
has been good over the last week but Steelhead have become very content to watch
your offering go by. Multiple drifts through a know location has been the key
to getting hooked up. Chrome Steelhead should greatly improve the bite!
Tuesday - Had a fantastic day with Wally Riker and Marvin! Today was the
first day of the spring season that stones flies outfished and out produced all
other methods including floats / spawn. There were a lot of stone flies in the
water column - We landed quite a few steelhead today while fly fishing. Water
levels are slightly up and stained. Perfect levels to bring in some great new
chromers from Muskegon Lake.

Centerpin
fishing for Steelhead ~ Floats and spawn has been our technique of choice
for covering water. Fly fishing has also been great, keeping up with bait fishing
numbers. Citris clown eggs and golden/egg nuke eggs have been fishing well. TroutBeads
have also been excellent while fishing behind the salmon. Centerpin Steelhead
fishing has been outstanding with the low-clear water levels on the Muskegon and
Manistee Rivers. Centerpin float fishing is the best method for a stealty presentation.
Muskegon River Steelhead
Report -
Steelhead
have been showing up in good numbers on the lower Manistee and Muskegon River.
With the spawning
Chinook Salmon, and
higher water levels, this should be an outstand fall run. Chrome is on the way.
October, November, and December offer the best in fly fishing.
Best Fly Patterns: Citris
Clown eggs, Circus Clown, Nuke eggs, apricot, and steelhead orange have produced
the most fish. Egg patterns
have been the name of the game.

Manistee
River Winter Steelhead Fishing Report - The
Manistee River recieved a very nice push of fish this morning. We hit a nice pod
of chrome steelhead and fishing was quite good most of the day. Floating line
& indy rigs was the name of the game. We landed 9 out of the 16 Steelhead
that we hooked! Welcome to Fall Steelhead on the
Big Manistee River in Michigan!
Muskegon River fishing
Report for Steelhead :
We
will guiding anglers on the Manistee and Pere Marquette River for Steelhead. There
are good numbers of Fall Steelhead on both rivers, especially after the cool rains
and cooler tempratures we've had over the past two days. Manistee received over
an inch of rain yesterday! Water temperatures on the Muskegon River are at an
outstanding 53 degrees which means we are a solid month away from Brown Trout
on the Muskegon River. We drive to Manistee each morning to get our clients into
numbers of bright chrome Steelhead on the Big Manistee and Pere Marquette Rivers!
Grand River Steelhead are also fishing well along with the Rogue River in Rockford.
Grand River
Steelhead in Grand Rapids, (49505) doing well at Sixth Street.
Manistee
River Spring Steelhead Report:
Steelhead & Lake Browns are just now entering the Big Manistee River near
Insta-Launch and Manistee harbor. There are also fair numbers on the Little Manistee
below the weir. We have recently hit a few nice pushes of steelhead on the lower
Manistee. A strong East wind or Northeast wind to turn over the Lake and get Coho
and Skamania moving in a hurry! Cold shoreline water would move salmon in close
and heading into the river.
Pere
Marquette River Fall Steelhead Report:
Lower PM has been showing a few fish and improving daily. Steve and Steve did
quite well on Friday (9/4) going 9 for 16 on crankbaits. Scottville down has had
fish moving through but have been difficult to stay with. Walhalla and braids
between Reek Rd. and upper Custer should start seeing pushes in the next few days
with fish moving into South Branch of the Pere Marquette.

TROPHY TROUT ON STREAMERS ON THE MUSKEGON RIVER.
Steelhead Fry & Sucker Spawn | During
the day- Large Streamers and fry patterns
near the bank. Shaded pockets hold the fish! Sink-tip fly lines have been the
key for Muskegon River Trout and Steelhead. Nymphing
with sucker spawn patterns and small nymphs has also been producing numbers Trout
on the Muskegon River.
Dry flies & Drake spinners in the evenings.
Some of the best hatches occur as the sun drops below the tree line with low light.

May
& June are the the time for Dry fly fishing with the Gray Drake Spinners.
(Gray Drakes are a mid-sized may fly with smoke clear wings,
a thin variegated body, and a white ring around the eyes.) Most spinner falls
occur just be for dark. Drakes
also always spinner fall on a riffle or fast current. Muskegon's most overlooked
hatch, typically found in the middle to lower sections of the river. Thornapple

Guided
Trout Fishing On Michigan's Muskegon River!!
During
the months of May and June, Fly
Fishing Trout for resident Brown and Rainbows Trout is excellent. The Muskegon
River is chock full of spawning White, Hognose, and Redhorse suckers. These spawning
suckers produce vast amounts of roe that the trout gorge on. Hence "Sucker
Spawn patterns" so favored by anglers in Lake Erie tributaries. Fishing floating
lines and strike indicators behind spawning sucker redds produces big numbers
of trout during the day. Indicator Nymphing for Muskegon
River Trout.
Afternoon Brown trout trips have been out producing
morning trips: much less angling pressure and more shade on the water. Stone flies
have played and important role in the afternoon bite!
In the evenings of May and June, The Muskegon River is home to the famed Gray
Drake Spinner fall and the Iysonchia Bicolor, two large varieties of may flies
that tend to spinner fall just before dark. These large May flies attract the
attention of trophy Browns on the dry fly. These trout may be selective at times,
but are certainly well worth the wait. Michigan Fly Fishing Guides, wait the entire
year for the six weeks of the Gray Drake spinner fall and incredible dry fly fishing!
Steelhead
Fry, Rainbow Sucker eggs, Sculpins, and Crayfish play a huge role in the Muskegon
River bio-mass. During bright sunny days, nymph fishing sucker spawn and fry patterns
has been deadly!! During the Summer months, larger Trout key in on these over
looked food sources!
Muskegon
River Trout - There
are lots of suckers spawning and encouraging
the bigger browns and rainbows
to feed on nymphs behind sucker redds. Excellent numbers of Gray Drakes seen in
the last couple of days, mostly during the afternoon period. Many of stocked Trout
targeting dry fly Caddis with an occasional big fish on the surface. As water
temperatures increase, larger Trout will come up. Sulpher emergence is soon to
come. Streamer stripping with salmon fry patterns has been working well for larger
Trout - We need warmer water to get the big boys to chase streamers.
Guided Winter Steelhead
on Michigan's Muskegon River.
Why do Steelhead key in on Winter Stoneflies? Great
Lakes Steelhead are perhaps the most opportunistic member of the salmonid
family. While Chinook
and Coho salmon require large schools of baitfish like smelt and alewives
to support their numbers, steelhead take a substantial amount of their forage
from insect sources, supplementing with baitfish, crayfish, gobies, and whatever
else strikes their fancy. This fact leads some experts to believe that steelhead
"residentize" back to their stream-trout roots when they spend any length
of time in a river environment. When February and March roll around, the winter
stonefly hatches begin in the cold river environments in Michigan.
It has
been my experience as a fly fishing guide that Stone flies begin to emerge and
become active in late morning through the afternoon, usually when water tempratures
are at there warmest. Steelhead also tend to key on them during the warmest part
of day when they are the most abundant and moving.
The steelhead holding
in river pools, waiting for spawning time to begin, may revert to feeding behavior
that worked well during the early stages of life. When you're winter flyfishing
and you notice tiny black specks( they look like carpenter ants) on the snow around
you, study them closely. You'll find that these are adult Stoneflies, possibly
ringing the dinner bell for whatever lurks in the depths of that hole in front
of you. Fish accordingly, as your luck may have just turned.

Winter Steelhead in Michigan Rivers ~
During
the Winter Months, ( December, January, February, March) the Muskegon River is
loaded with Fall & Winter Steelhead. Unlike the Grand and Pere Marquette Rivers,
the Muskegon is a tailwater fishery, this means the Muskegon River never freezes.
This allows us to guide anglers throughout the winter months for Steelhead and
Trout. Fly fishing during the Winter is a beautiful time to be on the water with
good numbers of Steelhead and lots of wildlife along the rivers banks.
Michigan
fly fishing can be at it's best during the Winter. Few anglers fish this time
of year, the Steelhead are eager to feed well with little angling pressure or
guides on the water. Our guides love fly fishing during the Winter months. Michigan
is blessed with many great rivers that may be fished year-around. We
offer guided fly fishing adventures year around for Michigan's Winter Steelhead
on the Muskegon River, Pere Marquette, and Manistee. March, April, and May are
also great times to chase Spring Steelhead. The stone fly emergence during March
produces excellent fly fishing for Steelhead in March. We have guide dates available
for Spring Steelhead on the Muskegon River, Pere Marquette River, St. Joseph,
White River, and Dowagiac River. |
Hot and Humid equals Gray Drakes and BIG Trout!
Gray Drakes, Drakes, and
more Drakes!!
Streamer and wet fly fishing with sink tips for trout
are producing decent numbers of nice fish, especially on overcast days. Big, bold
streamers have produced some big brown trout for those who are willing to work.
A wide variety of insects are currently emerging, Caddis, Sulphers, and Gray Drakes
being primary in the evenings. Sulphur mayfly hatches/spinner falls are heavy
with other common mayflies getting underway. Gray Drake spinner falls have been
starting around 9pm and going well into the evenings with last light producing
the most rises and best fish. ( 9pm-10pm )
Muskegon River Trout fishing has
been excellent over the past few days!
Wow! What a change
in weather! Warmer temperatures forecasted and the fishing has been very good!
Muskegon River Trout and Streamer fishing has been great with the huge amounts
on Sucker and Steelhead fry. Fry patterns have been the flavor of the month. Both
Rainbows and Browns have been feeding heavily on fry. Trout have also keyed up
on Caddis emergers and or fry depending on the weather. |
