winter trout fishing hitting "the zone" - 1/5/12

steelhead on a scud!

I'll take these all day long

Well rewarded for a good drift!

butterball; thought this brown might cluck

perfect winter run on a calm day

Out on the water the past few days and fish seem to be heading even further into their winter feeding patterns.  Water temp drop should keep things only getting better for winter fishing.  Muskegon River scuds(#16-#18) still producing best.  Fish size right now is excellent; lots of plump, healthy ones.  When the weather is decent you can't beat being on the river this time of year!
