Muskegon River Steelhead - 4/7/12

David w/ a hard hitting, healthy drop-back

Charlie w/ big smiles and a great fish

Today was a great one.  Fishing pressure was unbelievably low, skies clear, and fish in the mood to eat.  Spent most of the day searching for drop-backs, fishing deeper/faster runs.  To top it off Charlie and David were close to 100% for steelhead!  One of those days that really makes you appreciate the amazing fishery that the Muskegon is.

Muskegon River Steelhead - 4/5/12

David and son Ryan w/ an awesome buck!

 

another nice one on a fry pattern in the dark water

   Spent today on the water w/ father and son team David and Ryan.  While it was a bit nippy this morning the day turned out to be a great one.  A few fish in the boat helped heat things up as well.  It was great to see a father and son enjoy a day out on the water having fun.  They make a pretty good team.  Great job guys!

Muskegon River Trout - 3/9/12

Mark with a hog brown...nice

well proportioned and appointed bow

going commando

Water levels took a huge jump today making the task of finding feeding fish a bit challenging.  Water levels  went up about 1,000 cfs and water remains stained but still has decent visibility.  Spent the day w/ collage roommate and good friend Mark.  While we had to search for fish a bit harder due to water conditions, fishing was pretty good.  Sontefly nymphs continue to be a major food item on the trouts menu "du jour".  Fish size, numbers and overall health continue to impress.
