The Muskegon river was near flood stage today 6inches more would have put it there. The water was
dirty and the fishing was sporadic, we did catch a good number of Steelhead Rainbow trout and Brown
trout and you can find reports of guides having caught way to many Steelhead today. But these are the
guides that sit in one spot all day 100 feet from the boat ramp, raking gravel spawning Steelhead.
Thats not the way I like to fish and I don't believe that is what clients want. But if you like to fish in one
place all day that you could walk to. I have the information you need to fish Spawning Steelhead. Good
Day
MAY 1, 2009
The Muskegon river was rocking today up to 6000 cfm from 4800 yesterday. The Steelhead were still
on the bite along with the Rainbow and Brown Trout.
April 30 2009
It was just one of those days you get now and then. Just went out fishing with a friend and it rained all
day, the water level was high at 6.5 the water temp was at 52degrees. But hay the catching was
phenomenal. We both have about 30 Steelhead on and landed 12 or 14 each.
The fish were hot getting from on side of the river to the other in the air, out of the water it was unreal.
I would like to go fishing with some one that clams to catch 100 Steelhead a day. I was at 30 and fished 8
hours and was busy all day.
Of course I used a 7wt rod today and should have had a least an eight wt. Man those fish were crazy
today.
Water continues to run higher than normal fishing continues to be very good.
Here it is the end of April and Steelhead fishing remains strong on the Muskegon river. The recent rains
have the river level up and stained, but the Steelhead are taking Flys, and Fly fishing is what I have been
doing the most the last ten days.
I look for a New pod of Steelhead to enter the river in this high water. The Steelhead fishing should be
available into June. Trout fishing has also been good we have fished a few afternoons, for Brown trout
and rainbow trout taking dry flys.
