Winter steelhead fishing has been great. There has been a big improvement in numbers of steelhead compared to the last couple of years. At the current time we are in the thick of a deep freeze, and most rivers are locked up. But any warm-up we get will open the rivers up and we will be on the water. If you love to fish and have never experienced winter steelhead fishing, I highly suggest it. I run both 4 and 6 hour trips during the winter months and base start time on air temps and river conditions. Dress warm and come experience a day on the river. During normal winter conditions, steelhead are very predictable as far as location, and some good days are very possible. I have February dates available as well as some good spring dates up for grabs. Don’t hesitate to call me at 616 813-5989 if your are looking for information on a possible trip. I am on the water all 12 months of the year. My 2025 salmon season is filling up. Late August through mid- October is when I target those. If you are contemplating a fall migration salmon trip during that timeframe, get in touch with me sooner than later.

Its been a busy couple of months, so I apologize for the lapse in reports. Our smallmouth bass season ended strong. What great summer fishing we had. I started running King Salmon trips around labor day weekend, and it has been fun. The season started out with very warm temperatures and low clear rivers due to the lack of rainfall. Last week we had some significant rain, bumping up river levels which are now starting to drop. I expect the salmon fishing to stay good for the next couple of weeks. If you are thinking of booking a river salmon charter next year (2025), please consider doing it early as these dates fill quickly. Steelhead are now starting to make a presence in area rivers and in a few weeks I will switch over to fishing for those. I have dates available this fall and winter, so don’t hesitate to contact me for information. Text or phone call to 616 813-5989. If you call and I dont answer, please leave a message I always return calls.

Summer has definitely arrived. The weather has been hot, and the smallmouth bite has been too. Both the Muskegon and Grand Rivers have been fishing great. Topwater fishing has been good on some days and the finesse fishing has been consistent. We have been catching a lot of fish on our trips and getting into some good fish. These are great trips if you are looking for numbers of fish. I have openings throughout the summer before I begin my Pere Marquette King Salmon charters. Feel free to get in touch with me regarding trip information or for an up-to-date fishing report. 616 813-5989
