What a fall/ early winter its been! We have had some great fishing on our guide trips. On this last day of 2019, the rivers in West Michigan are on the rise from some pretty heavy rainfall we received about 24 hrs ago. Once the rivers settle down alittle and with the mild weather forecasted, we should have some good steelhead fishing well into January. Get ahold of me if you want to get on the water and do some winter fishing! Fresh air, awesome scenery and good fishing make winter a memorable experience on the river. Also, I am booking spring steelhead trips and summer smallmouth so get with me if theres a date your interested in. (616) 813-5989
Steelhead fishing has been consistent. The fish have been making us search them out, but when they are found the will bite. We have mainly been fishing the Muskegon River and the fish are spread out in the higher than normal flows. Backbouncing bags and floatfishing beads or spawn have been our most productive tactics. The Grand has been very high to start out the month. Hopefully we will get a break from the precipitation and it will get to a more fishable level. I love December steelhead fishing and the big bucks it always seems to produce. Get with me if your interested in getting out this winter and doing some trophy fishing.
River levels are high to start out the month of November. Steelhead are trickling in and are spread out in the Muskegon River. With the fish spread out, backbouncing has been our most productive technique for putting fish in the boat. Also, bobber-dogging beads or eggs has brought fish to the net. Covering water works best with the current water conditions. We usually get a good November push of fish, so November and December are great months to book a steelhead charter. We have also been fishing the Grand. The best fishing has been up near the 6th street dam. But as river temps cool and river levels drop, the downstream water will fish good. Hopefully we will see a break in the rain so that will happen. These fall steelhead are worth pursuing, get in touch with me for available dates.
