Steelhead fishing has been good on the Grand and Muskegon rivers. We have been seeing some good sized fish on our outings with a mix of both chrome and dark fish. Backbouncing and floatfishing eggs have been productive tactics. River levels are good and water temps are still cool which should help to prolong the migration of fish.

We are definitely in winter fishing mode here in West Michigan. The January thaw has been nice and has opened up our area rivers for fishing. The steelhead bite has been pretty consistent. Floatfishing has been productive in the darker water with structure.

After a few weeks of some brutally cold weather, a little warm-up has allowed us to get back on the water. Float-fishing with spawn bags or jigs has been productive in the slow dark holes.
