It’s been a busy month and a half for us running salmon trips. The fishing was good despite the strange conditions we experienced. Very low, clear and warm water conditions had the fish trickling in instead of pushing through in big waves. Nonetheless our customers had some awesome days and great memories were made. As of today, we finally got some much-needed rain and cooler temps, bumping up river levels and dropping river temps. I have a few more salmon trips to run this week, then I’m hoping to switch over to fall steelhead. If you are interested in fall steelhead, get in touch with me regarding trip information. The best way to reach me is by phone, call or text. 616 813-5989.

Summer has been flying by. It’s hard to believe in another month we will start running King Salmon trips. As of late, smallmouth bass fishing has been very good on area rivers. The Muskegon River is at a good summer level and very clear. The Grand River is looking good as well and has a normal summertime stain. Top=water and finesse fishing tactics have been catching fish. I have availability throughout the month of August for bass and other warm water species. Also, get in touch with me for information on our guided trips for fall migratory fish, salmon and steelhead.

Summer smalmouth bass trips have been going good so far this summer despite the lack of precipitation. Area rivers are low. The Muskegon River is low and very clear at the present time. It has been fishing well. The Grand River is also very low for this time of year but does have a slight stain to the water. We have been experiencing a good top-water bite on the Muskegon River, especially first thing in the morning. Both rivers have been fishing good with the usual sub-surface presentations. I do have plenty of summer availability for those interested in a summer fishing trip. It is a relaxing way to spend a summer day and is suitable for both experienced and new anglers. We typically catch a lot of fish, with some large ones in the mix.

I have had some days become available for September and October King Salmon due to a couple cancellations. One was a four day cancellation. It would be best to contact me directly to go over what I have available. These trips will take place on either the Pere Marquette or Muskegon River. We are also taking bookings for fall steelhead.
