The spring steelhead run is quickly approaching. I have some good March week dates available yet. My weekend availability is March 11 (4hr trip only on this date) March 12, 19, and 26. April week dates are available as well. April weekend availability at this time is April 15, 16, 22, 23 and 29. With the warmer than average winter we have had so far, there is a possibility the run could get going early. But the fish will ultimately decide that! Winter fishing has been going good for us on both the Grand and Muskegon Rivers. Some days we have had to work for them harder than others, but that is typical of winter steelhead fishing. We got a bump in water levels on both rivers from the February rainfall. A big push of fish did not seem to come in with the increased water levels, but some new fish have trickled in, and the older fish were shuffled around a bit.

Get in touch with me, 616 813-5989, if you have any questions about our spring steelhead trips or any of the trips we offer throughout the year. My King salmon availability is filling up already, so if you are interested in a guided salmon trip next September or October it would be best to talk with me soon about that.

The buck pictured above is a mature, wild winter steelhead. We have been seeing some very nice fish on our outings so far this winter. The Grand River has been fishing good for us. Bobber fishing beads, spawn bags and hair jigs has been productive. Back-bouncing eggs has been working well too. The recent mild temps have been great for getting on the river. I love winter steelhead fishing. If it’s something you have never experienced before, you might want to consider giving it a try with the above normal temperatures forecasted. I have both weekend and weekday availability this month for Grand or Muskegon River steelhead. I will be running trips for steelhead now through the month of April. (616) 813-5989

Steelhead fishing has been pretty good to us this late fall. It won’t be long, and we can officially say its winter. The steelhead are moving into their typical winter holding water and will become very predictable. Beads and spawn bags fished under bobbers have been taking fish along with back-bouncing eggs. The last few weeks I have been running my trips on the Grand River which is very low and clear compared to recent years at this time. The Muskegon River has good flow and is very clear as of today. The weather has been pretty crazy this last month, which at times has made the steelhead fishing non-consistent. Everything should start to stabilize, and the fishing will follow suit. I’m expecting some good winter steelhead fishing and have a couple of dates available at the end of this month. I have plenty of January and February availability. I love it on the river during the winter months. Get with me to experience some West Michigan winter steelhead fishing! 616 813-5989
