Spring is quickly approaching and that means spring steelhead run. Both the Grand and Muskegon rivers have been fishing good all winter when the weather allowed us to get out.

Currently the Grand River is high and dirty as a result of the round of storms that hit Michigan last week. Before the rain, the Grand was at a perfect level and fishing good. As of today, it looks like the river has crested at 6300 cfs which is not a ridiculous high flow., Read More
