Gateway to Michigan's finest fly-fishing
(Beautiful Muskegon River Steelhead)
Here’s the best of the day among a few others that just didn’t want their picture taken. Including a very large river brown that popped the hook at the net and just didn’t fall back into it. Despite losing the brown, it was a beautiful day with
I can still remember the day when the light bulb turned on and I finally understood the need to change my float to match the water type I was fishing. Changing floats based on water type isn’t something you hear much about. Actually it’s a simple change that can make
It’s early black stonefly time! (Tainy’s and Allocaps) Bio-drift has started on warm sunny afternoons and the exotic predators are chowing down!!. The double red banded buck steelhead are chomping nymphs along with resident browns and bows ( bellies are loaded!)….

St. Joseph River: Continues to produce a few walleye and steelhead. Most were fishing near the Berrien Springs Dam. Look for the steelhead bite with the warm-up.
Grand River near Grand Rapids: Continues to produce a few good runs of steelhead. Fish have been caught on jigs with wax worms, spawn and beads. Most are fishing near the 6th Street Dam and below. Walleye were caught off the wall and at Fulton Street. No big numbers, but steelhead still can be found in the Rogue River.
Muskegon River: Had decent steelhead fishing.
Manistee River: Look for steelhead in the deeper holes during the cold snap. Brown trout fishing was slow below Tippy Dam. With the next thaw, steelhead fishing should really pick up.
Pere Marquette River: Was also producing steelhead for those using spawn, beads and wax worms.
The restaurant will be closed the weekend of February 21-23. We’ll reopen on February 27-29.

And then…there was twenty-inches of snow on the ground! The mild winter continues, but it hasn’t been too mild. We’ve had a few cold nights, some ice in the river, some stuck vehicles. Between a few snowstorms the sun has been shining happily. Another warm-up is headed our way this
This has been a crazy winter with the mild temps. Ice has been non-existent to mostly unsafe and the Grand is finally in good shape. Here is our Grand River fishing report as of February 18, 2020.
