Spring Fishing, Summer Weather

Wow, what a change in weather patterns this spring has seemed to produce.  From cold torrential rains to blue bird summer days.  The fishing has been anything but consistent, but should continue to improve as spring moves into summer.  Steelhead are still around in the Grand Tribs, Muskegon and onward North.  Trout fishing has just begun to pick up, and with the higher water, the streamer bite as been good.  Look for drys to pop any day with the warmer than average temps.  Be mindful still as some rivers are still ripping and wading can still be dangerous.  (Fish from 4/30, playing a little hooky from work.....)

GEAR REVIEW: Also had a chance to fish the 9 foot, 7 weight, Orvis Helios 2.0.  Can you you say fish slaying stick.  This rod can effortless cast articulated hairy creatures on 350gr line with ease.  The light weight and effortless casting with this rod make it a must have for trout on streamers or the not far off Smallmouth fishing.  Come into either shop and cast one today, or hell, just buy the thing and I will drive to where you are at to pick the thing up if you are unsatisfied.  (Link Below)
