Michigan Steelhead Fishing Report RSS
November 27, 2018 - Winter Bliss
Steelhead and trout fishing has been good in the Grand River and West Michigan. Nymphing has been consistent, and swinging spey flies can be good on certain days. Conditions will improve as the weather stabilizes to a more consistent winter pattern. Lots of large steelhead lurking our waters. The quality of fishing changes day to day.
November 20, 2018 - Thanksgiving Steel Report
Steelhead fishing in the Grand River and surrounding tributaries has been good, but the weather continues to dampen the action. There are plenty of fish around, but dropping water temperatures can make it difficult to get fish to cooperate. Nymphing egg patterns and nymphs is consistent, and swinging spey flies is an option, but not necessarily a numbers thing.
November 13, 2018 - Winter Creepin'
Steelhead fishing in West Michigan has been great, but the weather has been less than favorable. Egg flies and nymphs have been standard fare. The Grand River has a large number of fish, but the water temps have dropped drastically causing a lull in the action. Indicator fishing and has been consistent. Stay warm with new items from Simms and Patagonia.
November 6, 2018 - Full Force
Fall steelhead is in full swing. The Grand River has been fishing well and the rain in the forecast should continue to bring fresh fish into the system. Standard steelhead nymphs have been producing, and the fresh fish are taking swung flies well. Swing by the shop to gear up on warm clothes for the colder weather ahead.
October 31, 2018 - Rogue River and Grand River Update
Last night we got some much needed rain. The Rogue River came up and peaked around 360 cfs. It is flowing with a light coffee stain. The gauge on the Grand River is back online and currently sitting around 4500 cfs and rising. This rain should push some fish up the ladder setting us up for a great week of steelhead fishing. Swinging has been productive the last couple of days, try some flashier flies like Feenstra's Grapefruit Leech or Aquatic Nuisance. Bright egg flies and big stones are great options for indicator fishing.
