Michigan Steelhead Fishing Report RSS

More water, new fish. It doesn't seem very February to me outside, but we will take what mother nature gives us. Rivers across the state got a bump in flows with the rain last week. The Rogue River is currently sitting at 500 cfs and falling. The Grand River is quite high at around 6500 cfs. This bump in water should bring up our first wave of spring fish. Fishing has picked up a good bit with the push of water and the warm temps. A couple shop buddies got into some nice steelhead on the PM over the weekend. With the...

Steelhead Fishing Report Over the past week we have seen two different types of water conditions, the water before sunday was getting low and clear again with flows around 230 cfs and dropping. We were running light leaders 10lbs - 8lbs just depending on the water that day and the flies we are running were very small natural patterns to get bites (peach, light pink, light orange regular eggs and rag eggs). But as the week went on rain started hitting the ground bringing up the water levels to around 350 cfs and climbing due to the rain I am watching...

Fishing Report from a couple recent guide trips on local Grand Rapids waters. Steelhead fishing is really starting to pick up, with stable weather, temps, and water levels up a bit, steelhead have been happy. This time of year can be very hard to find fish but once you do usually they’ll eat, just have to get the right pattern in front of their face. Get out and take advantage of the mild winter we are having, there are plenty of fish around! We have been having success running smaller stones and rag eggs lately. Stones in 10s and 12s,...

So Michigan did Michigan things again over the last 2 weeks... From 20 inches of snow and -10 degrees, to rain and highs in the 50s. But here at the shop we aren't complaining because we needed the water bad. With all the melt off and rain, every river across the state got a much needed bump in flows. The fish have been loving it as well which makes catching fish a little easier with some color and higher water level opening up some secondary fishing lies which have been too low to fish for a while. The bump in flows...
