December 11, 2018 - Mild Thaw
Steelhead and trout fishing have been good locally and up north, but numbers of fish are low and water temps and made things challenging. A warmup over the next few days will greatly improve things, and make fishing more bearable. Egg flies, estaz eggs, and flashy nymphs have all been good lately. Check our website for gift ideas, class schedules, and other fishing related resources.
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.
