While steelhead may be past their peak on most rivers, forecasted rains will likely bring in pushes of fresh fish. Egg imitations continue to produce with all the spawning fish on beds, as well as fry and alevin patterns. Water temperatures are on the rise, and the Trout activity seems to be picking up. Fish are chasing streamers on cloudier days, although action has slowed a bit as water levels have dropped. You won't want to miss out on the streamer fishing opportunities with the coming rains. When water temps start to get into the high 40's and the...

Well folks what a strange ride we have been on. Going from low water and no snow, to several feet of snow, to the huge melt and spring like conditions and then just like that thrown back into winter. Mother nature is definitely having a fun time throwing us curve balls. With that being said I do welcome the snow to help us sustain the water levels we have. The Rogue is currently running 240cfs, the Grand downtown is 5370cfs, the Muskegon at Croton is 1970cfs, and the PM at Scottville is 590cfs. Whether or not winter stays around or spring comes...

Well folks, for the first time in a couple years Punxsutawney Phil popped out of his burrow and was unable to see his shadow - it looks like spring will be here before we know it. Now if that isn’t great science, I don’t know what is. All sarcasm aside, this winter has had its ups and downs and for a minute I figured we’d all be glued to our vises for what can feel like eternity in the winter. Now with all these mild days coming, I’m finding it harder and harder to spend hours each day focusing...
New Year 2024!
Rob and company got out on the Muskegon for some trout fishing over the holiday break. They did pretty well, and even ran into friend of the shop Kevin Feenstra who was doing battle with a dandy. The streamer bite started out hot in the upper river with near constant action from teener sized fish. Fishing along shallow wood and soft edges usually brought out a fish or two. 2-3 inch black streamers were the ticket, although fish were moving on other colors as well. We had more fish chase or follow the streamer than swipe at it, and "killing"...

Happy Holidays, folks. Hope everyone is enjoying December and looking forward to the forthcoming holidays and new year. There are still plenty of great angling opportunities available to local anglers as we continue to move through the month… Steelhead fishing has been consistent enough for the folks who have been getting out and looking for them. However, as I am sure some have noticed, this hasn’t been the greatest fall run by any stretch. Playing with a fish or two can be considered a good day at the present time. Swung presentations and indicator tactics have been the best way...
