Steelhead fishing on the river is very good

Our fall weather right now feels more like summer. We haven’t had rain in weeks and fish feel more vulnerable in low water and sluggish. We’ve been working hard every day to figure out what is getting them to chase and bite!
Salmon fishing on the Muskgon River is still going strong. The trout and steelhead bite behind the Kings is starting to pick up, and that’s exciting! I enjoy swinging large flashy spinners and floating beats through runs for fall CHROME. We've also been finding some big smallies and Pike hanging around!

On the Pine, the smallies have been tough, but we’ve been getting good sized smallies when we find them. The pike have been hitting top water early and hanging tight to wood as the sun comes up. Working log jams in tight areas is exciting and can be very rewarding.
I’m really hoping for some rain soon to perk all the fish up and more cool days. November fishing is the best IMO. Great cool weather; fish are active before winter, and fewer people are out on the water.
GET A HOLD OF ME SOON TO GET OUT ON THE WATER!

It's been solid even with the cold temperatures settling in. Looking like it's gonna be a solid winter for fishing if the temps are warm enough to get out. Same to you. Hope you and your family are having a wonderful thanksgiving.

Captain Dan was excellent. Very knowledgeable on fish locations and species. Brought plenty of poles and cooked us a great lunch. Great guy!

Had a great time. It was my grandson’s first steelhead experience. He loved it. Joe is one of the best guides I’ve dealt with. There have been many and he crushed it. Dave Bernd PS Would you have Joe text me the pictures he took today. Thanks Nate
