Welcome to the Muskegon River's premier guide service for Michigan
Spring Steelhead! We are sincerely looking forward to the up coming
season! We are excited about the current water levels and the new
"Bubbler System" built to increase the survival of resident
Rainbow and Brown Trout. Spring Steelhead should be fantastic with
the higher water levels and increased dissolved oxygen!

Video Clip: Float
Fishing Muskegon River Steelhead
One of the best float fishing videos we have filmed for Fall Steelhead
on the Muskegon River and Great Lakes region. Lots of float fishing
with a ton of hook ups and fish landed on video! Now is the time
to float fish Steelhead!
Unlike
the Grand River, White River, and Pere Marquette Rivers, the Muskegon
is a tailwater fishery, this means the Muskegon River never freezes!
This allows us to guide anglers throughout the winter months for
Steelhead and Trout. Float fishing during the Winter is a beautiful
time to be on the water with good numbers of Steelhead and lots
of wildlife along the rivers banks.
Now is the
time to float fish Steelhead!

River Fishing Report
West Michigan
Steelhead Fishing Reports:
Holland - Skamania Steelhead near St. Joe.
Grand Haven - Spawn off the piers-
Casting spoons and Rapalas.
Grand River at Grand Rapids - Steelhead were still being
caught by those using a jig and wax worm or spawn bags. Those fishing
off the east wall were using white jigs with three or four wax worms
or spawn under a float. Boat anglers are back bouncing with spawn.
Those fishing off Fulton Street caught walleye on bucktail jigs.
Those trolling rapalas caught walleye and steelhead near Rockford
Dam.
Muskegon Lake - Boat fishing is pretty much done however
shore anglers were still taking a few walleye. Most are waiting
for better ice or a warm-up, whichever comes first. Trolling Thundersticks-
spinners, live shinners.
Muskegon River - Anglers are still finding some steelhead
below Bridgeton and in the lower river near Maple Island and Giles
Rd near Muskegon and Muskegon Lake. Both Pike, Walleye, and Perch.
Ludington - Good catches of Steelhead off the North Pier
casting KastMaster Spoons, Spawn, and live Alewives. Coho and also
a handful of WhiteFish.
Floats
and Spawn has been our method of choice for both Trout and Steelhead.
This technique allow the bait of fly to stay in the strike zone
much longer than other techniques giving the fishing a long time
to inspect the offering. Michigan is also blessed with a great number
on lake-run Brown Trout, Coho and Chinook Salmon, Lake Trout, and
Brookies during the fall months.

fantastic Steelhead fishing close to home. Chicago is a quick drive
