During July and August, there is one fish that stands out above the rest.. Smallmouth Bass!
When the water gets on the warm side for trout, you can find one of our favorite targets--Smallmouth Bass. If you haven't fished for Smallies, you've got to try it! These fish fight harder pound-for-pound than any other freshwater fish. Unlike Largemouth Bass, that give out after a few short bursts, Smallies don't quit.

The action is amazing--stripping streamers in clear water and seeing a huge mouth engulf the fly. You set the hook and then it really gets interesting. Topwater is even more amazing--you can catch Smallmouth on hatch-matching mayflies and caddis, or go for gurgling bass bugs that they'll smash.

We have a few special sections of the Muskegon River that we fish for Smallmouth Bass, where the fish grow a lot bigger. The average fish in some sections is 14"--much larger than the 10" average fish in much of the rest of the state.
