~ Michigan's White River in Hesperia ~

Located in Hesperia, Michigan, the White river is a hidden treasure among rivers! The White is about 20 miles from Newaygo and is nessled right between the Muskegon and the Pere Marquette Rivers.

This quaint little river is a fairly shallow and easily waded. The bottom contour is similar to Au Sable River or Pere Marquette River with shallow gravel riffles with holes and runs in between.


White River Brown Trout ~ June is prime time dry fly fishing. Streamers also produce big browns!

The White River is generally waded; drift boating is difficult due to the normal low water. It is mostly suited to rafts and Wading.

We generally guide the White when the Muskegon River is too high or a new batch of chromers has just shown up!

Species: in the White River include Steelhead from November through May, resident Trout year-round but primarily May and June, Salmon in September and October. Other species include Walleye and white suckers.


White River Steelhead ~ The White offers world class fly fishing for Great Lakes Steelhead!

Hatches: on the White include Sulfurs, Gray Drake, Ephrons, and a plethora of Caddis and Stone flies! Stone flies emerge in late febuary and March. Primary hatchs are in May, June , July, and August.
