Current Report
Winter is finally starting
to show itself here in W.
Michigan, but with little
affect on the resident trout
and steelhead inhabiting the
Muskegon river. Water temps
remain closer to 40 than 30
and flows remain above
average, which is very odd
for this time of year.
Trout fishing with small
nymphs such as midge larva,
stones, olive and natural
hare's ear, scuds and soft
hackles are producing plump
rainbow and brown trout.
Steelhead are still willing
to chase a correctly "swung"
fly, as well as being caught
on a combination of nymph
and egg patterns. Nothing
too unusual, small bright
caddis, sparrows, small
hexes, stones and hare's ear
are all getting attention.
Contact me for further
information.
