Trout fishing is now the full-time game on the Muskegon River. While a few new and old steelhead remain, the river is prime for trout. Hatches are rolling but have taken a little pause in the cool rain today. Bwo’s, cinn caddis, and a few sulfers are day-to-day normal through the sections around the lodge. Streamer fishing is very good; chinook smolts are more prevalent than in years past.
With an inch of rain fall today, and some much needed color, streamer fishing over the coming days will be excellent! Bunker TA’s, Trick or Treats, Articulated Zoo Cougars, and Ditch pigs will give the fly anglers a shot at that really special trout in the bigger water. Pictured below is a very nice rainbow that ate a Trick or Treat Monday in the bright sunshine.
