While the drakes & trout weren’t cooperative this morning, our pitbulls of the river were all business. Summer smallmouth bass kept us busy throughout the day. In fact, both Jerry & Bruce lost count by mid afternoon! Drakes & Iso’s are keeping the trout looking up...
Last nights strong storms made for some terrific morning dry fly fishing today on the Muskegon. While we had some shots at some really “good” fish, we were more than happy with some solid trout. Drakes & sulphers were abundant and cripples kept the trout...
Lots of effort went into Mike’s photo opt (pictured above) today. We set up on this brown trout three separate times and just when I was packing my bags to call it a day Mike hooked it on his very last drift! I couldn’t have...
