Caddis continue to impress. Hold-over trout continue to be very very discerning on which bug they eat. Multiple pattern changes and some good clean luck goes along way! Pictured is pretty bow from last evening caught by Paul from Cincinnati. Capt. Steven Kuieck ...
Super hot and super caddis! Caddis hatches on the Mo' have been excellent despite near record temperatures that are forecasted to continue through today. Floating pupa early followed by cut-wings, and then spent wing caddis have kept the action strong. As the caddis activity peaks...
Fat and sassy bows and browns continue to be eager to bend the fly rod. Swung Iso nymphs and soft hackles in the choppy water creates a "catch-a-thon" most afternoons. Keep in mind however, most of these fish are stockers, but some very nice fish...

father and son having a great time! Frank w/ a nice brown caught on a superfine 3 wt...
Cool comfortable weather is with us for a few days and is providing a perfect back-drop for evening dry fly fishing. Up stream nearer to Croton caddis hatches of ol' time proportions are providing constant target rises. While the majority of the fish are small,...
Sunny, bright, and warm would sum up the conditions today. Tom, Scott, and Adam joined me for a day of nymphing. With all the big fish opportunities of late the guys were pretty fired up. Today certainly tested both the guys will and the patience...
Shift change--after the past weeks day trips it was a pleasure to spend last evening on the river with Doug and Phil, though it certainly made for a short night since I'm back on the day shift this morning. Sulphers, caddis, and drakes were on...
It sure was a cooker on the river yesterday! Even with day-time temperatures nearing 90 degrees the Muskegon River continued to exceed expectations and produce some fabulous river trout. Nymphing and streamers are both productive on day trips. Evening hatches have been productive if you...
The last two posts pretty much sum up the fishing right now on the Mo'--pretty awesome! Pictured is an magnificent brown that I was fortunate enough to pose this morning. Capt. Steven Kuieck...
