RiverQuest guide and best fishing bud, Captain Don Graham, and I love all the various forms of fly fishing RiverQuest offers, whether it be chasing steelhead, salmon, or trout, but man, we agree; it's tough to beat a float trip for smallmouth bass on the...
RiverQuest Captain Don Graham and his buddy Gary pre-fished the Muskegon River today in anticipation of Don's guiding our Muskegon River Lodge guests tomorrow. As the photos attest, the smallmouth bass wanted to play and better yet, play with poppers on top—our favorite way to...
Husband and wife Jim and Mary are long time friends and customers, and every time we get together, whether on the river or not, we have a terrific time. Fresh off fishing Clousers on the Kalamazoo River with great success yesterday, Jim and Mary were...
Today, RiverQuest guide, Captain Don Graham, hosted Phillip and his grandfather Dan for some top water, smallmouth bass fly rodding action. And action, indeed, they had! Phillip, who had recently bought a fly rod outfit, boated his first smallmouth taken with a fly rod, and...

Sunshine, high 70's temps, two dear friends, and willing and eager steelhead combined for a terrific day of Steelhead fly fishing today on Michigan's Muskegon River. Former education colleague Dr. Bob Oster and bamboo rod maker Ron Barch are best buds, and I love Steelhead...
