Muskegon River smallmouth bass fishing was a little odd today in my boat. The river seemed to be void of fish in some areas while others were jammed up with fish. I haven’t really seen it quite like this over the last several trips. Obviously...
Bill & Lisa-Marie joined me this morning for a quick half day smallmouth bass trip. Water conditions are back to normal and the smallmouth bass thankfully continue to be willing! Boogle bugs continue to be the ticket…..👍 ~Steve ...
The Muskegon River is on the rise and heavily silted from the numerous rounds of thunderstorms this week. Despite these tough dirty-water conditions Kris found success with her top-water poppers. Conditions will likely be challenging for the next several days before the river settles down...
Summer Smallmouth bass fishing has been “hot” this week. I can honestly say it might be some of the best top-water fly fishing for bass I’ve personally witnessed in a very long time! Boogle bugs are my jam! Experiment color to suit the interest day-to-day, but...

Longtime customers and friends, Pat and Terry, and I enjoyed a simply wonderful day on the Muskegon River yesterday. No, the smallmouth weren't as eager to play as they were the day before when RiverQuest Captain Don Graham joined me in my boat after a...
The Muskegon River continued to fish very well this week for smallmouth bass. No matter which section we fished it produced about the same–topwater poppers in the morning and streamers in the afternoon. The only exception was today where we had enough cloud cover to...
Smallmouth bass fishing on the Muskegon River is very good right now. Thankfully this warm summer weather favors these fun river fish. Bill and his son Patrick joined me for what may be one of the best, if not the best day day of top-water...
Kristine has been itching to get back on the river for some top-water smallmouth bass fishing but the oppressive heat kept us hopeful for a nicer day. Thankfully we found a nice window to hit the river and Kristine was rewarded with some good opportunities...
