Turned out to be a pretty nice day on the MO today. Had great company and the fish were in a fairly cooperative mood as well. David and David caught fish on small stones and glo-bugs. Still seeing bright fish coming...
What an April we are experiencing (or should I say, enduring?)! Temps in the 30's, high water, blustery winds, snow, sleet, rain—you name it, we had it again today. Fortunately, Don and I hit the landing before the worst of it descended on us. Our...
Off color water slowly gave way to better visibility by afternoon today. Joining Jay and I were group from Action Fab. of Grand Rapids. John, Brian, and Lenny kept things hopping and posed several nice fish for me and the camera. Chart. steelhead candy and...

Captain Dave and I hosted the Bowen group on this extremely blustery day. Sustained winds of 25mph with gusts to 40mph made for some interesting line management! No matter the attendees on Dan's trips--the guys are always a lot of fun. I had Jim, Jim,...
A chilly day was in-store for us today on the Muskegon River. Joining me was first-timer Dr. Talal and semi-seasoned Dr. Nykamp. Water conditions are near perfect with only a slight stain and a moderate flow. Small stone flies, green caddis, pale eggs, and the...
Fabulous time on the water today with Jeff and his guest, Bill. The weather was travel bureau perfect, the steelhead willing, and the companionship top-notch. A lover of the outdoors, Bill was new to the entire steelhead with a fly rod scene, but he very...
Great day on the water shared with a couple of great guys-Chris and Scott. After a chilly start to the day the beautiful spring sunshine led the way to a most comfortable day on the river. Both Chris and Scott log many hours on the...
