Just Perfect!

Some days, it all simply comes together, and so I was for Don, fellow RiverQuest guide and my  personal fishing buddy, and me as we chased smallmouth bass on the Muskegon River today. A light breeze, plenty of sunshine, 80’s temps, solitude, and hungry, aggressive smallies; that’s what prompted smiles and high fives in all day long. Truly, few trips prove better.  We love it when smallies bust poppers on top, as they did; but it’s exciting, too, when they flash from cover to smack a stripped streamer, as they also did. Don fished a 6 wt.rod and I an 8 wt., and both of us fought smallmouth that gave us all we could handle. Their power and stamina are truly remarkable. All in all, if Don and I were younger and certainly more handsome, today would have been a great “Pure Michigan” promo; it was just perfect.
