Different days, different conditions

Fall weather finally made a return the past couple of days filling the watersheds with much needed cold rain. Both the Manistee and the Muskegon took big jumps in flow surely providing that magic carpet ride needed for the migrating salmon.

Joining me Friday was longtime guests Bill and Ida Sidor and Monday Ken Longstreet and John from H.M. Fishing Friday was beautiful as sunny skies provided a superb back drop for the day on the water. Conversely Monday was a soak-er with big rain and wind. While both parties enjoyed many opportunities with the salmon their trips were entirely opposite.

The current weather as stated above has brought the Muskegon River the best water flows that we have seen in the last 3+ years; this is very exciting as we come home to fish enjoy the our home-waters!
