Nothing like a September steelhead on the swing to brighten ones day! Our salmon have arrived in earnest and with them some special early chrome. The river is low and very clear, please be considerate to fellow anglers and property owners as you negotiate the...
As one western Michigan fly fishing season wanes, another seizes center stage. So it was as Darryl and Pete joined me for a lower Muskegon River bass float earlier this week—a trip that took us mile after delightful mile down the river as the guys...
