Gorgeous day on the river: sunshine, clear water, happy steelhead, and, again, some surprisingly fresh salmon, one of which, a male, which Jim is holding, barely had begun to grow his spawning chompers. Jim and Ron learned first-hand how tough it can be to put...
A little slow getting the post up from yesterday. After a long stretch of days on the river it was nice to just take a bit of time to chill with the family. Joe & Cole joined me for a beautiful fall day for some...
After a crisp start today on the Muskegon, it warmed up very nice for a pleasant afternoon. The steelhead that Dr. Eastway hooked put on a great aerial show, and then said good by. The salmon were a little more cooperative, except for one that...
First time steelhead chasers, Jim and Christine, have been bitten by our love for chrome. While the day was certainly filled with ups and downs, the memories of battles lost and eventually won will echo long into the coming winter for Jim and Christine. Welcome...

If the fishing today mirrored the weather conditions, things would have been much different. But alas, as lungs expelled thick clouds of smoke and icy water fell from the sky, Brian found his happy place. Clouds rolled back, blue skies rolled in, and...
Certainly it wasn't nearly as pleasant on the river today! The forecasted low-pressure system not only made for a raw day, but made the steelhead bite a bit more fickle. Dave and Lenny kept after the bite and through their efforts were rewarded with some...
