Captain Don and I were rockin’ today. And, no, the chairs with the funny bottoms weren’t creaking; and no, we didn’t lose count of the bass we landed because our synapses are smoked from what some tell us are our advancing years on the planet. No, the fact is that today Muskegon River fly fishing for bass on top with poppers and sliders and below with streamers was that good. Aggressive smallmouth (and a largemouth, too) gave us a full day’s workout under bluebird skies with low humidity and a gentle breeze. Then, too, why not top it off with soaring hawks and an eagle over a river wholly devoid of fishermen. It was simply one of those days in which all the fish stars aligned, creating one magical memory on the MO for those most energetic and sagacious of River Quest guides—Captain Don and the other guy.
