The Willets were back for their annual family spring steelhead outing. Conditions certainly were different than past years with our late arrival of Spring. However, the Willets never seem to care–family & fishing no-matter the conditions! I must say, their motto is pretty cool. Having...
How refreshing it is to see youngsters on the river with their parents. While John is no stranger to the MO, Megan only makes a few “flashy” special appearances a year. She always brings a smile and an attitude ready to fish. It’s always great...
Early summer weather continues to provide an outstanding back-drop to steelhead fishing on the Mo'. Most of you know that I love nothing more than to be on the river in shorts and sandals! The unpredicted rise in water flow yesterday ran its coarse and...
Certainly felt like we skipped spring and went straight to summer today with temperatures hitting the mid 80's this afternoon on the Muskegon River. Guest and friend Bill Smith joined me for some two-handed Spey fishing today. River conditions this morning were running high and...

Fishing today wasn't quite up to yesterday's standards, however that didn't stop 11-year-old Mason from showing his dad how to catch steelhead. As a father, it's always my privilege to share in those special father-son experiences on the river--today was no exception. Congratulations on...
Ah, to be back on our home-waters–words can't express! The fish seemed to miss us too. River conditions are high and dirty–as long as you have a plan, it will definately treat you right. River conditions are forecasted to slowly fall through the weekend, but...
Great finish to a great couple of days with the Patric O'Came group. No matter the conditions, no matter the weather, this group year-to-year dishes up a great time on the water and this year was no exception. Since we featured some shots of the...
Well, The waters on the Muskegon have crested and are on their way back down. As we wait for the river to fall to a fishable level, road-trip'n beats the alternative. Pictured are a couple from Dave and I today. Capt. Steven Kuieck ...
