Fished the Saginaw Bay with friends and their boat. We did get a few Walleye before the boat motor stared to act up and forced us in.





We fished the Bay on Thursday and is was a calm day on the bay. I could not believe how many boats were out for a Thursday. We fished body baits and Spoons, many boats were fishing live bait.





We did manage a few Walleye





Friday I fished small mouth bass with John T. a beginning fly fisher. John did a fine job of casting getting the fly out to structure. We did manage a few fish I was disappointed in are return of fish.



The section of the Grand River we fished would normally yield 30 fish of more. We had not received any rain in 10 days yet the river clarity was low, I would have to attribute this to open farm fields.



Saturday and Sunday I was on the Muskegon river with Jim and Tom. Lots on hatches on the Muskegon. Gray Drakes. Sulfurs, Caddis and midges were all in the mix and lots of trout on the rise.

Jim And Tom were also first time fly fishing and two days of fishing and casting instructions paid off. Both casted much better Sunday and that was nice for me to see. We fished wet and dry flies, both brought fish to the net.
