Salmon fishing remains very good on the Muskegon river near Newaygo. But then again so is the Steelhead fishing! Steelhead are also fishing well in Grand Rapids on the Grand River. Egg paterens and nymphs are producing along with Spawn Side drifting, back trolling or under a bobber.

Summer fishing 2010

Seems I've been quite lax ed in my reports, busy with summer I guess. Between the rain and wind getting our April showers in June. The rain been keeping some of the river very cloudy and washing plenty of food for the fish in the rivers.

The river are clearing now a week NOW with out rain. I have been fishing Summer Steelhead on the St. Joe A few Skamania around and you have to have some time is needed to get them.


Small mouth fishing has been very good to Ok just depends on the river right now. Bug hatches have been very good the evenings have of course the best. Lots of Trout and again you have to put your time in to get the big ones.

Off to the river now www.riverratdog.com 517 651 2616

still Steel

Been awhile since my last post. Hope it rains this weekend. Yes there are Steelhead to fish, the crowds on the river are thinning. The run has been smaller this year but very fish-able. This maybe the future on Michigan Steelhead fishing. And that's OK.

The evenings have been cold to the river temps are good some rain would help we have not been blown out this year and we always get blown out. lots of good Steelhead fishing to come yet,
Big Trout have been rising and this weekends opener should be good.

Walleye opens this weekend also So Trout and Walleye festival will abound this weekend. The Walleye have been fishing Well also.
