Michigan's Hottest Winter Steelhead Fishery - Muskegon River Steelhead
Unlike the Grand River, White River, and Pere Marquette Rivers, the Muskegon is a tailwater fishery, this means the Muskegon River never freezes! This allows us to guide anglers throughout the winter months for Steelhead and Trout. Float fishing during the Winter is a beautiful time to be on the water with good numbers of Steelhead and lots of wildlife along the rivers banks. We are also now offering Centerpin instructionals to learn Centerpin float fishing for Steelhead! Fishery - Muskegon River Winter Steelhead!


January and February offer anglers World Class fly fishing opportunities for Muskegon River Steelhead and Trout.
As the leaves begin to turn and the weather begins to cool, our focus turns towards Michigan's Fall run Chinook Salmon, and bright chrome Steelhead. The Pere Marquette and Manistee Rivers receive their first big push of bright Chinook Salmon when Ludington turns over around August 20th. The Muskegon River is not long behind, the Muskegon River has good numbers of Salmon and Steelhead beginning the first part of October. Steelhead last throughout the winter months, well into the spring months of April and May.

~ Michigan Fly Fishing for Muskegon River Steelhead ~
Float fishing with spawn is my preferred guiding method during the winter months. Anglers find it very effective and fun to fish as you get to see the float go down, then explode with a nice chromer at the other end.
Float fishing is available throughout the winter months and is very productive
offering anglers more than one hook-up per hour or more!

  ............~ Western Michigan Fishing Reports ~
  
  During early March we have had great success fly fishing for Spring Steelhead on both the Rogue River near Rockford and the Grand River near Grand Rapids. Scott from Lansing had a very productive day landing many winter Steelhead ranging from 8-12lbs! These Steelies were chrome!
  
  Float fishing on the Manistee River near Tippy Day has also been very productive drifting jigs tipped with waxworms or wigglers under a float producing resident Brown Trout, Coho Salmon, and Steelhead. The Manistee River has a lot to offer anglers during the winter months.
  
  The Pere Marquette River "Flies Only" section has been fishing well for both resident Brown Trout, Rainbow, Steelhead, and Coho or Chinook Salmon. During the Winter months, look for the slow, deeper pools in the PM River to be holding the most active fish.
