While I want to say that fishing continues to be good, it has moved back into more typical winter mode. There continues to be good flow, but the water is gin clear and the temp has dropped into the mid thirties. As we experienced, you can fish for some time with just a little action, only to be awakened by a flurry of hook ups in a short time. Thankfully there are plenty of fish around, you just have to be diligent in your presentation. Both fly fishing and float fishing continue to be productive. Don't be afraid to lighten up on your leader or tippet in order to get bit.
Paul and Micah joined me for an afternoon of steelhead fishing the Muskegon. Father and son,
both are long time friends and Newaygo residents so we had a good time telling stories and catching up. Fishing started off slow as I mentioned earlier, but we ended with a flurry. Paul hadn't float-fished in a while, but didn't take long to remember the program. Micah didn't have much float fishing experience, but he worked at it, and ended up catching our last few fish of the day. Here's a picture of the guys with the one fish I got a picture of before the battery in my camera gave out.
