Chinook Salmon

Muskegon River Fishing Report

Salmon are known to be slow in the rivers during their migration, but that doesn't mean they aren't worth catching. In fact, these fish can reach an average weight of 20 pounds or more! Muskegon river fishing has recently shown great catches of these beautiful species, making it a prime location for salmon fishing guides! Make sure to book a fishing trip with me if you're planning on going salmon fishing in Muskegon River. Check out my availability while good dates are still open!

Rainbow Trout

Rainbow Trout in Pere Marquette River

Today, Zach George of Reel Down Outfitters was able to catch some rainbow trout in the Pere Marquette River. He said that he loves catching trout because it's a challenge. You have to bait your hook and cast it into the water, and then you have to wait for a fish to take the bait and pull it out of the water before you reel them in.

It was a beautiful day for fishing, and Zach was able to enjoy a great meal with his friends.

Brown Trout

Pere Marquette River Fishing Report

Getting some nice browns recently. I have a few steelhead dates available. Starting to book trout trips for the sucker spawn on the Muskegon.
