Michigan Steelhead

[fishhead2500]

I fished the Muskegon River in Michigan today for some nice steelhead. Heavy rain has stained and raised the river, but the fish are still biting. These are from today, and I'll post more tomorrow if all goes well. Tight Lines!

Nice hens.

What flies?

Is that a two hander in the boat with you? What kind?

Scrubs

Bright egg patterns (clown eggs) and that first one ate a Salmon fry imitation. They were all bright chromer hens fresh in the river from Lake Michigan but others hooked into some darker males today also. I'll be hitting it hard tomorrow but it doesn't look like the weather will be cooperating. Oh well, typical steelhead fishing

Sweet fish! Me and my Dad fished the lower platte and the Pentwater this year, I took a pair of skippers the first day but the rest of the time my line kept freezing to my guides.
