Michigan Steelhead (Day 2)

[fishhead2500]

Fished the Muskegon again today. Weather was not as nice to us, but still fishable. Fishing was a bit slower today though I still managed a couple steelies. The walleye seemed to like the flies also.

Looks like you had a couple of pretty good days there. That's a fat Walleye too. Thanks for the report and pics.

That's a funky looking steelie in the last pick. Good lookin fish.

Are you using that spey rod in the boat or is it the guides?

Good eye, Scott. It's the guide's, but I did take a few casts on it. We needed heavier grain fly line to get down to the fish though. It was my first time with a spey rod. The water level has come up on the river, so we needed a lot of weight to get the flies down.

I just bought my first spey rod from a guy in Idaho. We have been having way too much rain here in TN to fish, but I am excited to get after it.

Spey casting looks like a lot of fun.

Keep the pictures coming. Those are all nice fish, I think the 'eye would have come home with me though.

Very nice! That 'eye is huge!

[fishhead2500]

It was almost all the walleye you wanted. they're on the spawn, so the option isn't there to take.

I learned to fly fish on the "50 mile riffle". How is it fishing these days?

[montanaman]

Hey, Doug...not much has changed, still fishin' pretty well. A few more people in the past couple of decades, but as you know there is a lot of water here and surrounding states for all. Let me know if you come up this way.
