WE are slowly turning the corner from winter Steelhead to Spring Steelhead
fishing. Michigan rivers are very low and clear and cold. We have had a few
hours of thawing and run off each day last week. Its got to get warmer and
rain will help. I have been fishing very light tipit. And getting a few Steelhead
to the net. Some Steelhead have hit Spawning beds

The Grand river continues to Produce Steelhead.

Early March with the sunny blue bird days and clear water conditions. The Steelhead and
Trout fishing is doing very well.

Fished 5 Days this last week and only 4 hours a day and have been Bring two to four
Steelhead to the boat. Mixed it up a little on Thursday and did some Trout fishing on the
Muskegon river. We found that the Brown trout and rainbow Trout were willing to take
Midges.

I got a little over zealous on Saturday in the high sun and a flo-tella on the river. I have #
guys that wanted to get some Walleye. Well there a lot of Walleye in the river. Both rod on
the second cast of the day, each fish on! We lost both those fish, and that was that for the
day. Dang
Well back to Steelhead Monday oh Yeah

Brown trout and Steelhead are in the mix of Trout fishing on The Manistee
river is very good.
