I did a day scout trip to check out two points on the Muskegon River (Newaygo & Croton Dam). It was the first time I was in Michigan with a fishing rod. I left the house later than I planned so it was already nearly 3pm when I arrived. With the nice weather, there were a few people out fishing but it was not crowded or anything. As I stood there in the water, I understood a little more why people (especially fisherman) loves Michigan so much. I only fished for a couple of hours and was fishing random spots. I didn’t hook up with a steelhead as I hoped, but I did hook up with a small but beautiful rainbow and that was more than I can ask for on a day like this. I guess hoping for a steelhead first time out, on unfamiliar waters, and in couple of hours was a long shot anyways.
I am set on Michigan this year, I can feel that I will love it.
Nice!! You might have a better luck today with the Steelhead.
ReplyDeleteMichigan was really nice, I'll scope out some good spots we can go together.
ReplyDeletegood job. the thing you prolly realized about that river is having a jet sled is tantamount to covering ground. Try and go out with Phil Cusey when you get a chance he's a really nice guy.
ReplyDeletethis is the correct Phil right?

ReplyDeleteJim! I am wandering the rivers & creeks of your home ground, trying to remember the advice you gave about Michigan waters, long time ago in your Libertyville office. It’s not right that we haven’t had a beer in years Jim. Don’t forget, you are the one who got me hooked into this mess called fly fishing.
