Muskegon River Fly Fishing Guided Muskegon River Fly Fishing  Guided Summer Trout and Smallmouth Bass Trips on West Michigan's Muskegon River    We fly fish for resident rainbow and brown trout on West Michigan's Muskegon river using various fly fishing techniques - dry fly fishing, streamer fishing and nymph fishing. Streamer fishing with sinking/sink tip lines can produce some of the largest trout of the year......2 foot trout are caught every year on streamers. Hatches are fantastic from late May through early July and bring big rainbow and brown trout to the surface for great dry fly fishing. When between big hatches, nymph fishing for resident rainbow and brown trout can produce big numbers of fish ! Evening/night fishing with waking flies or light sinking streamers produces vicious strikes by both trout and smallmouth bass.

The "day" starts at a previously scheduled time that's often dictated by the time of year and quarry of choice.  Typically, this is early morning during spring steelhead and fall salmon "runs", mid-morning for streamer fishing and mid-to-late afternoon for dry fly fishing. Fly casting instruction is followed by taking your preferred technique(s) to the water.  Either by wade fishing or casting from the boat, we pursue trout, salmon, steelhead or a combination of fish, including warmwater species such as smallmouth bass and carp. We break for a grilled, streamside meal mid-way through our day on the river, dine in mother natures living room ! Learn a little about "bugs" AND what they mean to you while fishing in a river.  Strengthen your casting stroke,  become a better streamer fisherman.   Improve your roll cast, get your dry fly where you couldn't before.  Learn a "reach cast" and get to those rising trout 40 feeet away, or learn how to spey cast and swing streamers to large trout or steelhead.    The day is "yours" and it can be tailored to exactly what you're looking for in a guided fly fishing trip.
