Longer daylight, warmer water temps, and bright chrome Steelhead ascend west Michigan's Muskegon River. These great fish have wintered
over in the lower Muskegon and are ready to begin their spawning migrations to the upper spawning sections of their natal streams.

Higher water levels during February and March pull these Steelhead up river like a magnet. This is when fly fishing for Steelhead is at it's best!
Our Steelhead guides wait in anticipation as Steelhead prepare to Spawn. The preferred method for Steelhead fishing in Michigan is floats and spawn - where an offering either flies or bait is suspended from a float and drifted along a current seam or drift as anglers like to call it.

Fly Fishing is also another great technique for spawning Spring Steelhead in Michigan Rivers. While fly fishing, an angler drifts their flies along the river bottom. Strike indicators and floating lines also work well at this time. This is the preferred method for Michigan Guides for Steelhead this time of year. During the Stone fly emergence of March and April, Stone flies are the primary source of food for Steelhead. Flies patterns such as the Steelhead bugger, Dark Knight, Egg Sucking Stones are deadly this time of year!

We hope that you enjoy the same amount of enthusiasm and excitement for Spring Steelhead on the Muskegon River as we do!
