These cooler weather patterns continue to create some excellent trout fishing. Cinnamon and green caddis patterns remain our top producers, both floated on the surface and swung with a dead drift. Look for the caddis hatch and trout fishing in general to improve as we get closer to September and water temps begin to cool.… Continue Reading
With this cool weather pattern past few days, the caddis hatch is coming back alive. Had a great outing last night by keying fast oxygenated water around rock points. Many trout hooked including these three hogs! Great evening of trout fishing on the Muskegon river in Michigan! We’re still running the 5:30 to dark special… Continue Reading

Unfortunately, we lost a couple huge fish at the… Continue Reading
