Grand River Fishing Reports

Stable Weather Pattern
July 10, 2026
We finally have a stable weather pattern and that has kicked the smallmouth into overdrive on the Grand. We're fishing topwater, along and over weedlines, dead drifting poppers and terrestrials. Best popper colors have been black and blue and the best terrestrials have been Maddin's Scorpion in black and blue colors as well.
We've been having some success on baitfish patterns, such as CJ's Party Crasher and The EP Fiber Minnow by our local tier, Fulltrouser Flies. These flies are neutrally buoyant and fish well along the weedlines paired with Rio's Warmwater Predator Float/Hover/Intermediate line.
If you want the latest on what's happening on the Grand, it's tributaries or the Muskegon, give the shop a call.

ReadMy wife and I had a great time on our guided fly fishing tour with Tom at Werkman Outfitters. Tom was super nice and very patient with my wife while teaching her fly casting and fishing techniques. If I return to Michigan again for fly fishing I will definitely book another guide with Tom. Absolutely 5 stars.
