Grand River Fishing Reports

Time To Play The Game

April 29, 2025

It's game time on the warmwater side. With water temps consistently in the upper 50's to low 60's, depending on the day, pike and smallmouth are in full gear. Everything is in play. From leech patterns to leggy bois, these fish are chasing and the eats are visual.

Our gear right now is a Sage 7wt Foundation, paired with a Spectrum 7/8 reel. Lines are either SA I/2/3 or Rio's F/H/I or F/H/S3. We're building our own leader using Seaguar Fluorocarbon down to 12#.

The Grand has come down nicely and is in great shape, we'll see what Thursday holds which, as of this report, we are projected to get an inch of rain along the I-96 corridor.

If you want to know the latest river conditions or what's working on the river, give the shop a call or swing on by. We're the only shop in West Michigan that has a full time guide staff that can give you the latest reports to help you be successful on the river.

My 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.
