Bass are in their summer mode. Here’s the latest from the frontlines on the Grand River

It seems like within a matter of days the smallmouth have gone from the pre-spawn to the spawn and now on to the post spawn.  Here’s the latest from the lines of the Grand River and it’s tributaries.  

The pre-spawn remains strong.  We have fully transitioned from steelhead to smallmouth bass and we are seeing some on the best action of the year so far.

With rain and warmer temps in sight, the spring run will start to pick up on the Grand River and other area rivers.  Here’s the latest from the frontlines. 

We have now reached the middle of winter and the rivers are cold. Every now and then Mother Nature opens windows where we can fish.

The last few weeks we have had pretty optimal fishing conditions. Good amounts of fresh chrome steelhead are in the system from rain we had a few weeks prior.  Here’s the latest from the frontlines.

Fishing has slowly been improving since the beginning of November. Rain has worked its way up and down West Michigan and this is what is bringing fresh groups of steelhead into our river systems.

Right now, on the rivers we fish, they are either too high and dirty or too low and clear.  All of this makes steelhead fishing challenging.  With that said, here’s the latest from the frontlines.
