Tackling the Muskegon

Captain Nate knows this river like the back of his hand, and he's got all the top-notch gear you need to land some serious fish. Depending on the season and conditions, you might be drift fishing with live bait, tossing crankbaits along the banks, or even fly fishing in some of the river's prime spots. The Muskegon's got a mix of deep runs, gravel bars, and woody structure that make it a fish magnet. You'll learn how to read the water and present your bait or lure just right to entice those big bites.

Species You'll Want to Hook

The Muskegon River is home to a killer lineup of game fish that'll keep your rod bent all day long. In the spring and fall, you've got a shot at hooking into some monster steelhead - these chrome rockets will test your skills and your tackle. During the warmer months, the river's legendary brown trout come out to play. These wise old fish are a challenge to fool, but man, is it worth it when you net one of those butter-bellied beauties. And let's not forget about the smallmouth bass - pound for pound, these bronzebacks fight harder than just about anything in the river. If you're lucky, you might even tangle with a hefty northern pike or the occasional walleye.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing the Muskegon that keeps folks coming back year after year. Maybe it's the way the mist rises off the water in the early morning, or the sight of a bald eagle soaring overhead. Could be the heart-stopping moment when a big brown trout slams your lure, or the satisfaction of releasing a wild steelhead back into the current. Whatever it is, this river has a way of getting under your skin.
