Signs Of Fall

Fall is a great time of year for viewing wildlife along the river. As the leaves thin out much of forest that has been hidden behind a vail of green is exposed. Many animals can be seen venturing down to the rivers edge to find food and water. Today as I fished I witnessed an animal seeking the river for another reason. This doe came crashing into the water twenty yards from me in an effort to escape two bucks in there relentless pursuit. I watched this amazing chase for over ten minutes. The doe was apparently using the water as her only protection. The exhausted deer swam back and forth across the river in an effort to escape until she didn’t have the strength to swim anymore. Eventually the three deer crashed off out of sight and the river was calm like nothing had ever happened.

Eagle Overhead

This eagle was soaring over us as we fished for steelhead today.

When I first started fishing the Muskegon River as a teenager, it was very rare to see an eagle anywhere. After a remarkable recovery, they are now a common sight. On the Muskegon, it is common to see a few each day. During the winter months, they can be even more abundant and their numbers continue to grow.

They are frequently seen scavenging on salmon and other dead fish along the river banks. On particularly cold winters, I have seen them feeding on ducks.

No matter how many times you see them, they are still a majestic and awe inspiring bird.

This is just a fun image from the river; fall is a great time to see a Michigan river and the wildlife that make it their home. These turtles were taking in some rays on a warm fall day.

An Awesome Trout in Spawing Colors

Drew caught this gorgeous hulking trout today while poking around for steelhead. Trout fishing around the beds can produce great things!
