Introducing the Muskegon River–Wide and Beautiful, the Muskegon is a great resource!<\/i><\/p><\/div>\n

Introducing the Muskegon River<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0: \u00a0Our home river is big and beautiful. \u00a0 It flows for over two hundred miles through north-central Michigan. \u00a0This takes it from Houghton Lake all the way to the port of Muskegon. \u00a0 Along the way, it collects several tributaries and then finds its way to three hydroelectric dams. \u00a0 Below the final dam, Croton Dam, \u00a0the river is often over 150 feet wide. \u00a0It is in this tailwater stretch that the cool water fishing is at its best due to good food sources. \u00a0 These include brown and rainbow trout in the mainstream. \u00a0 \u00a0This area also provides access to spawning gravel for migratory fish.<\/p>\n

These lake run fish come in several forms. \u00a0 Migratory fish like steelhead, salmon, and lake run brown trout enter the river in September and provide sport during the fall, winter, and spring months. It is not uncommon to have good steelhead fishing from early October well into the month of May. \u00a0 These fish are the backbone of our fishery, and are a favorite of guides and clients alike. \u00a0 We focus on fly fishing, but they can be taken on many different methods in this great river.<\/p>\n

Warmwater fish such as smallmouth bass and northern pike abound through the slower stretches and impoundments. \u00a0 \u00a0As if this weren’t enough, the smaller tributaries also hold good opportunities for the adventurous wading angler. \u00a0 \u00a0In short, the Muskegon is a river system that provides good fishing opportunities every day of the year, provided you are willing to fish for what is available.<\/p>\n

In addition to the great fishing, fall colors on the deciduous trees make the fishing even more spectacular. \u00a0 \u00a0Encounters with wildlife also make the river that much more enjoyable. \u00a0 \u00a0 A great organization that helps preserve this river system is the Muskegon River Watershed<\/a> Assembly.<\/p>\n
