Salmon are known to be slow in the rivers during their migration, but that doesn't mean they aren't worth catching. In fact, these fish can reach an average weight of 20 pounds or more! Muskegon river fishing has recently shown great catches of these beautiful species, making it a prime location for salmon fishing guides! Make sure to book a fishing trip with me if you're planning on going salmon fishing in Muskegon River. Check out my availability while good dates are still open!
Today, Zach George of Reel Down Outfitters was able to catch some rainbow trout in the Pere Marquette River. He said that he loves catching trout because it's a challenge. You have to bait your hook and cast it into the water, and then you have to wait for a fish to take the bait and pull it out of the water before you reel them in. It was a beautiful day for fishing, and Zach was able to enjoy a great meal with his friends.
Getting some nice browns recently. I have a few steelhead dates available. Starting to book trout trips for the sucker spawn on the Muskegon.

Zach was fantastic—super communicative, punctual, and had everything ready to go. He even helped me set up my fly rod and gave my girlfriend and me valuable guidance on techniques, flies, and ideal locations. He’s incredibly knowledgeable yet patient, making him great for those new to fishing. The boat had plenty of space for both of us to fly fish comfortably. Highly recommend!

This fishing trip was a blast! Zach was incredibly patient with me as I got used to the setup—this was my first time fishing like this, and my casts weren’t great at first, but he helped me improve quickly. I enjoyed fishing with Zach because he’s not only knowledgeable and clear in his instructions but also friendly and fun to talk to. He made sure I felt comfortable the entire time, and I ended up catching so many steelheads that my arm was sore for two days! I highly recommend booking Reel Down Outfitters for an amazing fishing experience. Thanks, Zach!
