Non-stop bites all day long! That's how I'd sum up our summer fishing adventure on the river near Stanwood, MI with On Target Fishing Guide Service. The day started with some morning rain, but it cleared up nicely in the afternoon, giving us perfect conditions to chase some smallmouth bass. Brent joined me for this 4-hour morning trip, and we set out at the crack of dawn, hitting the water at 7:00 am sharp. The river was in great shape, and I had a feeling we were in for some solid action with On Target Fishing Guide Service. With our gear rigged and ready, we wasted no time getting down to business. I showed Brent some of my favorite techniques for targeting smallmouth in these parts - drift fishing, bottom bouncing, and live bait rigging. These methods are killer for enticing those big river smallies, and it wasn't long before we started getting some serious hits. The highlight of our day was when Brent hooked into a monster 21-inch smallmouth bass. That fish put up one heck of a fight, but Brent played it perfectly, and we got it in the boat for a quick photo before releasing it back to fight another day. We wrapped up the trip with great catches and smiles all around!

Brown trout fishing across Michigan’s rivers has been solid this week, especially during early mornings and late evenings. Anglers are finding success with dry flies and small streamers, particularly in shaded stretches with cooler water temps. The trout are feeding actively in pockets and under structure, with a noticeable uptick after light rain events. Current river conditions are ideal—moderate flow, clear visibility, and just the right mix of insect hatches to keep things moving. Terrestrials like ants and beetles have also been productive in the afternoons. Look to rivers like the Pere Marquette, Au Sable, and Manistee for consistent opportunities. Fish tight to cover, keep your presentation subtle, and you’re likely to connect with some quality browns. Be sure to handle fish gently and release quickly to protect the fishery during summer heat.

The star of the show was undoubtedly the magnificent Rainbow Trout. A great day of Muskegon River Fishing and did some trout fishing where I was able to catch some! Excited for more!

Since the beginning, making memories has been our passion. I'm looking forward to talking with you about booking a trip this winter. Book a charter with us for a Michigan Fly Fishing experience!
