Go to the West Michigan Fishing Report to see what’s happening on our other area streams… The steelhead are in full swing… and so are the trout!, updated on April 11, 2010.

Fishing remains ok on the Pere Marquette River but when you add in reduced fishing pressure and this great weather it makes everything feel good.  I found enough hot and eager steelhead yesterday to make a perfect day on the water.  It didn’t seem to matter what we threw at them, we got action on crystal eggs, nuke eggs and a new pattern I tied up the day before (pictured below).

With the help of Indigo’s newest guide Matt Dunn we have launched a new site that will be covering Great Lakes fly fishing…. Third Coast Fly.
