I have not made it to the Muskegon River yet but I hear that it is fishing okay. The water temperature is 37 degrees; however, it will not be long before the fall/winter fish will be staging to spawn.

I should be out there next week sometime and I will have an updated report then.
As Fall salmon season gets under way on the Muskegon River, new fishing reports coming soon. Stay tuned!
Spring fishing is still going well on the Muskegon River despite recent weather. The water is high and cold but still has good clarity, which has fishing pretty good right now.
