Awesome last week at the Gray Drake!...some beasts of Steel !

Was an awesome last 9 days with my boys from Indianapolis, Lansing, Traverse City, New York City and Chicago. The steelhead so far this March have been some massive beasts - probably the biggest I've seen in 9 years like the Chinooks last fall... Plus the river has plenty of fat plump browns and rainbows. Going to be an outstanding spring!...enjoy this weeks pics!

It's starting!

Despite the up-and-down weather , it's looking real good. The weak fall run due to Arctic weather is going to really pay-off this spring with larger well-fed steelhead starting to mount the spring run. Valentines day is the "flip the switch" time.
We still have a few slots available for our Muskegon three month long steelhead run (March-April-May) . Our river has the longest run of spring steelhead due to a perfect combination of reservoir/groundwater influences which gives us steelhead all the way to Memorial Day ( it was one of the truly remarkable things I had to fathom when I started here. Other states /lakes like Erie/Ontario etc. get a very short window)

Any day now!- the sac fry hatch begins!

As the photo-period of day light gets longer, the signal for new life is on! Chinook/Coho /Atlantic salmon and brown /brook trout fry will hatch and it will be 'game on" for matching the sac fry  hatch!....salmonid cannibalism at its finest! Steelhead and big leviathan browns love to crush sac fry and get fat and sassy after a long winter's dormant spell...enjoy this cool YOU TUBE video on brown trout gluttony and cannibalism

Time to "flip the switch"

Valentine's week is the official "flip the switch" time for the start of the spring steelhead run!- time to start steelhead dreaming! Days are getting longer, pineal gland photo period light detection kicks in and sends the signal to the reproductive hormonal drive as it starts in full mode- the doldrums of winter dormancy is now officially over! Plus the very mild winter we have had and excellent flows signals 'all systems go!" ( keep in mind our fall run was non-existent due to our deep arctic winter taking place in November/December...gonna be one hell of a spring run with very fat and well fed fish that stayed out in the lake chowing down on bait rather than get slinked down in the river

Nexus Tour-2020/2021-Come Join Us!- also great year to come at the Gray Drake Lodge!

Look for our new web site for more details...email me at matt@graydrake.com to be on our mailing list.
See you at the Gray Drake this year for what should be an excellent spring run of steelhead ( the arctic weather cancelled our fall run 2019), ...thus promising a massive spring run by historical standards) ...Also the river is teeming with very large browns and fat rainbows due to our new Type III trophy brown trout regs, so the gray drake and other spring hatches should offer amazing dry fly and swinging articulated/soft hackle wet action...and of course throwing big meaty streamers for leviathan  brown" truttasaurus"...plus summer steelhead, massive wild king salmon pool swinging in the fall, and Atlantic salmon at Torch/Elk Lake systems...not to mention all the little spring creek action around us- a true plethora of choices!

See our Facebook posts and blogs for epic images of 2019 and the past!
Cheers!

2020 STEELHEAD RUN PREDICTIONS-LOOKS GOOD!

We are off to a good start amigos!!!..I'm predicting the winter/spring run of Steelhead/2020 will be one of the strongest runs of steelhead we have seen in the past 6 years..My predictions for epic fail or successes in the past 20 years have had a high degree of accuracy, since I base my predictions on biological factoids, not hopeful wishes and steelhead dreaming ( although if you read my Steelhead Dreams , especially the 12 year anniversary edition one that delves into the science, you will be able to make scientific predictions also!
1. We had the MOST dismal/worst fall 2019 steelhead runs in my 25 years of steelhead guiding, which I and my poor clients that had to endure have ever witnessed .This was climate change driven ( as you will see all dismal run roads lead and will point to climate change) We went from one of the largest sized runs of wild Chinook/king salmon Michigan has ever seen since the 70's- many 30 lb salmon were taken this fall, and I was totally blown away by the size and girth of these fish. My client caught on the swing a 21 pound /massive girth chrome steelhead at the end of October, which was one of the largest fall mykiss beasts I've ever witnessed . From a mild and warm fall, we went to total Arctic Ice Age/Polar shield drop lock-down ( single/teen digits Fahrenheit , feet of snow the first week in November, which I have never seen. It was deep winter hell almost two months before winter started- crazy! - and remained all the way until the Christmas warm-up ( total climate reversal in timeline progression!) If you read steelhead dreams and the "window-of run " opportunity, this totally shut down the migration from big lake to river window, when river and lake shore temps dropped 10-20 degrees almost overnight, thus pushing potential migration schools of steelhead and bait fish prey back out into deep water winter holding patterns where the waters are warmer and hold warmth from summer a lot longer- thus dismal fall returns. The only steelhead in the systems were from "on the heels of salmon egg eating" runs from Sept/Oct.
2.Thus the ecosystems are very healthy with a plethora of bait-fish prey which is indicative by the size of the salmon and steelhead we caught in fall.And given charter boat graphs of massive schools of bait fish, and the desire by Wisconsin to increase slamon stocking as a result ( bad idea!!!), the lake ecosystem is very healthy, at least in relative terms when comparing the last 6 years of prey declines. 3. Michigan steelhead run balance is approximately 40 % in fall-60% in spring. I would safely assume LESS THEN 10% of the year class run of 2019/2020 actually ran the rivers.( this was a Great Lakes ecosystem wide problem from Lake Superior to Lake Ontario BTW!- climate change) Remember: migratory salmonids run rivers on 4 main factors: water temperatures, water flows, diurnal sunlight variations and sexual maturity- water temps being the strongest component, which the weather effected.
4, Our water flows and levels have been above average and is an awesome omen for a good strong run and run-off once water temps become acceptable for the start of migration in earnest in early February once diurnal light levels get warmer and sexual maturity starts to tick-tock away at "get your butt upstream now!" as urgency kicks in with longer daylight hours- some of the largest Michigan steelhead are always caught in February and March since egg/sperm production weight is at highest levels 5. A mild winter warm-up/thaw has occurred , which adds to the spring run migration incentive 5. Given fall, the size of spring steelhead will be "massive", since they had three more months of overtime to pig-out on prey in the deep waters, rather than slink-out and conserve energy all winter in the holding pools
Thus👍....mix all these factors into the cocktail mixer, and I predict a very strong run just gathering fuel !...worst is over, good things to come! ( I'll revisit this at end of May and see how I did!)
Cheers and to many Steelhead Dreams in 2020 chrome chasers!- hope I'm right!

BEEN A GREAT FALL OF STEELHEADING SO FAR-ONE MASSIVE BEAST!!- JUST STARTING

                                           ( Master steelheader Chris Desmond from Chicago, with one of two absolute beasts of mint chrome fall steelhead I've seen in 24 years of guiding ( hitting upper teens/20 lbs/38-39 inches, massive girth)
It has been an excellent and early start to our fall steelheading winter Michigan strain steelhead runs of the Muskegon 2019/2020. With the best  high water levels I've seen in decades, and a massive size (20-30 lbers) of spawning wild Chinook salmon fish unleashing a barrage of eggs into the river system, streelhead have been responding to the pheremonal lure of all the egg caviar and are on the poaching hunt for eggs. They are also slamming a well presented intruder on the two handed swing.

The steelhead run starts to peak in November and December on the Muskegon, with a hopeful bunch of large lake-run browns also to follow. That is when swinging flies really gets into its prime element....see you this fall and winter!

    ( Roy from CT yesterday 10/21 with one of the most beautiful female fall steelhead I've seen!, look at those gorgeous colors!)

NOTE: check out my client from last December as the true cover girl on this issue of Fly Fisherman Magazine, with her Muskegon steelhead, the very adorable and talented photographer: Jesssica DeLorenzo from PA, with a beast of a Muskegon December steelhead, also my very concise article on getting to know winter steelhead, called "Icy Steel"

( coming next: Lake-Run Browns and fall Great Lakes Atlantic Salmon!)

Great week in the books with the amazing anglers from Orvis U.K. Scotland- and loads of great rain!

An epic week catching massive King Salmon on the Muskegon, with some nice browns and steelhead from other rivers:P.M./White etc.

Thank you Graeme Ferguson and John Hood from Orvis U.K. -Edinburgh, Scotland, and his band of great fly fishing competition  anglers:Ian, Eddie, Brian, you guys were all great me chaps!

7 inches of rain in 48 hours blew the rivers out by end of the week, but we found the "grand slam" trifecta of Pacific salmon, browns, steelhead in easier to fish rivers that were still at 150 year record highs!!!

Water is down now to perfect levels and bringing in chrome steelhead, more salmon, and lots of lake-run browns

Cheers guys!!!!...you were awesome!!!...see you next year in Scotland and back in Michigan!

Things are getting better and starting to literally heat up!

Just a quick update: After a brutally tough steelhead run so far things are fianlly changing!-THANK GOD!. I have never seen a start to the spring run so slow and dismal in 23 years because of the epic all-time record breaking crazy fall/winter weather that has plumeted river temps for 6 months. The White River north of us just got a massive run of steelhead last two days, and they are now knocking on our door on the Muskegon as we speak as water temps are finally hitting 38 F-that is still low for April but we have had ice cold run-off for three weeks now, So if your outing is just coming up- you are in big luck! The good news is the rest of April, May and even early June will be full of steelhead as each day it only gets better- Black buggers/leeches and more black stones are the colors, Salmon fry have not hatched yet which is really odd - climate change ( which I talk so much about in my NEXUS book is a real game changer now so we better get used to it and learn to adjust and think with science not just with our calendars. Also note the Muskegon from Croton Dam to Lake Michigan is a TYPE III regulation- all brown trout must be 15 inches or larger to be harvested -FYI- that will be a trophy brown trout game changer for sure! ( bait bucket brigaders can still keep 10 inch rainbows for the pan- leave the browns for a trophy fishery eh!- and please release your steelhead. I think 2019 will give the "one and done" steelhead limit a much needed boost , since we were inches close to getting it passed two years ago. Eat suckers or river rainbows- suckers actually aren't bad tasting from cold water ( my dad and I ate them from small trout streams in the spring when I was a kid) sort of like monk fish/ catfish tasting 😋, Panko crust them or bake and put my dijon/dill beurre blanc sauce on them and "delish!"...good luck this spring!

Temps going to 60F this week!- Alleluia!-done with the winter from hell!

After dealing with below zero F temps/ice and snow storms/blizzards and wind gusts up to 60 mph for the past week, it finally changes this week as temps are approaching 60F -AMEN!
Time to get out and enjoy spring steelheading( 80% of the 18/19 run is yet to come), and big browns!
 NOTE: Our great brown trout fishery finally gets the trophy regulations it deserves. Starting April 1 we go to a Type III designation of 15 inches for brown trout from Croton Dam to Lake Michigan. With 100,000 Wild Rose/Gilchrist/Sturgeon River strain browns stocked in the Muskegon 2018 at 6-7 inches/and fingerling, the trophy brown trout fishery will become epic!. 
Also still have a few openings left for this spring's steelheading, but they are going fast!

Valentine's Chrome Home

Ice storms last two days and power outages, then back to arctic air/wind this weekend won't help our cause this week!... But, Valentine's Day is just around the corner and is always the turning point/flip the switch for fresh steelhead from winter to spring.For all those lazy steelhead ( 75% of them) that never ran the rivers last fall beacuse of the arctic switch from a hot fall to brutal winter in November, and caused them to chow down on all those bait fish piles the now dead kings left behind, its "time for mykiss to phone home"- and get back upstream. Their hormones are exploding at this point, their pineal gland clocks picking up those extra minutes of daylight hours, and a full moon coming shortly- all systems go for "chrome home!

2019 here we go!...re-cap of 2018/ what's to come this year, and all the good that happened despite the Weather!

The weather was on a wild ride the entire year of 2018 in Michigan and all over North America and the world. Mild winter, floods in February, cold spring that turned into a heat wave of extreme heat in May. Blistering 90F heat and drought all summer and into October, and then in a day we go from 85F in October to arctic snow and the coldest fall on record. Needless to say the fishing had its challenges. But despite it all, we still had amazing fishing in Michigan's world -class Great Lakes  , rivers, streams and glacial lakes. After traveling through 10 states and all over the country on my new Nexus book tour, despite all the wealth and prosperity I see on the east coast from Boston down to North Carolina on the east coast, and all my east coast friends ask me why I am in Michigan- a state that is still seriously economically challenged? (I'm originally a New Yorker), ... I always say it is because we have the finest  #ground-zero brown trout, brook and rainbow trout, winter and summer steelhead, Pacific and Atlantic salmon utopia in the world, and all in one state!- simple as that! The only other state that this scenario can draw a comparison to is the magnificent New York state.

One great HIGHLIGHT of 2018, was that the heat and drought forced/ nudged me to to venture beyond my big river/tail water drift/ power jet boat guiding world, which is 95% of all Michigan guiding, to explore all the thousands of miles of tiny wild trout streams/spring creeks we have all over the state that we extremely take for granted. I have half-a dozen little spring creeks around the lodge that nobody fishes! They are mostly in Huron/Manistee National Forest property and are loaded with wild browns and brook trout you would love! They run ice-cold all summer long and it was the only place we could keep cool during the day's extreme heat, by wading into them and feeling the ice cold spring-fed 48-56 f water temps. With the tail water and even most rivers running very warm and almost dry ( even Blue Ribbon ones like the Pere Marquette/ Au Sable), I decided to pursue these beautiful wild hidden gems with my clients, and everyone absolutely fell in love with small stream wild trout fishing. Armed with our 2/3 weights , we tossed beetles, ants and hoppers and watched gorgeous and sassy wilds attack our surface offerings with an extreme aggressiveness- it was awesome beyond belief! We filled the Patagonia back packs and Yeti's with sandwiches, salads, beverages and had a wonderful time chasing wilds, foraging for mushrooms and wild edibles, and we became children again like the fishing we used to do when we were younger. This year I'm so looking forward to more of this type of small stream wild trout guiding- here are some images of its beauty!
                         
Here is an image tour of my summer chasing wilds on all the little spring creeks close to the lodge- with great clients and whole families enjoying our Michigan wooded wilds:

( wild browns and brookies with amazing spots and colors)

( this wild had 80+ red spots on one side- original #groundzerobachforellen German brown genetics from 1884 planting in that stream)

(Having the whole family expierience the small wilds is beyond cool-the joys of small stream trout!)

Trout re-cap 2018/2019

Despite the heat, floods and droughts of 18', due to all the springs and dam bubbler operation all summer on the Muskegon, our browns and rainbows held - over well and fed on caddis and midges, along with the crayfish even in the worst heat. The Gray drake hatch was intense and very short due to going from cold to summer heat in the end of May. It was rare to see temps approach 90F during those hatch periods, which they did, thus the fish put on weight fast and then sought out thermal niches and feeding lies. Even blue ribbon free-flowing spring creeks like the Pere Marquette and Au Sable had fishing moratoriums/ heat water temp warnings.

( a May Muskegon Brown caught chomping on sunken gray drake spinners in a typical morning spinner fall- the 6 week long gray drake hatch has both morning and evening spinner falls that can be super intense turning the water to sawdust with spinners- a true epic mayfly ritual that only Michigan rivers produce consistently)

The real "BIG" news for the Muskegon in 18/19 is the trophy brown trout fishery that is developing, thanks to our new biologist Mark Tonello and Jay Westley of the Michigan DNR. Due to the heavy salmon/steelhead run competition during spawning, and tail water fluctuations from all niche perspectives, trout must be stocked on the Muskegon, since natural reproduction comes from wilds in the tributaries and in certain sections of the river. Our retired biologist only stocked 40,000 browns in a 18 mile section of the massive Muskegon, that has one of the richest food supplies of any river on the planet- in fact the Muskegon is almost "too fertile" in some ways. Since the vast depths and scope of the river can harbor a much larger trophy brown trout population, Tonello and staff bumped -up the brown trout stocking from what was the customary 40K that barely made an impact, to doubling it for 2018 and years to come to 80,000 !!!- that will see an amazing population of browns this year and the years to come. In addition, another 20,000  surplus fingerling browns were released in December 2018, thus bringing the total Muskegon brown stockings for 2018 to 100,000- AMAZING!

On top of that, with new 15 inch TYPE III regulations to go into effect from Croton dam down to Lake Michigan ( 35 mile stretch), the Muskegon is poised to become a world class trophy brown trout fishery of amazing proportions, given normal temperatures and flows ( note: The Muskegon has more sping-fed seeps/influx than any tail water in the state due to its high gradients and moraine sub- strata.

( the Muskegon has always produced big browns, but with the new regulations, we will be seeing many more of them!- here Geno Kelly with an April stunner!)

( Chris Bamford and Brad Turner with awesome Muskegon browns in 2018- one in January Brad got with "Trutta Buddha" Tommy Lynch, the other with me in December)

Note that the Muskegon is stocked with  "wild" strains of Michigan "groundzero" original German stocking genetics evolved in Michigan, and one of stunning Loch Leven origin genetics from Wisconsin spring creek country- Gilchrist and Sturgeon strains, and Wild Rose strains. 

More migratory Sturgeon River strains have been stocked recently, thus giving us more lake-run browns like this post-spawn lake-run my client caught in February 2018

Also, the Muskegon gets 40,000 California Eagle Lake rainbows each year that can get very big and healthy, like this beauty. The massive hatches, scuds and crayfish/sculpins, plus sucker minnows, salmonid eggs and parr, give the trout massive food sources year-round

STEELHEAD

2018 saw a very scattered and spread out spring run due to extreme early flooding in February and cold temps in the spring. The fall run was very short lived when decent numbers came in to feed on Chinook salmon eggs in October. BUT!...the run quickly died out when brutal arctic weather took over almost overnight, with river temperatures plummeting 10-15 degrees rapidly.

SPRING 2018

FALL 2018

( Despite a very dismal and slow fall run, my clients managed some #steelheaddreams of their own with me!- we were very blessed to get a few stunners!)

2019 STEELHEAD FORECAST

Here is the really GOOD NEWS!...Since perhaps only 10-15 % of our steelhead run came in last fall, EVERYONE!:DNR biologists, fishy steelhead guides and outfitters...all passionate steelheaders were wondering why the fall run of 2018 was "The worst"fall run in 20 years, BUT!, I have a good theory- bare with me.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FALL STEELHEAD RUN OF 2018- EPIC FAIL! (Case solved)

It was total pandemonium no matter where in the western Great Lakes you were fishing. "Where are the steelhead?"...."worst run I've ever seen"....."something is seriously wrong in Lake Michigan"....on and on those were the comments even trained biologists were pulling their hair out for answers.

Well....here is my theory , and I passed it by a biologist and it sounded like it could be right- we will soon know!

So we had one of the largest sized Chinook salmon runs of 2018 I've ever witnessed. That is in sheer gargantuan size of the fish, not necessarily in numbers- but they were still good. More 25-34 pound Chinook salmon were landed on 2018 than in a long time. They were massive beasts!!!- I quickly gave up using a 30 lb BOGA grip due to the sheer size of the monster kings- you were hard pressed to find one under 20 lbs!

( Bill Dobrath with a massive beast King right outside the lodge pool)

So lets picture these details. All the big Kings came in to spawn in Sept/October. The big kings are the Apex predator in Lake Michigan guarding the alewive bait fish schools in the big lake. They push steelhead/coho out like bastard children and tightly guard their prey.

So when the steelhead were ready to start a massive onslaught of the rivers, the "window -of-run" opportunity shut down fast due to extremely falling river temperatures , coupled with no waters from a summer drought from hell. River temp plummeted along with shoreline temps, forcing the steelhead to avoid a river migration. NOW!...they are left in the big lake with all those massive schools of bait fish that were once guarded heavily by the kings, now completely exposed and left open for steelhead to "chow down" on, with no other apex predator to bother them....makes sense. The next year class of kings were not as big as the spawning class, thus steelhead started packing on the pounds.

THUS!...if my prediction is right, our spring run of 2019 will be massive in both size of fish and numbers, barring we don't have early floods and crazy weather that will scatter everything- we shall see!- I could be wrong, but given the size I've seen of summer run steelhead in 2018, they were massive in size, and Brian at Indiana DNR also reported multiple 20 pound plus summer Skamania in the weir nets in 2018

Michigan Atlantic Salmon

The same thing that happened to the steelhead run occurred for Torch /Elk Lake system in my opinion. Extremely war waters turning bitter cold very fast. Although the Au Sable and Huron shoreline had better returns, along with the St. Mary's river, numbers should have been greater. ( probably the worst run I've seen there in 20 years, only to see three of the best runs  in 2017/2016/2015....SO, cycles occur as always.

(One of the few 2018 Atlantics we managed in our glacial lake systems.) 

Torch/Elk are similar to the Maine Rangley Lake/Grand Lake system of rivers/lakes. But Torch is very deep ( 300 feet), and still holds the IGFA world-record my client and I got of 26 pounds.

60,000 Fall fingerling's were stocked at Torch in 2018, with yearling's (right Heather?) to come in 2019. These systems have produced monster Atlantics and will in the future. Michigan is ramping up their Atlantic program with even chrome silver Atlantics being caught in the Detroit River, like the one here!

Remember!, Salmo salar can forgo a year of spawning since their evolutionary life cycle to migrate back-and-forth from Greenland and Faeroe Islands might last longer than a year, and they are multi-year spawners, living to be very old.

I am now taking reservations for Atlantic salmon 2019, and I'm thinking we are going to have a much better year because of many fish not spawning IMHO, and a better evaluation of the stocking program, along with more natural reproduction focus.

Previous year stunning Atlantic's

AND THE STANDING IGFA WORLD RECORD (26LB-Tom Aufiero angler/guide Matthew Supinski)

King and Coho Salmon

What else is there to say than the kings were enormous in 2018- they were so massive you had to cradle them in your arms rather than just hold them up!. Since we swing traditional west coast comets and bosses to our wild kings in the pools, we get their maximum pre- spawn size, and try avoiding dark gravel fish as much as possible. 2018 saw the return of wild Platte River Coho salmon plants for the Muskegon which promises to open up an exciting new era for silvers on the MO !

SUMMER SKAMANIA STEELHEAD

Again, the brutal 90F heat and extreme drought of 2018 mad things miserable for river fishing summer runs, though big lake fisherman destroyed the,! The few that came in were very large in size, but again many forgo coming in until late fall or not at all. 2019 should see very large summer runs that stayed in the lake. I have been guiding summer steelhead for 24 years and there is not a finer fighting big migratory fish under the sun!

( Gene Kelly from Boston with a stunning summer run from the St. Joe in 2018, along with Jeb from Virginia)

Hope to see you in 2019 at the Gray Drake! We are now taking reservations and would love to get you into our world-class trout/steelhead and salmon utopia for a fish of a lifetime!
