RIVERS ARE FALLING FAST WITH CHILLY TEMPS...BUT LOAD FOR BEAR!

7:53 AM Matthew Supinski's Gray Drake/Selectivity/Nexus Blog

After peaking at 9,000 cfs, the Muskegon is now at 6,000 and falling fast. It is now "fly fishable", without using  two ounces of lead sinkers...going midging now with one once and 7x tippet...LOL! Yes spawn guys have hit fish during the high and dangerous flows , but you be the judge.

 Seriously, it is clearing up fast and will drop fast and clear faster with cool air temps. But tie and fish big and gaudy with lots of flash and color....simple rule in stained water. 

 Water temp shot back down to 41 F, so that is actually good and will slow the run down a bit for a longer duration.

 Good news is that there is lots of steelhead and browns in the system and the rest of April and May will be awesome after we get major flooding.

 NOTE:...still have one weekend open due to schedule changes with the weather and flood, and a few middle week spots.

PERFECT SPATE......PERFECT SWEDE......PEREFCT STEELHEAD!

7:53 PM Matthew Supinski's Gray Drake/Selectivity/Nexus Blog

(Little black stone- Allocapnia/Tanniopterix)


Spate is a word for "heavy river flows- or run-off". The English gave it that name to tell Atlantic Salmon anglers that"the run is on its way!"



So we have it for the Muskegon. A week ago we were saying" If we don't get some rain- we are gonna be screwed fro spring!!". Water was at summer lows, we were scrapping bottom in certain areas that were at flood stage. An inch or two of rain and snow melt brought us from 1,420 cfs- to 4,290! Just the way we like it on the Mighty Mo- if you know the river and its hidden jewels.



Had the pleasure today of guiding the "big guy"- John Bloomgren.One of the finest steelheaders and nicest guys you'll ever have meet- not to mention one of the elite nuclear engineers in the U.S.!



The "steely Swede" landed one of the most prefect female hens I've seen in years- it jumped 4 times in 36 degree water!!!.



The water was a mud stain in the morning- turning pea green by the afternoon-looking fishy and the big hens are a commeth.



I love it when" the river is blown out".It makes you work harder and the rewards and hard fought battles are so much more special!



Little black stones did big time hatching and egg-laying in the afternoon sun-SPRING IS OFFICIALLY HERE!
