The Muskegon - secluded, yet close - is located 45 minutes north of Grand Rapids, Michigan in Newaygo, Michigan. The Muskegon River banks are anchored by deep forests, and its clear water courses over gravel bars into deep, dark runs and pools. With miles of its wide, expansive river to explore, our Muskegon River fly fishing guides put their clients into locations proven to hold fish by years of experience and knowledge of catches of the previous day. Our jet-powered boats enable our guides to move up and down the river at will, increasing opportunities for hook-ups on:
- Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout
- Steelhead
- Chinook Salmon
- Smallmouth Bass
Caddis, mayflies, and stone flies along with salmon and steelhead fry are prolific, providing multiple prey for game fish and hatch-matching opportunities for fly fishermen. Exceptional trout hold in the river year-round. Truly, at any time, one may connect with a trout of lifetime. They are not easy, though, rewarding persistence, knowledge, and skill. Fortunately, smaller trout take flies all day long so novice fly fishers experience success on their first days on the river.
Two-handed Spey fishing for steelhead is extraordinarily good on the Muskegon, and technical nymphing yields special trout when many have wrongly concluded that, "The fish aren't biting." In collaboration with Allen Brothers Fly Company and River Quest guide Jay Allen, RiverQuest guides cast flies tied to exacting insect-matching standards, flies designed expressly for the Muskegon River. Knowledge about the entomology of Muskegon River insects and crustaceans enable successful fly fishing even under challenging conditions.
For those wishing to fish other Michigan rivers, RiverQuest also offers float trips on the Manistee River for summer run steelhead and Chinook salmon; the St. Joseph River for summer run steelhead; and the St. Mary's River for Atlantic Salmon. RiverQuest also provides Grand Traverse Bay smallmouth bass and carp fly fishing trips.
