The Muskegon River in Newaygo County is home to thriving populations of Rainbow Trout, Sea Trout, and Lake Trout. These cold-water species are drawn to the river's oxygen-rich waters, abundant food sources, and varied structure. Fall fishing is particularly productive as water temperatures cool and trout become more active throughout the day.
Rainbow Trout are known for their spectacular fighting ability and acrobatic jumps when hooked. They prefer deeper runs with moderate current and respond well to both bait presentations and artificial lures. Sea Trout (steelhead) make seasonal migrations into the river system, providing anglers with opportunities to catch larger specimens. Lake Trout may be found in the deeper pools, especially during warmer weather when they seek cooler water temperatures.
Your 6-hour guided fishing adventure begins with an early morning meet-up at our designated launch site. We recommend wearing layered clothing appropriate for Michigan's variable fall weather and bringing waterproof outerwear. All fishing equipment including rods, reels, tackle, and bait is provided, though you're welcome to bring your favorite gear if preferred.
Our comfortable drift boat provides stable fishing platforms and allows access to productive water that shore anglers can't reach. We'll take brief breaks as needed, but most of your day will be spent actively fishing. Michigan fishing licenses are required and can be purchased online before your trip. For the best experience, book your Muskegon River trout fishing adventure well in advance, especially during peak fall fishing season when dates fill quickly.
