In all my years of fishing the big rivers in Michigan I have never seen the Grand River here in Grand Rapids as low as it is now. Ive taken a couple trips down to the river and the creeks this week and found only a few fish. We desperately need rain. There are only fair numbers of fish up at the dam at sixth street and a few steelhead have been caught on clown eggs and caddis and a few browns on spawn and crawlers. the kings are there and spawning but need rain to get, what will probably be the last push of fish up the river and the scent of the creeks in the river for the push into the smaller creeks. Those of you that dont like the crowds should look for the next rainfall of a substantial amount and hit the little creeks, Buck and Plaster, for the kings and browns. Remember that these creeks close for browns on september 30th so be a sportsmen and throw them back.

Bad Weekend
So yea went to Tippy on Saturday, bad idea. Had to walk down to sawdust hole to find a spot to fish and even then it was still elbow to elbow people. I seen a few kings caught and there is a lot of them in the river. The browns were hitting on streamers and spoons but didn't see any steel come out. Broke my rod early in the day so yea it does happen to the best of us. Thank god it wasn't the fly rod. Oh well, in the upcoming weeks the crowds will die of then its time for the big browns. See ya on the river.
