This is my first fishing Muskegon of the year. The water is very high. It's tough to stand in the water.
I caught some small rainbow by streamers at Pine Street access in the morning.
I always have lunch at River Stop Cafe in downtown Newaygo when I fish the Muskegon.
I moved to Kimball Park after lunch and a nap. A few fish started rising after 5:00 PM.
This was the first time of the year to use dry flies.
I saw a party of five fly fishermen. I think they are local fly fishermen.
Their fishing technique was very good and I watched them for a while after I finished fishing.
