The resident brown and rainbow trout fishing is consistently evolving into a spring creek style fishery due to the constant flow management. With the recent invasion of the zebra mussels, which purifies the water, the clarity is impeccable. In addition, heavy aquatic vegetation is adding significant habitat for mayfly nymphs and freshwater shrimp. Very precise presentation of tiny flies and small tippets add an increased challenge to our evolving fishery.

The Muskegon hatches are prolific with June being the peak emergence of the
massive Gray Drake and other major hatches 

July/August/September - Cinnamon Caddis #18, little green caddis #20-22, blue
winged olives #26, white miller caddis #12 October/November/December - Cinnamon Caddis #18, giant autumn sedge #8, blue winged olives #26, black midges #22 & flying ant hatches.

With new trophy trout regulations in place for 2001, these will greatly favor larger trout and increased trout populations.
