12/6/2018 Southwest Lower Peninsula Michigan DNR Fishing Report

Southwest Lower Peninsula

Cass County: There has been no ice on the lakes in Cass County despite having about 2 inches of snow on the ground. 

Kalamazoo River: Anglers were getting the occasional steelhead at the Allegan Dam.

Grand River at Grand Rapids: Ice has not been forming on inland lakes around Grand Rapids. Steelhead and a couple walleye were caught up near the 6th Street Dam.  

Spring Lake: Some perch were caught off the bridges. 

Muskegon River: The water was slightly stained after the rain and snow melt. Those targeting steelhead continue to find the occasional fish, including some that are quite large. Try flashy patterns with the stained water. 

• For a more accurate report on the Muskegon Lake & the Muskegon River I suggest reaching out to the people at Snug Harbor Outfitters. Phone: (231-719-0759)

White River: Anglers still were getting some steelhead when casting or drifting.
