Grand River at Grand Rapids: Some nice steelhead were caught down below the 6th Street Dam.  Try spawn, spinners and wax worms as they were all getting bit.    . 

Kalamazoo River:  Stealhead were biting good prior to the cold front this weekend so a slow down is expected.  However try spawn, spinners, and a wax worm fished under a float, for a chance at taking a few lingering fish.

Muskegon Lake: Anglers need to stay away from the middle of the lake and the area of the shipping channel due to freighter traffic coming in from Lake Michigan. Yellow perch were caught off the Sand Docks. Pike were caught in 12 to 24 feet off Hartshorn Marina.  Those fishing off the State Park caught bluegills in 3 to 5 feet.

Muskegon River: Steelhead numbers are fair. Fish were in the deeper and slower water during the cold spell. The bite may improve with warmer temperatures.
