Grand River at Grand Rapids

[Fishing Report]

Lots of steelhead action in the river. A few brown trout were also caught. Steelhead are hitting on choker bags, jigs tipped with wax worms, hot-n-tots, thundersticks and glow-in-the-dark wobble glows with pink dots. When the water is clear, try size 8 to 10 hooks with 6 to 8 pound fluorocarbon. Walleye are being taken on the east side of the river with walleye minnows. Glow-in-the-dark or white and pink bucktail jigs are also being used. Good crappie and bluegill fishing in the early morning at Riverside Park. Bluegills are hitting worms fished on the bottom near the sunken island. Anglers are reminded that the drop-shot fishing method may not be used on any river or stream. At Millenium Park, large bass are being taken on big shiners and crappies are hitting on fathead minnows and shiners.
