5-2-25 West Side Trout Rivers and streams on the west coast are fishing well. From Ludington north, the streams were in great shape for the type 1 trout opener. From Baldwin to Muskegon, the rivers and tributaries were quite low but trout were cooperative. There is still quite a few steelhead spawning in the systems and the trout are feeding heavy on the eggs. The resident river trout are in feeding mode. Spawn sacs, small cranks, spinners and streamers are working great. Walleye have returned from their Spawn, and are being caught off the piers in low light conditions, deep diving body baits, soft plastics, and swim baits, all fished slow near bottom work well. With rain predicted this week, the inland stream fishing could really explode w a great bite!
