Great day of fishing on the river

I caught these two beauties on purple wiggler flies. Everything went perfect today, the weather was great and the steelhead were biting. Kept these two fish for our meals and released 4 others. The big female was also full of spawn. That will make all my friends happy when they have roe to tie into sacks for bait.

Tomorrow's weather is supposed to be even better than todays! Let's hope for another great day of fishing. So fellow steelhead fisherman get out and get on the rivers. It's a great place to be.

I had a great day of fishing on the white River. White River is a beautiful trout stream in west michigan . Got a limit of steelhead, all it seems the fish would hit were yellow wiggler flies, but its like that somedays . tomorrow it may be orange color or black they bit on.

My Family's Steelhead Fly

The Spring Wiggler Fly was created by my grandfather, Frank Spring in the early 1950's. He was an avid fisherman and wanted to create the perfect steelhead fly. I think he succeeded, and by the popularity of the Spring Wiggler I would say he did it. My father Phil Sr and Uncle Ron Spring carried on the tradition and legacy of creating this perfect steelhead fly. Now it's my turn.

These are three of the most popular colors. As an avid fisherman and steelhead guide, I've found that all three of these colors work well. Just yesterday I got a nice big female on the chartuese.

I use a variety of colors based on water conditions and lighting. Like today, the sun is shining bright so I would choose a darker colored fly. But always have an assortment of flies with me, in case the conditions change or the fish are picky.
