Fly Fishing: Best Fly Fishing Techniques for the Muskegon River Trout have been free style nymphing along the bottom. Ticking near the bottom has been key for the larger Trout on the White River. Scud patterns in smaller sizes, (#16 & #18) have been producing fish. Micro egg patterns and small beads have been working well. Trout spawn all throughout the winter months on this tail water fishery so egg flies are a must! Natural colors have been producing the best right now. During power generation, a little brighter colored egg flies are working well. Small nymphs like Pheasant tails, Wooley Buggers, Hare’s Ears and Scuds all work well during the Winter months. When the water levels are up, the streamer game here is strong! Big streamers stripped along the banks really produce some quality fish including a few trophies.
