Steelhead Fly Recipe… Spring's Wiggler by Ron(?) Spring This is a west Michigan classic but it remains a perfect steelhead fly because it is an easy tie and fish still love to eat it. As far as a little internet reaserch produced the fly was the creation of Ron Spring who operated a sports shop in Muskegon. I like my Spring's Wigglers bushier and with a thinner body than most that I see for sale in local shops. I tie them in a variety of colors and in sizes 4-6. Best For… steelhead and salmon Could Also Be Used For… trout and carp ***Materials listed in tying order Hook… TMC 200R, size 4-6 Note – After you lash down the back make several wraps under the lashed squirrel tail near the hook eye. This will stand the hair up to look more like a head. |

Pere Marquette- low
Our salmon run was late this year but has finally peaked. We have good numbers of fish all over the gravels in the middle and upper river with some still waiting in the holes. Fishing is very good and should remain so for the next week or two. We’re starting to see a few steelhead around, but need rain before we get a big push. Matt Dunn
