2105 SJRVFF Salmon/Steelhead Outing

The always popular Salmon/Steelhead Outing will be Saturday, October 17, 2015. We’ll be meeting at the Thorn Apple Landing on the Muskegon River. We’ll be sending out a reminder as we get a little closer and look for opportunities to share a ride. As always Todd will be providing some of his awesome chili. If you haven’t done any salmon fishing this is a great opportunity to get into some fish and have someone with some experience help you out. Don’t worry if your light on equipment – there will be some there for you to tryout as well. And if you’ve experienced the pull of a salmon before, come on up and spend the day hanging out, trading stories and maybe helping someone experience the thrill for the first time.

Wednesday Night Fishing-July 22nd @ 6:00

Hey all,

I know we seem to have been spending most of our time on the Dowagiac Creek but it seems to be the best fishing right now. So, this week we are again going to fish on the Dowagiac Creek at Griffis Rd.  in Cassopolis, MI.

Directions can be a little tricky as I do not have an address for you to plug into a GPS. So, here are the “old school” directions from downtown Cassopolis, MI. go one block east on M-60 to Okeefe Rd then north 4 miles to Kelsey Lake Rd. Turn right (east) on Kelsey Lake Rd and take it 1 mile to Griffis Rd. Turn left (north) on Griffis Rd and go 1.5 miles to where Griffis Rd crosses over the Dowagiac Creek. Park along the side of the road.

 

I hope to see you there!
