Chicago

Andre:

You might give Matt Supinski a call. He fishes several Lake Michigan rivers for steelhead and salmon.

His lodge is Gray Drake in Newaygo, Michigan.

How far would it be from Chicago to the Muskegan River?

Depending on how long it takes you to get unstuck from the city you can be on the river in about 4- 41/2 hours. The St. Joe is closer by an hour and a half or more but I don't know any reputable guides who fly fish it.

I fished with Feenstra yesterday and I would recomend him very highly
He swings big leaches and sculpin paterns on big rods all year long not just every once and a while like most other Mich guides. He has a great system and it works.
good luck
