Steelhead Fishing the Betsie River in Benzie


Steelhead Fishing is 'ON AGAIN' in Benzie County Michigan!

George loves Steelhead fishing the Betsie River.
This pic was sent from his cellphone yesterday when he caught this one. 

You bet we love to see our fishermen catch fish!

In fact, George got a couple of them while he was here.

Seems George knows what he's doing!

 People often leave things behind, common items are cellphone chargers, shoes, expensive tooth brushes, even medication. But darn, never once has any one of our fishermen ever forgot about their fish in the freezer.

Apparently fishing can be a dangerous sport, I heard today that one of the guys fishing the Betsie got whacked in the eye and had to go to the hospital...yikes! Just look what happened during Bob and Bruces last ice fishing adventure. No fish that day, just this...! 
 

Bruce did promise, the next time that this happens, he will let me blog his step by step guide on how to self remove a fishing hook ;)

Yep, there are Steelhead in the river and some very good river fishermen are on their way to Benzie County.

 Russ is coming, he likes fishing the Betsie, but he will be scouting the Platte River while he is here. Russ has been here many times, he is an excellent river fishermen and always catches.
Doak and Dennis have called in their reservations. We love this awesome Father and Son fishing team.
