Tim Roller holds a trophy steelhead caught recently on the Muskegon River during a BugWater Media filming trip.
Spring Steelhead fishing is ready to heat up on Michigan streams that flow into the Great Lakes.
Earlier this month, steelhead River Guide Chad Betts and Tim Roller took a mid-week float down the Muskegon River in search of steelhead action.
Betts and Roller were fishing spawn bags under floating indicators because of the cold temperatures.
"When the water is this cold (34 degrees)," Betts said, "live bait presentations can be more productive than flies or traditional plugs and lures."
Roller brought his "Wild Addiction" television camera crew along for the fishing trip. And by noon, the fishing action was hot and heavy.
"We covered a lot of water during the day," Roller said. "Chad worked hard all day and did a good job to get us into fish."
"Once the water temp warmed just a few degrees," Roller said, "We were into fish all afternoon."

Roller explained that footage from the day's fishing effort will be used for a half hour television program, and will also be used in a new BugWater Media DVD featuring year-round steelhead fishing tactics.
"We netted a dozen fish during the day," Roller said. "You can't ask for more than that considering the very cold Winter conditions," Roller said.
