I have a few times Alex but haven't in a while now.

Jointed Shad Raps are good crankbaits for the Saugatuck.

thanks, you've been very helpful Michael. I was also wondering about the variety of fish at saugatuck res, what different species have you caught there?

i love rapalas, but the ones i have are small and don't cast far because i fish small ponds and lakes, nothing comparable to the size of the saugatuck, the one on my avatar is my small husky jerk.

Species I've caught include brown trout, rainbow trout, smallmouths, largemouths, and yellow perch. Walleye, pickerel, and crappie are also in there from other reports I've seen.

I see you mentioned not catching trout in the lakes and ponds.

Great Hollow Lake gets stocked heavily in the spring and 1 or 2 good size stockings in the fall before it closes. I've had lots of luck there with trout from shore and on a buddy's canoe.

Twin Brooks and Bunnells hold trout but they like to hang out in certain areas and depths.

i have only tried great hollow a few times in the summer and fall with no luck, just sunnies. I have tried bunnels only once, with no luck. So all in all I haven't gave it much effort, I love to fish the river though. I wanted to try great hollow in the spring because I heard so much about it, but I was busy fishing so many other places in the spring
