The city includes the heavily industrialized Zug Island at the mouth of the River Rouge.

River Rouge, Michigan Video

Well we are in the peak of Steelhead season here in Michigan and things have been rockin. We've been slammed with a few good spring rainstorms and a lot of the rivers here in Michigan are blown out. So the other day PT and I headed to the Rouge River in Rockford to chase some spring steelhead on a river that was still under flood level. We had an amazing morning and connected with some nice steelhead. It was so great to be on the river as the birds were singing their spring songs and the steelhead were doing their annual dance on the gravel. We had a great time on the stream and were able to shoot some good footage. Check out the video below and thanks for following us on all of our adventures.
