Still fishing every chance he can
Kevin Feenstra started Feenstra Guide Service LLC in 1997. He has spent countless hours on the Muskegon River and still fishes the river system and surrounding waterways every chance he gets. His passion is swinging flies for steelhead, but he loves to fish for any predator fish willing to eat a fly.
Kevin is an active writer and fly tier. He has authored many magazine articles, his flies appear in fly tying manuals and magazines, and he speaks at fishing shows and clubs throughout the Midwest. He is on the national pro staff of Scott Fly Rods.
His other passion is outdoor photography, capturing the beauty of West Michigan both above and below the water. He lives in Newaygo with his wife and three children.
