Sorry for the lack of reports lately. We are very busy with school activities and also we are not fishing quite as much this time of the year. I guess lots of other people have kids and find it hard to get away on a fishing trip right now. It’s ok though. The 4th of July is almost here and from that point on…we fish…a lot. The fishing has been slow this month, but recently has improved. The Brown Trout and bait are now in 15 - 25 fow. Michigan Stingers in Black/silver and glow colors have been good off the riggers from 5 - 15 ft. down and orange bellied Smithwicks off the boards are also working. The past few days, the best action has been between the Salmon River and the Little Salmon River in 10 - 25 fow.

We’ve had some good salmon and Brown fishing this last week. The browns came in 8 to 12 feet of water from the salmon river to sandy pond and kings were 100 to 175 feet of water from nine mile point to sandy pond. Michigan stingers are working for the salmon and smithwicks, michigans and needlefish for the browns. Water temp. has ranged from 58 degrees onshore to 48 degrees offshore.

The fishing on the open lake both shallow and in deeper water, has been very good. Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, before we got chased off by thunder and lightening, were both great. The deep water fish on Friday, were between 65 - 105 fow. just west of the Salmon River. The near shore browns were from the Salmon River, north to the ladders is 7 - 10 fow. Here are pics of the trip on Friday afternoon. Two people… 2 Salmon, 2 steelies, 2 Lake Trout and 4 browns. Not bad for 3 hours of fishing!

The last few days, the water level has gone up and down a lot. The fishing, on the other hand, has stayed nothing less than fantastic. Landing lots of fish each day with others on. Our Steelhead fishery is amazing. Hopefully, the predicted rain will keep the river level up and the water temp. cool. We are looking forward to a couple more weeks of river fishing. We will start on the lake with regularity in about a week. Looking forward to those Brown Trout.

The river is still running at 1800 cfs, which is great for the fishing, but we are getting a little worn out from rowing in the big water. The fish are spread throughout the river and biting well. We have been spending our time in the top half from Altmar to Rt. 2A. Steelhead are being caught on plugs, eggs, beads and worms. We are finding more and more fish in the faster water every day. This makes landing them a challenge.

Still 1800 cfs and rain today and tomorrow. The dropbacks (post spawn fish) are everywhere. We have been fishing the top half of the river each day (Altmar to Rt. 2A) with a lot of success. All the places where they should be, they are. The water temp. is now in the low 40’s, which means the fishing should stay consistant. As good as it is now, I can’t wait to see how it will be when they release the fish from the hatchery. They should do that this week.

The river is still running at 1800 cfs and the fish are jumpin’ all over the lures. Sorry for the lack of reports lately, the combination of a nasty virus, fishing every day and one computer being down, has made it a little difficult. The steelies are spread throughout the river and they are on the seams. Areas where fast and slow water meet. Some fish are still on gravel spawning also. We have been plug fishing with hot shots and Rapalas, but casting from shore with egg sacks or worms will also work. The Brown Trout fishing on the lake has been on fire also. The water from the Salmon River to the State boat launch in Mexico has been producing on days when the wind doesn’t blow too hard.
