Lake Michigan Fishing Reports

Lake Trout fishing is great right now with lots of limits or near limits. We are starting to see more Salmon in the catches also. This should be the start of Trophy time, when big fish meet their matches with the Anglers.

06/07/09

Fishing has slowed a bit. This time of year the thermal clines are setting up and the lake is in transition. As soon as the moon phase changes it should be good again

05/21/09

Steelhead have came to the forefront this week along with Coho action still holding up. Some big Kings to 20 pounds still lurking around.

05-18-09

Nothing has changed much. Fishing remains excellent with some days with more fish but all trips coming in the past few weeks with some Kings over 15 pounds.

05/11/09

Best salmon fishing in years. Kings to 20 pounds all the Coho you want. Great time to be fishing.

04-27-09

Fishing still remains excellent. Kings are showing up in bigger numbers with the southerly winds.

04/22/09

Fishing remains excellent for Coho, with some Steelhead and Kings in the mix

04/18/09

Coho fishing is hot right now with limit catches [ 5 salmon per angler this year] being the norm. A few Kings, Steelhead and Browns also in the mix. This is a strike while the iron is hot type of deal in the spring and we do have openings for short notice trips.

4/6/09

We took a 4 man limit of Coho today with one 7 pound King. Great fishing!

4/02/09

Coho fishing has started to heat up on the near shore waters out of St. Joseph. With the occasional Brown Trout and Steelhead. Fish on!
