RIVERS NORTH UPPER PENINSULA FISHING REPORT!

U.P. Fall Steelhead & Salmon Fishing Report

October 23rd, 2026

Moving into late autumn here in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, it’s been a wonderful fall to this point. Lower than normal water levels here have caused fishing to be a bit behind schedule. Despite the delay our anglers have experienced some great opportunities for some remarkable fish.

Chinook Salmon fishing is all but over at this time, but some nice Coho Salmon and Steelhead are available. We did get a nice bump in water levels last weekend from a good rain that brought stream levels up to pretty much normal flows for this time of the year.

Hoping that we see more rains to keep levels up and bring in some more fish. We do have availability so please reach out to get a date before the cold weather sets in! Thank you to all our recent guests, great job on some fantastic fish!

U.P. Fishing Report

September 18th, 2026

Starting to feel like Autumn across the Upper Peninsula, crisp mornings and a few colors on the trees in the forest. This is a great time to visit, this time of the year we fish some beautiful streams and find some remarkable fish.

Recently we have been targeting a variety of different species across our region. Brook Trout fishing still remains good as they are very active leading into their spawning period. Also the Smalmouth Bass fishing has been very good, fish have transistioned to subsurface feeding pretty heavily on baitfish & some crawfish. Salmon numbers are pretty low, they will improve soon. We are hoping for some rain as rivers levels are low.

There are available dates from now through the end of our fishing season. If you’re looking to get out please contact us, lots of great fishing ahead of us!
