RIVERS NORTH UPPER PENINSULA FISHING REPORT!

U.P. Michigan Fishing Report

June 20th, 2026

Summer days are upon us here in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, a great time of the year to be on the water! A wonderful selection of options for the angler, the U.P. has something to offer to all ages and abilities of fisherman.

Our guests have been enjoying some good resident Trout fishing this year, Brook Trout and Browns have been happy with cool temps and good water levels recently. Some excellent dry fly as well as sub surface fishing has been available, our cool weather trend has been great for all of our Trout fisheries.

Smallmouth Bass fishing has been good, fish are looking up which means popper fishing is going. Fishing will remain solid throughout the summer months. Pretty much all the fishing for warm water species has been quite solid, some remarkable fish to the net recently!

Many thanks to all our recent guests, thanks for spending time with us! We have a nice selection of open dates, please reach out to us to reserve a day here in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula!

Spring U.P. Fishing Report

May 22nd, 2026

Some remarkably good fishing opportunities throughout the Upper Peninsula region as of recently. A great variety of options have been available which has provided for some great days on the water.

The Steelhead run this spring has been one to remember, very strong runs of fish on both the Lake Superior as well as Lake Michigan sides of the UP. The high water levels held fish in rivers for an extended time frame which was great.

Smallmouth Bass fishing has been good, some very large prespawn fish made it to the net, congrats to our guests on some fish of a lifetime! Northern Pike & Walleye have also been feeding very heavily in the ideal Walter temps, some heavy fish around!

Resident Brook and Brown Trout have been getting much more active with the dropping water levels and rising water temps. Stoneflies have been crawling around & a few Blue Winged Olives in the air on sunny days!

If you’re interested in fishing the Upper Peninsula this summer give us a call or drop us a message, it would be great to get out fishing with you!
