RIVERS NORTH UPPER PENINSULA FISHING REPORT!

Summer Fishing in Michigan’s U.P.

August 14th, 2026

Mid August in the Upper Peninsula, some of the nicest weather of the year! Stable temps and a dry weather trend is upon us currently, water levels are pretty typical for this time of the season.

Most of our time has been spent Smallmouth Bass fishing as well as fishing the spring creeks for resident Brook Trout. Some night fishing opportunities have also been available which is a unique experience!

Top water action has been pretty solid for the warm water species and attractor pattern dry fly fishing has been very productive for resident Trout. We still have some excellent fishing for Trout throughout rest of August as well as September.

If you’re looking for a U.P. fishing adventure, please reach out to us! We have some fun opportunities for guided outings available from now through fall. Congrats to all of our recent guests on some remarkable fish, thanks for choosing Riversnorth to spend your time with!

Upper Peninsula Michigan Fishing Report

July 14th, 2026

It’s the heart of summer here in Michigan’s U.P., a beautiful time to visit and be outside enjoying the outdoors! We have experienced some very hot weather recently that has escalated water temps across the region. Thankfully the warm spell is ending and some more seasonable weather is heading our way.

Our guests have been enjoying a variety of fishing ranging from St Mary’s river Atlantic Salmon as well as resident Brook and Brown Trout on our spring fed streams.
Atlantic Salmon numbers have been low this season, not many fish to work with but some remarkably large Salmon have made it to the net. Brook Trout fishing has been strong, attractor dries as well as streamers on our cold water spring creeks has been lights out.
Lots of time left in the fishing season here in the U.P., drop us a line to get some dates reserved. Happy to answer any questions you might have, thanks for the support!
