Recent cold air temps/precip have water temps down and levels up a bit.  This years class of Chinook Salmon from Lake Michigan is the largest size fish I have seen in a very long time!  Salmon are averaging around the 12 lb mark and some absolutley magnum sized fish are available around the 20 lb plus range-keeping a hold of them can be quite interesting!  Some chrome has been making an appearance-both Steelhead & Coho are present, but a good amount of skill and or luck is in order to get these feisty guys into the net!  A warm up & sun is in the forecast here in the U.P. over the next week-it has been nice to have clouds/rain on a daily basis so the changing conditions should make for some interesting reactions from our finned friends.

October fly fishing in the U.P.-big fish on the fly!!
