RIVERS NORTH UPPER PENINSULA FISHING REPORT!

Dry Dock

August 30th, 2009

Mornings here in the U.P. sure have the feel of Fall to them right now as we end the month of August.  Temps in the mid 40’s have been present on a few mornings-a little chilly for the early morning boat ride!  Currently Pacific Salmon numbers have been increasing daily on the St.Marys River system-a few more Pink Salmon are present, but we still have not been targeting them yet.  Why target them when some great Chinook are avaiable!  This year I am more impressed than previous years with the Chinook of the St.Marys-some fish near the 20 lb mark are present that will test your skillls!  Adding Atlantic Salmon & Steelehad to the mix sure just makes it all that much better!

Bye Bye Summer, Hello Fall!

Enjoy the Ride

Some good opportunities exist on the St.Marys River for early Fall Chinook Salmon-a good number of Salmon are currently present making for some exciting moments!  Seems as though this season there are more Chinook present compared to the few previous years.  This is a great sign for the Lake Huron Pacific Salmon fishery!  Some nice Atlantic Salmon as well as this Fall’s first Steelhead have also been providing some memorable days-this time of the year an angler can have the chance to target a few different species in one day here on the St.Marys.  Pink Salmon numbers are low at this time, although more continue to show up on a daily basis.  Look for Pink Salmon numbers to steadily increase as Sept grows closer.  Early Season Chinook Salmon-big & powerful, a great combination that will make every participant smile!

Game Time!
