Rivers across the Upper Peninsula are in very good shape for this time of the year, some rivers could actually use a new shot of water as the last major rainfall has passed through the systems. Â Steelhead are present and experienced anglers have been finding some nice chrome head shaking on the end of the fly line. Â Steelhead numbers vary largely, some nice fish are available for those willing to put in the time. Â Still plenty of Salmon (Kings) around, a few fresh fish are available, but most are on gravel at this time and that is when we consider it game over for them. Â Look for Steelhead & Lake Run Brown numbers to increase with the cooler weather & new rainfall.




Fall-so much to do & not enuff time…..

Record high river levels for this of the year across the U.P. has made for some difficult angling as of lately, lots of rivers have been nearly unfishable due to the high water. Â Some areas of the U.P. received around 3 inches of rain from this event, rivers have crested and are working their way back down to normal levels right now. Rivers with steeper drainages have come down & are fishable for the most part. Â Salmon numbers are fair to good right now with a FEW bonus other species available. Â Angler pressure has been high on some rivers by U.P. standards as the Salmon season is the last hooray for some anglers before hunting season get sin full swing.



Fall-Trophy time!
