Spring U.P. Fishing Report
May 22nd, 2026Some 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!
