Mike Schoonveld: Are pink salmon making a comeback in Lake Michigan?

Catching a pink salmon in northern Lake Huron or in the St. Marys River isn’t an uncommon occurrence. I don’t fish that area often, but I did catch one in the St. Marys on a brisk fall day just below the lock and dam at Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.
