Lake trout are starting to move near shore on Lake Michigan. Use jigging spoons, blade baits, and white flukes/tubes on jigheads near the bottom.

A few lake trout are showing up, and a few whitefish.

We’re in transition time between the salmon run winding down and the winter lake trout and perch bite heating up.

Low and clear water here have made for great bass fishing.

Covering water is the name of the game right now.

The rain earlier this week got a big push of kings as well as some coho and a few steelhead to come in here.

The river here is in good shape. Water temps are in the high 60s to low 70s and late-summer patterns are in full swing.

Anglers here are doing well on suspended crappies, as well as catching a few catfish on cut bait, and hybrid striped bass by trolling near bait balls in low-light hours.

On Lake Michigan, salmon fishing has picked back up for anglers going offshore to 110-plus feet to find cooler water.
