Hunting of all sorts is all the rage here, but don’t forget the fall fishing. Right now the big thing is salmon – the rivers are full of them. Lake fishing has been a little

Windy conditions continue to hamper fishing, especially on the Great Lakes and the bigger inland lakes. River fishing improved after the rain and much cooler temperatures, but will most likely slow again with the warmup.

Fishing pressure has generally been light, except in rivers where salmon are running. Perch fishing has really picked up across the state.

Everything is about ready to bust loose with the arrival of fall. Good bite all around the Great Lakes, and rivers filling up with fish, too.

This is the last full week of lake trout season on northern Lake Michigan and northern Lake Huron. The season closes Sept. 30. As we move into fall, watch for minnows to show up around

With the windy conditions, fewer anglers have been out. Those heading to the rivers to find salmon are getting some fish. On the inland lakes, fish will soon be starting their feeding frenzy before winter

With the trout season heading down the home stretch, the fishing is still good. But the hot topic among anglers: Salmon fishing is starting to take off. Here’s where they’re catching ’em.

Inland lakes are producing a mixed bag of panfish, bass, walleyes, and northern pike. Good action has been reported by anglers on Rush, Van Auken, Orion, Coldwater, Isabella, Six Mile, and most other inland lakes.

Michigan Outdoor News Editor Bill Parker takes a look at the smallmouth bass bite on Lake St. Clair and other action around the state.
