Salmon
King Salmon are the most exciting fish found
in our rivers! Fall salmon runs in the Muskegon,
Pere Marquette and Manistee River are simply incredible. These
monsters may be hooked on flies or lures, and once hooked, they
will wear your arms out! Join us for a great day of fishing Michigan's
King Salmon!
During
the early Salmon season, (Late August, September) one of
our favorite techniques is casting crankbaits (Thundersticks).
Mint silver kings that have just arrived from the big lake absolutely
crush these lures. They just about rip the rod out of your hand!
Later in the
season, Salmon offer great sport for the fly fisher. Salmon come
into the Muskegon, Pere Marquette and Manistee River in great
numbers and hit flies well. They fight hard and the battle on
a 9 weight fly rod or spinning tackle is absolutely amazing!

Drifting nymphs and swinging spey flies are the preferred
techniques but, there are many different ways to fish salmon including
plugs, spawn, and spinners.
Side casting body baits such as Thundersticks and Ka-Boom
shiners, is by far one of our most productive methods for the early
season Kings! These early salmon have unimaginable power once they've
entered the river!

Chinook
Salmon ascend the Pere Marquette and Muskegon Rivers in late
August and September through late October. These fish are by far
the largest power fish of the year. Chinook average 18 to 25
pounds but, fish over 30 pounds are not uncommon!
