Fall Salmon Fishing Reports – Tippy Dam Area
Come Join us for excellent Fall Salmon fishing on the Big Manistee River below Tippy Dam.
Salmon season is best from Labor Day through late October when huge numbers of Chinook and Coho Salmon ascend the river and move up stream towards the Tippy Dam area near Wellston. September – October is best.
We offer anglers a choice of spinning tackle, bait casting gear, or fresh water fly fishing equipment for Salmon and Steelhead fishing on the Manistee, Muskegon, and Pere Marquette Rivers.
Dates are now available for the Big Manistee River below Tippy Dam.
During the later part of October, Fall Steelhead fishing is available, as well as resident Brown and Rainbow Trout.
Starting to see big numbers of fall Chinook (King) salmon in the upper sections of the Manistee River below Tippy Dam. Salmon are actually larger this season due to plentiful bait fish in Lake Michigan. Salmon have been healthy with more entering the river each day. Northeast winds over the past few days have brought in good numbers of Chinook (King) salmon, Coho, and Skamania Steelhead. There has also been a few Lake Run Brown Trout.
