MICHIGAN SALMON FISHING REPORT

Michigan Salmon Fishing – The upper sections of the Manistee River, near Tippy Dam to the High Bridge Boat Launch have been fishing very for King Salmon, Coho Salmon, and Skamania Steelhead. Spawning is in full swing right now with lots of Salmon visible and on gravel. Sight fly fishing for Salmon has been outstanding! Vicious strikes while watching King Salmon take the fly, has made for some heart pounding action!

King Salmon fry patterns, stone flies, and green caddis, have all been working well for bright chrome Michigan Salmon. Kings begin to key on Alewife bait fish patterns, Casting Thunder stick crank baits, and Salmon Skein Roe under a float fishing.  Alewives and salmon fry are major food sources for both steelhead, Brown Trout, and resident Rainbow trout. Salmon smolt also feed well on Stone flies and Caddis.

Bead fishing has also been very good. Both 8mm and 10mm trout beads are fishing well this time of year. Natural colors, mostly orange, and peach have been fishing well. Most productive techniques have been bead fishing on light spinning tackle. Rolling spawn sacks along the bottom, or jigs and wax worms under a float (Bobber fishing).

Fly fishing has also been very good for Manistee River King Salmon. Drifting eggs and nymphs along the bottom has been producing some nice King Salmon, Steelhead and Brown Trout.
