Good numbers of salmon are being taken from the St. Mary's river near
the Soo and near shore at Cedarville and Hessel. Steelhead and pink
salmon are active close to the shipping channel off the Les Cheneaux
islands and in the shipping channels near DeTour. Smallmouth bass
and northern pike are being taken near Hessel and around the islands.
Salmon fishing is improving in the waters off St. Ignace and Mackinac
Island.
Off Grindstone city lake trout are being taken along with salmon,
steelhead and brown trout. Some pike and bass are being taken in the
harbor and walleye are off the breakwalls.
Salmon are in the rivers in increasing numbers and are staging in
the lakes out from the rivers. The spawning runs should be going strong
over the next two or three weeks. By mid October they should be over.
Steelhead often follow the salmon into the rivers to feed on spawn. The
charter season is winding down and for most will be over by the end of
October if not before. A few charter services operate later or even
year-round mainly with trailerable boats and in the rivers.

Our fishing has finely perked up on Munuscong bay with this warm
weather warming the water. All the people I have talked to are
taking good No.s of fish. Pike, Walleye, Perch, Atlantic Salmon,
Steel Head, Catfish, and Drum. It's great just to be on the water
but even better to bring home some real nice fish to eat and
freeze.
