Fishing Forecast for September 4th!
September is officially here and the options for fishing are endless! Our salmon run is in full effect in many rivers, trout fishing has been excellent, and fall bass & pike fishing is picking up. Mix all of that goodness with pleasant weather and less cottage traffic and you can see why we're excited for this time of year!Bass Forecast
Smallmouth can be found in shallow water near rocks, points, docks, and other structure in the morning and evening hours. On cool days, they may be found in shallower depths all day long! On hotter days, (especially if it's sunny), you may go deeper and target points, walls and weedbeds adjacent to deeper water (10-25'). Poppers, clouser minnows, and crayfish patterns are all good bets! Fish in the Great Lakes often come shallower from 5-10' in late summer, making it a great time to find big fish!
Trout Forecast
With cooler weather arriving, we're excited to capitalize on some late summer trout! Many of our rivers have cooled to fishable temperatures. Keep an eye on temps, but there is definitely a window on cooler days to get out there!
Dries like small grasshoppers, beetles, and ants can work very well this time of year. Don't be afraid to try streamers in faster water as well!
Salmon
Salmon are showing up in numbers in the rivers! Get in touch with us and we can point you in the right direction for these large fish!
Egg, leech, baitfish, and worm patterns are all top producers, with larger and brighter flies being best when the rivers are higher following rainfall.
