Upper Peninsula

• Ontonagon: Fishing picked up for lake trout in 5 to 25 feet. Anglers also caught salmon, brown trout and steelhead.

Lake Gogebic: Anglers caught walleye by casting, trolling, jigging and drifting natural or artificial lures. Live bait included minnows, leeches and crawlers. Good numbers of smallmouth bass and some panfish were caught.

• Keweenaw Bay: The smelt are starting to move out which has improved fishing. Those trolling near the shoreline caught a couple coho and brown trout. Near the South Entry, a couple coho and brown trout were caught when trolling along the shoreline and near the lighthouse. Those heading out to Stannard Rock reported very good lake trout fishing.

• Marquette: Fishing pressure was light but limits of lake trout were caught near the white rocks and Granite Island when fishing near the bottom at 200 feet or deeper.

• Menominee River: Was still running high and muddy because of 3 to 4 gates open. Anglers need to use caution as the strong current is causing problems for boat anglers. Musky were caught near the Interstate Bridge and Boom Island with large crank baits and spinners. Backwater areas were producing some nice smallmouth bass.

• Little Bay De Noc: Walleye action picked up with many fishing the head of the bay and into the Whitefish River when trolling or drifting a crawler harness in 12 to 28 feet. The “Narrows” and the mouth of the Escanaba River had anglers fishing in 14 to 30 feet. Perch anglers had fair catches near the Day’s River with wigglers or crawlers in 20 to 28 feet. Smallmouth bass were caught throughout the bay including off Garth Point, Hunters Point, the Gladstone area near US-2, the Escanaba River and the Ford River.

• Manistique River: Good numbers of walleye were reported in and around the mouth but only a couple salmon were seen.

• Au Train: Few anglers were out because of the weather.

• Munising: Boat anglers had mixed results as most targeted chinook or coho. Small lake trout and splake were caught near Sand Point when trolling shallow crank baits. Pier anglers caught a couple splake on spawn.

• Grand Marais: Boat anglers reported limit catches of lake trout with some over 10 pounds caught close to the bottom in 160 to 200 feet. Pier anglers caught whitefish that averaged 12 to 16 inches. Try a single egg.

• Tahquamenon River: Anglers caught rock bass and perch on worms and pike on red and white lures. There were no musky reports.

• St. Marys River: Walleye activity was slow around Sault Ste. Marie and Sugar Island but picked up in Munuscong Bay. Anglers were using a crawler harness in 3 to 5 feet in the upper river or trolling crank baits, stick baits and a crawler harness in the lower river.
