Upper Peninsula

• Copper Harbor: Anglers continue to catch splake however the action did slow, and many were sub-legal. A few lake trout, steelhead and brown trout were being caught out on the big lake, but anglers were doing a lot of trolling.

• Keweenaw Bay: Anglers caught salmon, splake and lake trout when they could find colder water. Those fishing deeper water in Huron and Traverse Bay caught lake trout and the occasional salmon.

• Marquette: Fishing is starting to pick up as anglers were getting coho, steelhead, brown trout, lake trout and even a couple Chinook salmon near the river mouths and between the White Rocks and Granite Island. Salmon were found in 30 to 60 feet and lake trout in 100 to 160 feet however few limit catches to report. Surface water temperatures were in the low 60’s. A small number of fish were still being caught in the Chocolay, Carp and Dead rivers. The Chocolay and Carp rivers produced coho.

• Little Bay De Noc: Walleye anglers reported spotty catches. The better action was at the mouth of the Escanaba River and the “Black Bottom” with a crawler harness or stick baits in 24 feet. Only a few perch were caught but some were nice jumbo’s taken by walleye anglers trolling a crawler harness. Good smallmouth bass action near Butler Island, Hunters Point and Squaw Point with tube baits or crank baits in 4 to 8 feet. A few salmon anglers tried the Ford River, but no fish were caught. A couple salmon were spotted in the Escanaba River, but no catches were reported.

• Manistique River: Good numbers of brown trout were caught up near the dam with beads, yarn or spawn. Chinook, coho and pink salmon were reported in the same area and anglers were also using crank baits or skein. Two gates up near the dam were open so the flow was fast but fishable. Boat anglers were trolling crank baits where the fast water meets the slower water or when anchoring near the holes and casting spawn.

• Munising: Had a handful of boat anglers that reported poor catch rates with only a couple coho found off the Anna River. The occasional splake was caught but most were sub-legal.

• Drummond Island: A few perch were caught in Scott Bay between Peck Island and Rutland Island in 14 to 18 feet when jigging on the bottom with shiners or worms on a beaded spreader.
