Fishing report
From the Michigan Department of Natural Resources
Upper Peninsula
Carp River and
Nunns Creek
Salmon fishing was in high gear as coho, pink and Chinook salmon were found concentrating in the mouth of Nunns Creek. Fishing was not as heavy on the Carp River upstream from the mouth. Anglers wearing waders were more successful because they could access a wider area to find active fish.
Little Bay de Noc
Fishing was slow as the wind was keeping anglers off the water.
Manistique
Anglers caught Chinook salmon while floating skein. Pink salmon fishing was good when drifting beads and casting artificial baits.
Marquette
Fishing activity increased, while lake trout were the most common species caught. A few anglers also reported catching salmon. Most lake trout were caught on spoons by anglers fishing from the white rocks in 60 to 90 feet of water. Lake trout were caught near Granite Island in water 150 feet deep or deeper using spoons and flickers. Anglers also reported salmon catches while trolling near the mouth of the Chocolay River to Shot Point. Try running high lines using rainbow/gold spoons for salmon. Anglers fishing the Chocolay River reported catching fish while fishing with spinners or floating spawn.
Munising Bay
Fishing effort was low due to the weather. Several anglers fishing the pier reported catching a few small splake.
Grand Marais
Very few anglers have been out due to conditions.
