St. Ignace: At the Carp River cement footing pier, steelhead anglers had limited success. With how murky the water is, try casting spoons or crank baits with the colors: chartreuse, golds, silvers, or bronze. Smelt have been running at the Carp River for the past couple of weeks, however they were reported to have slowed. The DNR boat launch at the Pine River has not been put in yet. 

Grand Marais: Anglers fishing the break wall were starting to see some whitefish and coho salmon when using spawn. Boat anglers had success on coho salmon while trolling east of the break wall when the weather cooperated. There were also a few reports of anglers catching steelhead and coho salmon on the mouth and in the Sucker River. 

Munising: The docks have been put in at the city boat launch in Munising, but the parking lot is under construction. Parking can be found up on the street by the baseball field. Anglers on boats were catching good numbers of coho salmon when trolling the bay. Anglers also found some whitefish and coho salmon near the mouth of the Anna River using spawn and spoons. Bay Furnace shore anglers reported catching steelhead and coho salmon.

Au Train: The Au Train Brownstone boat launch dock was put in this week although it still needs dredging. The coho salmon and brown trout fishing was very good this past week. Several boat anglers trolling around the river mouths or near the shoreline points in 7 to 30 feet of water were successful in catching these fish. Both trolling and jigging anglers were successful. Bright green or orange/gold Rapalas, fire tiger, and rainbow trout were popular color schemes. Swedish pimples and white or orange jigs were successful for jigging

Marquette: Anglers fishing out of the lower harbor reported a mixture of success. Coho salmon seemed to trickle in on days after a warm rain and several boats were successful in catching 2 or 3 with the occasional brown trout mixed in. Most were caught in around 30 feet of water. In the upper harbor, anglers did quite well for coho salmon around the tip of the break wall and out towards White Rocks when trolling or jigging. The steelhead numbers were reported to have declined in both of the rivers around Marquette. Natural baits seemed to work best for the rivers and shoreline around Marquette. Most of the steelhead were caught on spawn sacs, while brown trout were loving the night crawlers.

Ontonagon River: One dock is currently in the water at the Ontonagon Marina Boat Launch. Angling efforts on the river remained very low over the past week. Water clarity was also reported as low due to recent precipitation.

Ontonagon/Silver City/Union Bay: There is one dock in the water at the Ontonagon Marina Boat Launch. The fish cleaning station at the Ontonagon Marina remains closed for the off-season. The Silver City boat launch dock remains out of the water. Fishing efforts from these ports greatly increased over the past week. Anglers fishing from boats had luck in catching mixed bags of coho salmon, lake trout, brown trout, and steelhead. These fish have been caught in fair numbers by those trolling shallow waters. Shore anglers in Union Bay had some luck when targeting coho salmon, brown trout, and steelhead. 

Black River Harbor: The harbor saw a good amount of angling efforts over the past week. Anglers fishing from the harbor break walls were successful in catching coho salmon in fair numbers. Boats trolling shallow waters reported mixed catches consisting of coho salmon, chinook salmon, lake trout, steelhead, and brown trout in fair numbers.

Little Bay de Noc: Perch anglers report mixed results. Windy conditions resulted in limited numbers of anglers going out. Perch anglers were fishing the narrows and the head of the bay. Smallmouth bass anglers targeted shallow, protected areas and river mouths with success.

Big Bay de Noc: Anglers fishing Garden Bay reported slow fishing. Smallmouth bass anglers reported fair to good fishing when casting for pre-spawn fish.
