Little Bay de Noc: Anglers reported slow fishing when targeting perch and attributed the slow fishing to the cold front that moved in this week. Anglers used wigglers and minnows on jigs, as well as small shiny bait holder style lures, such as spoons with wax worms or cut bait. Most anglers fished the upper bay where they felt the ice was more trustworthy.

Munising: The coho salmon bite was good for anglers throughout the bay. Anglers targeting perch did well, catching good numbers. Anglers reported many undersized splake, with a few larger ones mixed in. The whitefish bite was slow but picked up slightly. For nighttime anglers, the smelt and burbot bite was steady. Popular baits included wax worms and minnows.

Keweenaw Bay: Anglers reported fair numbers of lake trout, cisco, and coho salmon being caught. Success was also noted by those targeting burbot and smelt while night fishing during the last week. Some anglers had success catching splake, along with the occasional rainbow trout. Whitefish anglers reported slow fishing.

Marquette: Fishing in all areas was slow due to ice from inclement weather received during the week. There were a few coho salmon caught out on the breakwall on days when the ice allowed. There were a few brown trout and steelhead caught on the breakwall this week.

The Carp River was too shallow and icy early in the week, but as it warmed up, there was more area to cast. Steelhead were expected to start moving back up the river as the river mouth began to open. If fishing around the mouth did not produce, anglers moved further up the river, as a few fish had been reported moving past the prison.

The Chocolay River was slow this week since water levels dropped. The only good action reported came from boat anglers heading upriver. Once the ice pushed out and the river mouth opened up, more fish made their way back up the river.

Au Train: The Au Train River mouth was blocked by ice, making it inaccessible as of Tuesday and leaving no real area to fish. As soon as the river opened back up, coho salmon fishing returned to the excellent conditions seen before the storm. The fish that had been observed were all caught near the mouth of the river along the ice cliffs. Most were caught using jigs with wax worms or floating spawn eggs.
