: St. Joeseph River: The spring steelhead migration is coming to an end. There was an error last week in the fish passage numbers reported and the updated numbers are as follows. As of April 9th, a total of 3,875 steelhead have been counted moving through the South Bend fish ladder this spring. This brings the combined steelhead migration up to 8,306 fish since the run began last fall. Most fish being caught now are by anglers fishing the spawning beds. Reported by: Indiana DNR |

The St. Joe River and its tributaries drain approximately 2,600 square miles in
southwestern Michigan and 1,685 square miles in northern Indiana. Located
primarily in Elkhart and St. Joseph counties, the river is home to thirty-six
species of fish, as of a 1989 DNR survey.Angling opportunities are available for
a number of sport fish including smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, channel
catfish, rock bass, walleye and bluegill. The lower 13 miles of the river from
the state line upstream to the Twin Branch Dam also provides steelhead and
salmon fishing.
