Water Condition
Water Temperature  


Conditions : Northwest Penisula: Petoskey - Water temperatures were in the 60's, and that was in water over 120 feet deep. Lake trout could be found in 140 to 160 feet of water between Harbor Point and Seven Mile or Bay Harbor and the hospital.

Charlevoix - Salmon were slow however the lake trout bite was good just off the bottom in 120 to 150 feet of water. Use spoons, cowbells, or flasher/fly combos in green, blue or chartreuse. Smallmouth bass and the occasional walleye were caught on crawlers in the Pine River Channel.

Traverse City - The East Bay is still producing lake trout and whitefish. Catch rates in the West Bay continue to improve as boats are trolling for chinook and lake trout in waters at least 100 feet deep.

Frankfort - Catch rates have improved with chinook ranging from the high teens to the low twenty pound range. Fish were caught straight out in 160 to 200 feet of water, south to the Herring Hole and north to the point. The thermocline seems to be in 62 to 70 feet of water however the bigger fish seem to be holding in 90 to 100 feet of water. Spoons and J-Plugs are working well. Red and purple were hot colors. Meat rigs are also picking up a few fish.

Onekama - Chinook salmon have been caught 70 to 100 feet down in 160 to 180 feet of water straight out from the lighthouse. Spoons are still working. Try anything green or purple with lots of "flash." Small lake trout have also been caught.

Manistee - Boats are catching salmon 60 to 100 feet down in 120 to 180 feet of water. Try meat rigs with green spinnies and flies.

Ludington - Salmon have been caught between the Bath House and Big Sable Point. Anglers are using spinnies and flies in green or blue.

Pentwater - Had better salmon fishing in 105 feet of water off the Silver Lake Sand Dunes and around the points. A few lake trout have also been caught off the bottom.
