A few salmon have been caught, but not in large numbers yet.  This is the latest salmon run in recent memory.  We are keeping our eyes peeled for production in the shipping lanes, Stony Point wall, Sandy Pond and the salmon River.  If this trend continues, we expect salmon season to run much past Labor day as well.

Lake trout fishing, on the other hand, was excellent, particularly off Stony Point finger, Calf spit and off Stony Creek in 95-145 feet.  Best attractors have been chartreuse-silver, chartreuse-red, silver laser green, monkey puke and watermelon. 

brown trout has been up and down, but some nice ones are being caught.  Best baits have been Stingers, NKs, Fishlanders or similar spoons in your normal chartreuse-red, silver-black, silver-green, silver-orange and silver-blue. 

Once again, Henderson Harbor has continued to produce some abundant and good-sized perch.  Live bait is best in 15-35 feet of water in front of Henchen marina, the Gill House, off Paradise Park, Association Island and Six Town Point. 

Bass fishing has been spotty.  Some of the better places to fish have been around Galloo Isalnd, around stony Island, calf Island spit, Chaumont Bay, Black River and Henderson Harbor.

Heavy winds and changeable weather has affected fishing on some days, but when the weather improves brown trout fishing was productive in some areas.  Best places were the shipping lanes, north and south Sandy Creek, Stony Creek and Sandy Pond in 80-130 feet of water.  Best baits were NK 28s and Michigan Stingers in black-silver-purple, black-silver, silver-banana and black-purple-white.

Lake trout fishing has been excellent off the finger.  Best depths were 100-145 feet using cowbells in watermelon, silver-chartreuse and silver-green with following spin & glo's, peanuts and Fireplugs in glo-green, glo-white and glo-blue. 

Bass fishing has been uneven, some days slow, others excellent.  Biggest problem has been with round gobies stealing bait. Still, fish for bass in the usual spots such as around Stony Island, Calf Island and Little and Big Galloo Islands. 

Walleye are in transition and hard to find right now.  Hopefully this will change soon.

Perch fishing continues to be highly productive.

King salmon fishing has begun to slowly pick up.  Areas where they show up first are the shipping lanes wall, Stony Point wall, the finger and south of Galloo and Calf Islands.  Best lures in the past couple of years have been Michigan Stingers, Northern Kings, Fishlanders and other similar spoons in black-silver, silver-banana, chartreuse-red or green-black.  Downriggers down 60-110 feet in 80-130 feet of water are the usual place to start.

Lake trout fishing has been good off the "finger" with most fish in or under the "slot."  Some of the best baits have been Flat Fish in glo-green, spin & glo's or peanuts in chartreuse-fire dot, glo-green, glo-blue and green on  lime green behind cowbells, silver-cracked ices, silver lue and silver chartreuse.

Brown trout fishing also continues to be good.  We've seen many nice catches with Michigan Stingers, NK 28s or similar spoons in silver-blacks, silver-purple, silver-orange and silver-blue at 40-90 feet of water.  Again, the most productive areas include Drowned Island, Sawyers Bay, Stony Creek, the head of Stony and Galloo Islands, Stony Point wall and Point Peninsula. 

Bass fishing has really picked up at all the normal places such as Gull and Bass islands, Black River, Chaumont Bay, Sawyers Bay, Stony, Galloo and Calf Islands.  Crabs and minnows are baits of choice. 

Perch fishing continues to be exceptional this year, with some very nice size ones off Bass and Gull Islands, Campbells Shoal, along the east shore above the Gill House in Henderson Harbor and Cherry Island, using worms or minnows.

Still not seeing much king salmon activity.  Expect that will change very soon.
