    Holland 10-2 am

    in Michigan Waters Fishing Reports - Salmon and Trout

    Posted

    Fished 7am-2pm. The morning started out pretty nasty. Very thick fog and a light rain kept me from going out to far from the piers. The lake definitely flipped with the cold water being in tight. This is my first skunk of the year. Fished the piers and all the way out to 100 with nothing to show. Used every spoon / flasher I had in the boat that has worked in the past running mainly small spoons. Only real marks I had were in 60fow. I found two big bait balls and did figure 8's around them at all speeds and directions. A couple other guys I heard had the same luck as I. Hopefully the lake sets back soon or else the boat is going away for the season.

    Started the afternoon at 3pm. On our way out we stopped in 80 fow and just started looking for marks and got out to 100 fow with very few marks. Powered out to 130fow and set lines on a SE heading and slowly worked our way into 90fow with nothing but a rip. Worked our way out to 130fow again (about an hour before sunset at this point) and finally started taking hits. Took 3 fish by sunset (lake trout, small king, and a decent size steelhead). All hits were taken below 60' down with no real pattern. Heard of a guy who went all the way out to 160 with no luck. Most people had luck in the 130-140 fow range. Wave forecast was definitely off so I decided to not fish the moonlight in my little 16' deep V. Hopefully all the big kings aren't all in the river at this point because I'd like to get a chance at them again this week. Overall, it was better than an evening at work.

    Holland 8-9 Am

    Started off this morning at 0430. Noticed the water was much colder in shallow than the buoy was showing. Tons of marks between 40-70 so we set up in 50 on a SW heading. As soon as the light hit the horizon we took a quad in 70fow losing two and my favorite DW paddle in the process. We slowly worked our way out to 90fow by 10am when we pulled lines. Went 5 for 9 after all was said and done. Ran 5 flasher flies and 1 spoon. Poofster and pickled sunshine were the hot fly pattern. Flounder pounder took hits as well. Didn't take a hit below 60' down. The current is moving quite fast so we had to vary our speed a bunch between 2.5-4. 57aa34a6384ed_ImageUploadedByGreatLakesF57aa34b19fc13_ImageUploadedByGreatLakesF

    Started in 60fow straight out and slowly made our way to 200fow by the afternoon. Took a couple lakers, a coho, and a very acrobatic steelhead in 80-90fow. Hits were on spin doctors on the bottom and a custom looking orange DW spoon that Salmon Addiction gave to us that morning. Besides 80-90 we had very few marks. Probably should have fished the piers. Hopefully the next couple weeks fishing heats up. 57745ba4032c4_ImageUploadedByGreatLakesF57745c7d21fc5_ImageUploadedByGreatLakesF

    Fished holland afternoon from 10-3. Set up in 190 just north of holland and trolled south. Once we hit 205 consistent action started. Downrigger with BLL hawg wild down 35' took one and missed one. Dipsy divers out 71' and 91' took a hit each but only got one in with hawg wild and blue dolphin. Downrigger down 125 with big white paddle and poofster fly took three hits taking 2 kings. The third king (we're pretty sure) spooled us out to 500 then proceeded to break the leader off the fly. Very nice day until the wind started to kick up a bit. 2 kings a coho and a steel.

    Started the day off in 60fow with marks on the bottom but no takers. Worked our way out to 125 and that's where it came alive. Consistent hits and marks between 125 to 150.

    0/1 DR down 60 purple SS

    0/2 3 color Steelie stomper SS

    1/2 2 color Steelie Dan SS

    All hits were on a south troll 2.7 sog. Just couldn't seem to keep them buttoned up today. Also had a ton of marks on the bottom and threw everything except the rod at them and couldn't get them to bite. All in all the weather made our last trip of the season a great one.
