River Fishing in Saugatuck

[westrate]

10/25/2006

We are done fishing for the season and the boat has been pulled and is in storage until next year. The last two weeks produced high winds and rough water almost every day and we never got a chance to get out and fish. The water should be cooling down and reports that I received say that some steelhead and small salmon are being caught in 30 to 50 foot of water, however the fishing is slow.

The report from the Kalamazoo River is that some steelhead are starting to show up with an occasional salmon. The water is high with all the rain in the last two weeks and the leaves are falling making the river appear solid leaves. This makes fishing the river very difficult. Once most of the leaves are off and the water recedes, the steelhead fishing will improve.

Check back and see what is happening on the Kalamazoo River and possibly other rivers in the area.

Thanks Ron, for taking the time and posting a weekly report this summer. We look forward to them next year.
