Lake Michigan
**** Anglers and biologists report a fresh run of STT moved into Trail creek with fish jumping at the barrier and DNR passing 71 fish upriver on Trail Creek. Fresh fish were noted in the E and W branches of the Little Cal also. Spawn bags drifted just off the bottom through the deeper runs & pools followed by shrimp are the top producers. Orange, brass & silver spinners also caught aggressive fish in the same areas. Lots of activity over the weekend and a very strong run continues with fish found throughout the major watersheds.
St. Joseph River
Fresh Steelhead have begun the trek into the st. joe. water temperature was 70 and fish were observed in the South bend and Mishawaka ladders. Thourgh July 25th 224 steelhead have passed up river which began on July 3rd. This week we will update the numbers after reviewing the images from the South Bend ladder. A strong run is happerning on the lower st. joe so we expect to see good numbers in the Indiana portions of the river.
