Northeast Lower Peninsula

Harrisville: A few coho salmon and a couple of Chinook salmon were caught in the harbor this week, along with a few steelhead. There were a lot of fish in the harbor, but few were willing to bite. Fire-tiger spoons, #3 pink Mepps, and chunks of skein under a bobber produced the most fish.

Alpena: Those targeting salmon from the pier reported fishing as very slow. The occasional Atlantic salmon was caught while casting spoons in green/silver, blue/silver, and orange.

Thunder Bay River: Good numbers of Chinook salmon and coho salmon were reported throughout the river. Drifting spawn under bobbers and beads was reported as successful. A few Atlantic salmon were caught while casting spinners and small spoons, with bright colors being the most effective. A fair number of smallmouth bass were caught throughout the river while casting spinners, crankbaits, and tube jigs.
