Salmon Fishing as Sport

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

By October, much of the fishing action has switched to the spawning rivers themselves, most of which are open to sport fishermen under very liberal regulations. In certain sections of streams, a somewhat restricted form of snagging is permitted, although the law calls it “accidental foul-hooking.” Officials figure it’s better for sport fishermen to utilize the salmon than have them spawn, die and go wasted. Michigan’s fishery program depends mostly on hatchery raised fish stocked each spring, and though natural spawning adds to the production, it isn’t absolutely necessary for good salmon fishing.

The regulations governing this brand of snagging, along with the streams open to it, are spelled out in the annual fishing digest provided with the fishing license.

From south to north in the Lower Peninsula, these are the streams which host spawning runs and are generally open to fishing: St. Joseph, Kalamazoo, Grand, Muskegon, Pere Marquette, Big Manistee, Little Manistee (open for steelhead fishing only above the state harvest weir) and Platt (closed until late fall). Other stocked streams are too small to be open to general fishing pressure, although the river mouth areas are usually open. The Menominee, Whitefish, Carp, Big Cedar and Manistique Rivers in the Upper Peninsula are most often open, too.

Along Lake Superior, most of the fishing action continues offshore at the river mouths throughout the season. The better spots include (from east to west): Grand Marais (Sucker River), Munising (Ana River), Marquette (Chocolay), Big Huron Bay (Big Huron), Keweenay Bay and Black River Harbor (Presque Isle).

Salmon seem little inclined to take artificial lures during spawning runs, so most anglers use such bait as spawn sacks (salmon eggs tied in small nylon bags), nightcrawlers and wigglers, all available in local bait stores. These are usually fished right on the bottom with enough split shots to keep them rolling on the bottom of holes where salmon rest in their passage upstream. Some fluorescent-orange or yellow lures work at times, but most fishermen finally resort to snagging. Where dams block upstream passage, snagging a limit of five salmon isn’t hard.

If you’d like a crack at a really big chinook, your choices are still somewhat limited. Most big kings were taken last season at the south end of Manistee Lake where the Little Manistee Rivers enters. There was literally a carpet of boats at the spot, nearly everyone still-fishing on the bottom with spawn or night crawlers. To actually land one of the 30-pounders in that maze was quite an experience.

The Muskegon River hosts plenty of big chinook, too, but after they pass through Muskegon Lake, most are taken by snaggers from holes along the way to Croton Dam upstream.

Up-to-date salmon fishing information is available seven days a week from the state’s “hotline” number in Lansing. The state’s “Michigan Campground Directory” is a free pamphlet listing every public campground in the state (write Publications Room, Michigan Dept. of Natural Resources, Stephens T. Mason Bldg., Lansing).

Tourist accommodation information is available from the West Michigan Tourist Association or the Upper Peninsula Tourist Association. Michigan fishing licenses cost $3.10 for residents and $6.10 for non-residents annually. A trout and salmon stamp adds $2.10 for residents and $3.10 for non-residents. Seven day permits are $3.10 and $5.10 respectively, and a one-day tag for all fishermen goes for $1.10. Take your pick.

Different Techniques in Salmon Fishing

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

Another reason for heavier tackle – if you can’t use downriggers – is the amount of lead needed to put lures where the salmon are. No one can say for sure how deep salmon will be at any one time. Fifty- to 55-degree water can be anywhere from the surface to 150 feet. Both a thermometer and a fathometer will help you pinpoint this level and the fish.

But if you have none of that fancy stuff, remember these figures: four ounces of lead takes a lure down about 10 feet, eight ounces to 20 feet, 12 to 40 feet, 16 to 60 feet and 20 ounces to 80 feet. They’re based on letting out 150 feet of 15-pound-test monofilament from your boat.

Such a load of lead takes some of the zip out of a salmon fight, though, so many anglers opt for the “slip-sinker” devices sold in most local tackle stores. These release the lead when salmon hit, leaving an unweighted line between fisherman and fish. On days like the two previously mentioned, you’d need a good supply of sinkers, obviously.

Other anglers favor the planning devices that work something like airplane wings when pulled through the water. They’re angled to drag trailing lures downward in the water when trolled. These, too, are available in local tackle shops, complete with full directions for their use.

I have seen late-summer salmon take lures right on the surface and I’ve also seen them hang 150 feet down, if lack of wind has allowed the big lakes to stratify – cooler temperatures sinking deeper down. If indications are that fish are much below 80 feet, you’d be better off with the traditional wireline outfits used to take lake trout from deep bottom shoals. Fortunately the fish are seldom that far down.

There are perhaps as many lures purported to catch salmon as there are salmon. Surprisingly enough, when the fish are really hitting, most of these lures will work. But the favorite baits of charterboatmen are Tadpollies, Flatfish, Rapalas, Dardevles, Bayou Specials, Manistee Wobblers, Burke Tail-Spins, Canadian Wonder Spoons, Williams Wabblers and Bolo, Mepps and Hep Spinners.

Silver and silver-blue combinations probably take the most salmon. But fluorescent orange, yellow, white, red-and-white, fluorescent lime-green, gold and combinations of these often work, too.

Generally speaking, as spawning time approaches the salmon schools move even closer to parent streams, becoming more accessible inshore. It’s then that such hotspots as Platte Bay, north of Frankfort around Pointe Betsie, begin to produce large catches and give smaller boats a better chance.

Grand Traverse Bay, particularly along the west arm from Traverse City up to Northpoint, picks up steadily as fall approaches, and Little Traverse Bay off Petoskey switches from a lake trout to a salmon society.

Several relatively uncrowded – and as yet unproven – spots exist in fairly protected waters along Lake Michigan’s Upper Peninsula shoreline. Little Bay de Noc (the nearest large town is Escanaba) hosts returning salmon by September, headed for the Whitefish River. Salmon have been planted in the Big Cedar northeast of Menominee on the Wisconsin line. The Menominee River has salmon, too.

September usually marks the start of spawning runs at Thompson Creek, near Manistique  in the Upper Peninsula. A mixture of early-spawning Alaska strain cohos and regular west coast U.S. fish have been stocked here. Fishing from small boats or while wading off the river mouth is often excellent. St. Martins Bay north of St. Ignace in the Straits on Mackinac is another good bet. The Carp River there hosts one bunch of returning salmon, a new access road has been built, and fishermen have been ignoring it. In prevailing winds, St. Martins offers good protection inshore for smaller boats.

Inland lakes through which salmon must pass to reach spawning streams shouldn’t be overlooked, either. Both coho and chinook will enter these in many cases by late September and passage of fish continues through October. Better bets include Muskegon, Manistee Lake at Manistee, Loon and Platte Lakes on the Platte River (the river itself is usually closed to fishing until late fall since egg-taking operations are underway at the upstream hatchery), and Lake Charlevoix and Boyne City.

We should say a word about pesticide levels, too, since DDT use by agricultural interests has found its way into fish here as well as elsewhere around the country.

The number of salmon usually eaten by most individual fishermen and their families each year isn’t enough to cause any worry over pesticides – although levels in fresh fish of the mature size make them unmarketable according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Most of this pesticide residue concentrates in the fat of the fish, and by cutting away the belly flanks, skin and meat along the backbone you can eliminate most of it.  Practically all the remainder is gone after the fat drips away from a broiling fillet.

So there’s no need to avoid eating your catch, at least according to the best studies to date. Of course the salmon are delicious.

Fishing In Early Spring

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

If you’d prefer the expertise of a professional skipper, charterboats can be found in nearly all the towns mentioned, with the largest single fleet berthed at Black River Harbor, about 12 miles from Bessemer, Michigan. Rates are usually a bit cheaper than downstate Michigan, too.

Throughout Lake Michigan, June and early July find most fishermen concentrating on lake trout, a species that has recovered remarkably since the lamprey era, thanks to a federal stocking program. In fact, you’re liable to find an occasional laker in your salmon catch all season long, especially if the salmon are deep and you fish near bottom.

In past years, there’s always been a slump in salmon fishing from mid-June to mid-July. Fish are still caught, of course, but they move further offshore, and only the larger boats usually run the 8, 10 or even 20 miles to the big schools of fish. Most of this action comes between Benton Harbor and Muskegon on the Michigan side, progressing slowly northward with the passage of summer.

Frankly, no one theory has fully explained this phenomenon. The salmon certainly are there. And some biologists think that a great many salmon actually don’t migrate to the southern end of the lake in spring, but stay offshore in northern waters. If so, few fishermen are catching them and many are trying for lake trout. Nobody can say for sure why the fish seem to move out in the lake, either. The occasional salmon is caught inshore, even from breakwaters by perch fishermen. But there’s no denying that major schools of cohos are somewhat scarce in early summer.

Season of Salmon fishing

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

Throughout the midsummer period, salmon gain weight rapidly (two-thirds of their total weight at spawning is put on in wild feeding frenzies the last four months of their lives). They gradually become more available, too, showing up inshore along Lake Michigan from Muskegon up past Ludington, Manistee, Frankfort, Platte Bay, around into Grand Traverse Bay and off Charlevoix. Prime salmon fishing begins to peak by early August, if weather conditions are stable, improving weekly in a northward pattern. Arrival of the first big schools does vary from year to year, however, and until late August a telephone call could eliminate a useless auto trip.

The fishing from this time until October, when most of the spawning runs begin, can be nothing short of fabulous. Two days last August proved that to me.

I’d traveled to Ludington at the invitation of Skipper Mary DeWitt who heads the West Michigan Charter Service there. “You can’t believe how the fish are coming in,” he’s said on the telephone the night before. “I’m filling limits for two parties a day – and I could catch more!”

Not being hard to convince, I was aboard Mary’s boat by dawn as we headed out a full ten miles offshore. Mary uses a specialized device called a “downrigger” that enables him to keep several trolled lures at exact depths practically under the boat’s stern. Tests with a thermometer showed the preferred water temperature to be at 40 to 70 feet, and blips on the boat’s recording fathometer indicated that it was the best depth for fish.

Setting seven lines takes a few minutes. But Mary hadn’t put the fourth one down when the first broke loose from its downrigger, a coho swirling wildly behind the boat as it rose to the surface. Fifteen minutes later we lost two more and then boated a second one, then tallied three more quickly. All around us boats were netting fish, filling coolers with cohos weighing between 8 and 18 pounds.

A full hour’s lull allowed us to stow gear and settle down, but then we hit another school of fish – or found the first school again – and bouncing rods and aching wrists were the order of the morning. The limit for three of us was 15 fish, and we lost quite a few that struck and were gone. But we still managed to lay 14 fish on the cleaning dock by noon, and it was then I discovered that one of our catch was a fat 12-pound steelhead no one had noticed in the flurry of activity, since cohos and steelhead look much alike.

Conventional Method of Fishing

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

The most conventional method of fishing is trolling, from all manner and size of boats. Popular lures are usually the minnow immitators, such as Tadpollies, Flatfish and Rapalas in smaller sizes, along with small to medium spoons and spinners. Silver, blue, gold, white, fluorescent orange – all these colors (singly or in combination) seem to work well. Streamer flies trolled separately or in combination with chrome dodgers or flashers (to attract attention) can be used on fly rods, especially if your boat has some type of outrigger setup, conventional or home-made.

Evidence seems to indicate, too, that these lures and the trolling method work best once the water has warmed near 50 degrees. In colder water a simple worm fished on the bottom off piers, breakwaters and boats seems to work well with the sluggish early-season fish. Pier fishing also pays off later, when live bait and lures are cast in the shallows. The thousands of warm water factory discharges and river or drainage channel outlets (cohos seem impervious to pollution for a short while) attract the salmon even closer to shore. Chicagoans take home salmon from the waterfront before or after their work shifts.

Trollers will find they don’t need much in the way of sinkers, either. Spring salmon stay pretty close to the surface and have no trouble coming after what they want. Four ounces of lead can destroy much of the fun on light tackle, for instance, and it only gets the lure down about ten feet under the surface.

Of course, springtime accommodations along the southern Lake Michigan shoreline are probably more plentiful than anywhere else where Great Lakes salmon fishing is found. Many Hoosiers head for the Michigan City area to do their fishing, a spot where tackle shops, marinas and the city administration promotes the heck out of it. Up into Michigan, the New Buffalo, Benton Harbor, St. Joseph, South Haven and Holland areas have everything the visiting angler needs.

But if Southern Lake Michigan’s compacted population isn’t your cup of tea, the next best spring salmon fishing can be found along the spectacular Lake Superior shoreline of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands.

You’ll have to wait until late May when weather and water temperatures improve a bit. But if past years are any indication, you’ll have the fishing pretty much to yourself. The entire Superior shoreline is relatively wild and uncluttered. Spectacular scenery provides the background, and the pristine crystal waters in most areas of the lake are a delight.

May and early June – in fact, the period through August – finds cohos hanging up on the inshore shallows or in the top 40 feet of water with a great many lake trout and steelhead (lake-run rainbow trout). Frankly, the lake trout is the leading sport species, but few days pass without hitting schools of salmon. Again, it’s light tackle fishing with the trolling methods mentioned earlier working for all three species of fish, and trolling with little or no sinkers will tend to produce more salmon and steelhead than lakers.

Cohos will be small, perhaps between one and three pounds all summer. Cold water conditions and no alewife population account for smaller fish in Lake Superior. Water temperatures seldom exceed 48 degrees even in early September, and fish grow at much slower rates. Since there have been few chinook planted in the lake, you needn’t worry too much about larger salmon tearing up your light tackle.

But, if you decide to add some weight to your lines, beware of the lakers. Four to eight pounds is a common range for lake trout here, with plenty of 12- and 15- pounders caught each season. I once witnessed a spring salmon fisherman land an unexpected 25- pound laker with very skillful manipulations of his tackle.

Considering the remoteness of this beautiful area, accommodations are surprisingly plentiful, probably because of the long standing popularity with summer tourists. Federal and state campgrounds are unbeatable (and usually uncrowded) in both parks and forests. Major ports for boat launching include (from east to west): Grand Marais, Munising, Marquette, L’ Anse, Ontonogan and Black River Harbor, all the Upper Peninsula, and Ashland and Bayfield in Wisconsin. There are a few marinas on the Apostle Island, too, reached by auto ferry from Bayfield.

You Haven’t Fished Until You’ve Fished in Canada

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Canada is one of the most beautiful places to vacation; from some of the most beautiful scenery in the world to a very abundant fish and wildlife country. The Canadians take pride in their land and they are very helpful to the tourist who come to fish and hunt. If you love the outdoors, you’ll love the wide variety of rivers and ponds, freshwater lakes, and saltwater streams that Canada has to offer. Canada is the place to visit.

Canada’s wide variety of Salmon is what makes fishing enjoyable. There are Chum, Coho, Sockeye and the Chinook salmon in their lakes and streams and because Canada is so far north the temperature in those lakes and streams are efficient enough to keep the salmon plentiful year round. If you are not familiar with salmon fishing you can always purchase guides that specialize in salmon fishing. Be sure to find the guides that are written especially for Canada. These guides can also introduce you to the fishing population along all three coasts of Canada. The Arctic, Atlantic and Pacific oceans offer a variety of salt water fishing that includes shark and tuna.

Canada is divided up into two types of fishing groups. You have Salt Water Fishing and Lake Water Fishing. You can purchase gear for both types of fishing in merchant shops all over Canada. So if you are not quite prepared for all of these types of fishing that Canada offers you always find what you need when you get there.

You’ll also find that you would like to experience Ice Fishing. Ice fishing requires special gear and safety regulations and clothing. So be sure to check on what Ice Fishing is all about while you are there.

When you go to Canada to fish, pick up your fishing license and asked for the guides that can tell you what is required of you when you fish, what Canada’s regulations are, the most popular type of fishing for the time of year you are there and what you need to do that type of fishing with and a map to find it.

Kokanee Salmon Ice Fishing – 4 Tips For Catching This Delicious Breed

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Because it is a land-locked variety, Kokanee salmon are more easy to find than other types that are hard to find, especially during the spawning season. Large isolate natural areas are the best places to go Kokanee salmon ice fishing, so you’re likely to do better in the Northwestern U.S., Alaska, and Canada. Montana brags about the great Kokanee salmon ice fishing it offers.

The size of Kokanee salmon depends on the density of their population and the abundance of food. They thrive at all depths in cold, clear lakes and reservoirs, and the spawn over gravel and sand at the lower end of tributaries or at the lake shore. Kokanee salmon swim in compact schools and feed on zooplankton. Males have bright red to dirty-red gray backs and sides, their head is bright olive green, and their tail is black. Females are much the same, but their colors are not as bright. Kokanee salmon range from 10 to 18 inches long.

The U.S. Army has developed some basic advice for safe ice fishing. After you have these safety tips down, you’re ready to go Kokanee salmon ice fishing. First, you should be in good physical condition to endure the extreme temperatures and to have the best chance of surviving dangerous situations like falling through the ice. Second, you should wear durable clothing that protects from wind, freezing temperatures, and precipitation. But your clothing must not be so cumbersome as to create a hazard if you should fall though the ice. To avoid this dangerous situation, wear a flotation device while ice fishing, something like an inflatable vest or jacket. Third, carry equipment to measure the depth of the ice layer and items for rescue or self-rescue like an ice pick or chisel.

The Army also offers some procedural advice for safety:
- Never go out on the ice alone and never go on the ice if there is any question of safety. Always let someone know where you are going and how long you intend to be there.
- Know what the temperature has been for several days before your trip and keep an eye on the temperature while you are ice fishing.
- Look for areas of open water to avoid and listen for cracks or booms that may indicate unsafe ice thickness.
- If you’re going on the ice in a group, always stay at least 10 feet apart so you don’t put too much weight on one spot of ice.

Kokanee salmon ice fishing is best done during the coldest part of the winter, when large lakes are frozen over. They’ll be more easy to catch near the center of the lake where you can reach the deepest parts of the lake. You’ll probably have the best luck in Alaska and northwest Canada, but many areas in the lower 48 area also good for Kokanee salmon ice fishing. Nevada’s Lake Tahoe is a popular spot because it’s a deep freshwater lake where Kokanee salmon abound because they have plenty of space for breeding. There are also some great spots in Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, Montana and Colorado.

Before you go on your Kokanee salmon ice fishing trip, be sure to check local regulations. There are many places that ban the practice, for example Crater Lake and Guelph Lake. While you can do some Kokanee salmon ice fishing in New York’s lakes, it is heavily regulated in that state. Be sure to check with the state’s fish and wildlife departments to find out if Kokanee salmon ice fishing is allowed there.

Fishing in Canada

Monday, December 21st, 2009

If you would like to experience real adventure in fishing, then Canada is the perfect location for you. Canada has a wide area of rivers, ponds, freshwater lakes, saltwater and streams. Freshwater and saltwater fishing are the favorite pastimes of Canadians and tourists. Fish in Canada including wildlife are very abundant. Canada offers a lot of first-class fishing trips that will make the most out of your time and money. There would not be any reason that you might be disappointed.

Canada has the ideal water where the fish are abundant. There are also plenty of shops and establishments that sell fishing gear and tools for fishing. Fishing in Canada is divided in two groups. That is the Lake Water Fishing and the Salt Water Fishing. The two groups are totally different especially in Canada.

The most famous fishing in Canada is the Salmon Fishing, which is enjoying and rewarding. Salmon varieties that are abundant in Canada are the Coho, Sockeye Salmon, Chinook and the chum. Salmon are known for their size and beauty. Many fishing guides in Canada specialize in the adventure of Salmon Fishing.

Saltwater fishing is popular in the 3 coasts of Canada. They are the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic Oceans. This is a chance for shark and tuna fishing. A lot of big saltwater fish are caught only on deep seas and that is what the 3 coasts offer.

Canada is also known for fly fishing. Fly fishing, which is an older type of sport fishing, is about catching a fish using an artificial lure called a “fly.” Many resorts and establishments in Canada offer great packages on fly fishing.

Ice Fishing is also an option for you if you would like to experience fishing in Canada. There are also ice fishing guides that could assist you in your trip. They will ensure your safety and enjoyable experience in Canada. Ice fishing requires special gear, outfits and techniques that require the help of a skilled ice fishing guide. Many tourists who come to Canada for ice fishing can rent ice huts to keep them warm and away from wind.

For tourists who would like to experience ice fishing in Canada, it is always recommended that you come along with fishing guides that are specialized on each fishing type. It is also advised to bring a compass, cell phones and flashlights as safety device and for emergency purposes.
