Salmon

[Riverratpete]

Used to fish the North Shore rivers in the fall pretty hard years ago before the Salmon population went bust...hearing rumors..anybody?..anybody?..just a yes or no will suffice.

The kings are just starting their fall run and there are a lot of fish staging in front of the rivers. I'll be out tmrw fishing lakers but we might change the game and fish salmon. I'll try to give a post if we do anything amazing.

Riverratpete,

i have fished the north shore for the last four years or so, both fall and spring, and have had some success. From what i hear its not much compared to what it used to be but I had fun. I found that a good bet for salmon is a week before peak pink salmon run till a couple weeks afterwards. you should check out mndnr.com select fishing and scroll down to north shore fishing reports. It has a weekly post of how fisherman are doing all along the north shore. Let me know how ya did.

Later

I was out in the Bayfield area of northern cheeseland today and did pretty well. Landed to males and lost three hens. Saw lots of fish and will be back and forth over the next week or so. Saw some steelies and splake mixed in with the kings and cohos. Anyone else getting any fish in the creeks/rivers yet?

Hey Matt,

How'd you and Bill do on Saturday afternoon/Sunday morning? May be up in Bayfield for some steelheading soon and will let you know how I do.

Hey Bill.

We actually did awesome. Only got 7 trout and one salmon to the boat but we lost another salmon and like ten other trout...most just beyond the net. One of the trout was about 17 lbs. I lost a steelie yesterday and watched another guy land a 24" fish. I also lost three big female kings and landed two males...27 and 30 inches. I was fishing that at the place you checked out but didn't fish. The one my buddy was checking out the day we were on the boat. Secret spot you know. Well stay in touch and let me know when you're coming up I can do my best for an accurate report. Take Care!

Been out to a small creek along the south shore a couple times so far this fall and have been able to hook up with good numbers of very fresh kings, a few coho, and a few browns. Even with the low water levels it seems there are a lot of fish to be found. I have even saw a couple large coasters chasing each other around. i have only spotted one steelhead however, any reports of steelies out of the brule with any consistancy yet ?

Quick, I've been out that way a bit in the past week with some excellent success. Where I was fishing there were steelies, kings, cohos, splake...everything. I haven't been back to the brule in about a week now and nothing great was happening then i'm gonna give it another few days atleast before I go. Maybe with this rain more fish will be showing up. I sent you an e-mail did you ever get it? Let's meet up and kick some fin.
