Fishing Report Traverse City 

Fishing has been absolutely fantastic! We have had great success on limits of lake trout all month long! We have had some salmon, and steelhead action as well. 

We have been fishing pretty much every where south of the island. The “white walls”, the “east side”, “Green Can Bank”, “south island bank”, have all produced big numbers of fish. Fishing them any where from 30 feet to 80 seems to be the most consistent. The fish are just starting to move out into some deeper water however. I am not sure how long they will be holding in the shallower water could be any day they will move out. 

Fishing primarily spoons by Warrior Lures, and Michigan Stinger primarily. Colors have been the normal stuff colors like Salmon Candy, Green Dolphin, Blue Dolphin, NBK GREEN, Steelhead Candy, Orange Crush all have had their shining moments.

Flashers have played a part on days as well. Chrome Spin Doctors with any color Spin n Glow have produced well on down riggers. Big Weenie Brand 10″ Weiners have been good in Blue Balls, Spotted Dick, NFN, I have been fishing those with either blue/green crinkle flys, or spin n glows.

There are a lot of fish to be had by everyone in West, and East Bay! Get out there and go get them!
