Traverse City Fishing Report:

Lake Trout fishing remains really good. We have been having a lot of fun catching some beautiful fish, averaging 20-28 inches and seeing some over 10 pounds! Fishing anywhere from 80-100 feet pulling cowbells, meat rigs, and spoons on long lines. The normal colors with blue, green, and white all doing well at times. 

Salmon: there are more and more salmon coming especially now that we are approaching August. We already had one push of fish up the river according to a few friends that fish the Boardman. The “Hole” has been producing some salmon, but is has been really hit or miss. One morning you get a few bites next morning no action. The most consistent salmon action is coming along the walls fishing 100-120 feet of water. Later in the morning, try fishing over deep water 250-300 some suspended fish out there. Best luck this far has been meat rigs, and spoons. Big Weenie Brand “Spotted Dick Glow” “Spotted Dick UV” for meat rigs. As for spoons Green and Blue Dolphins have been good as well as the Moonshine RV series spoon. 

Get out there and get bit!
