Salmon are still being found throughout the river system. I will start looking for steelhead on the Pere Marquette River in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

Since salmon are still coming in from the Pere Marquette Lake, there are decent numbers being seen in Scottville and Custer sections of the river. Water is still really low and clear so it needs to rain soon. Crankbait continues to be successful in the morning, while skein and beads attract fish more during the […]

The Pere Marquette River saw water levels drop low and the water clear up this past week. Despite the forecast of sunshine and warm temperatures, hopefully rain will come soon. The numerous boats and people fishing along the shoreline have increased fishing pressure recently but there are small pods of fish moving through Scottville and […]

As Fall salmon season gets under way, new fishing reports for the Pere Marquette (PM) River will be posted soon. Stay tuned!

Fish are spawning in the upper section of the river. The lower end is high and dirty. We won't be back guiding on the PM River until late August for salmon. Don't wait too long to book your fall salmon trip as we only have a few open dates left available.

Spring steelhead are on the move through the whole system. The lower river was fishing good before the melt. It should improve when the water clears.

Most of the fish are in the mid-to-upper part of the river. We will not be back to this river until mid-August for the King Salmon.

The lower Pere Marquette River has had a lot of fish push up river recently but some are starting to stay. Fishing is getting better every day. We will see what the rain does to the river but fishing should improve over the next week.

There have been a few King Salmon in Pere Marquette (PM) Lake recently but no big numbers reported yet. We are just waiting for Lake Michigan to flip. After the lake flips, we should see a good number of Kings in the lower PM River and PM Lake. I am planning to start my King […]

Before heading to my last ice fishing tournament of the season, I called my good friend, Dave Ellis, to see if he had time to fish before headed out of town to work. We hit the lower Pere Marquette River around 3:30p; and with Dave’s first drift, he hooked and lost one. I got on […]
