Fishing Report For Bow Opener
Interlochen- Warm weather continues and the fishing is getting better with smallmouth bass, walleye and perch biting in the inland lakes. The rivers have many salmon, and the fishing seems to be getting better with some rain today. Baldwin is reporting many salmon are in the river and spawn is working best.

FROM PILGRIM VILLAGE FISHING SHOP
It’s a great time to fish our lakes. Weeds are dying, little boat traffic; the shore line has its autumn color - no excuses.
Pike are hitting spinner baits aggressively; fish the edges of the healthiest weed lines. Jerry Pratt from Lapeer shows off a healthy 30 incher. Lots of numbers; lots of action.
See photograph of 6 year old Dylan Brocht. He caught his first walleye, a 16 incher, while fishing on nearby Rose Lake.
Even though John Culp is recovering from a recent operation, he has to fish. He caught his limit of salmon at Grand Traverse Bay.
Salmon are stacking up on the Manistee River. Glow flies and glow wobble glos have been very effective. Most of the fish are in good shape. Fresh, chrome ones are still coming up. Hearing of lots of limits.
