Thunder Bay River

[Fishing Report]

Most of the boat anglers in Alpena are sticking to the river and hoping to catch a couple early run salmon when trolling cut bait, J-plugs, dodgers and spoons. While some are starting at the mouth of the river and heading up to Fletchers, others are going out early in the morning to the First Buoy in the Bay. The Ninth Street Dam is still under major repair with a great deal of construction activity in the area. It appears that Fletcher Street and Second Street will also be closed for a while which means the launch site will most likely be closed as well.
