Thunder Bay River - Fishing Report

[Fishing Report]

The salmon run continues. They are lined up at the Ninth Street Dam using spawn to catch chinook, coho and pink salmon. Many are fishing out in front of the dam in the deep hole, as the recent opening of chute #4 stirred things up. Some are fishing off the boardwalk or on Mill Island. A half dozen steelhead have been caught, but the fish are running on the small side. Try drifting flies just above the rapids near the bridge. Construction continues on the Ninth Street Bridge and new boardwalk. The bridge is closed to all crossing and there is no fishing allowed under it. Fletcher Street is also being worked on which is making access difficult.
