River Fishermen

Do any of you non-charter guys fish tributaries to Lake Michigan? I fish the St. Joe out of Shamrock Park.

Harry, A warm to the GLF site.

Welcome Harry. I moved the question over to the River section.

I do not, but there are many here that do. Hopefully some will chime in.

[Paulywood]

I do fish some of the rivers but from shore/wading. No boat. Terry (Dirty Dog) has been pounding the K-zoo for the last week. He might be too busy fishing right now to chime in.

I fish the Kalamazoo all winter from shore when I am not hunting coyotes !

[EdB]

We fish the St Joe and Kzoo a lot in the winter.

I fish the black river & pier in South Haven. Lost a steelhead this morning had it hooked up and next to the pier. It swam into the rocks that are next to the pier and broke the leader. If I wasn't alone I would have had him. I was kicking myself for even considering landing him in that spot while alone. Live and learn I guess.

I fish the pere marquette manistee and the betsie rivers. I know the pere marquette the best. All three are great rivers, and all three full of steel right now. The only problem is they are outside of their banks right now due to all the rain. When the water levels start coming down "hopefully friday", the fishing will improve.

Kalamazoo, grand, black, Joe, pentwater, and a couple so tiny that I won't even park near them. Fished the 'zoo for a big hour Saturday afternoon before my youngest, well my formerly youngest daughter timed out and hooked three.

I drift/backtroll/wander aimlessly the St Joe river and wade below the Niles and Berrien Springs dam. Walleye have been plentiful this week below the Niles dam. I haven't been out on my river boat recently but word of mouth is the river has cleared of debris well this last week and has made the boat fishing more productive.
