Garden River Report
Garden River Steelhead feeding on egg patterns.
I’m on my second to last day on the Garden River and the number of King Salmon continues to increase. We have more Chinook Salmon on gravel and moving up river than we’ve seen since Lake Huron crashed years ago. As I’ve mentioned before the Pink Salmon are big and available in big numbers. In the last two days on the section were are fishing we’ve hooked six steelhead and landed four!
The bite has been up and down, sunny days better than cloudy?? Go figure? Large Clown eggs, Alevin patterns and Caddis have preformed the best. Steelhead are eating Niagra Gold and Oregon Cheese.
Based on what I’m seeing I’m sure there are plenty of Kings and pinks in the public area.
We are now booking 2019 on the Garden River.
September 11-13 for adults, 14-15 for kids trip

PLEASE MAKE SURE IF YOU WADE THE ST MARY’S RAPIDS TO CLEAN YOUR WADERS AND BOOTS. THERE IS DIDYMO IN THE ST MARY’S, WE DON’T WANT IT IN THE GARDEN RIVER!
ALSO BE AWARE OF MOVING MUD SNAILS FROM THE PERE MARQUETTE OR AUSABLE TO OTHER RIVERS IN THE STATE. IF YOU FISH ONE RIVER THEN MOVE TO ANOTHER TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID TRANSFERRING INVASIVE SPECIES TO OTHE RIVER SYTEMS.
UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS THE REALITY FROM NOW ON WHENEVER YOU WADE.
