Garden River Report
First Day on the Garden River today. As you can see success was had by all!
Bright sun and low, very clear water didn’t make the fishing easy but we did have decent numbers on and a few to the net.
Bright crystal eggs, in orange, fire tiger and peach were the top producers.
So far it appears that we have a good run of Pinks, some of them quite large and the kings are both large and have increased in numbers substantially.
Friday we had good rainfall, maybe one half an inch. That caused large numbers of pinks and kings to come flying up river. We also hooked at least one steelhead and maybe two. I expect Sunday the river will be reshuffled and we will have more fish around.
I’ll post another report Sunday night with more info.
Tight lines,
Capt. Chuck
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.
