Chinook Salmon
Chinook Salmon fishing near Beverly Shores, Indiana, is all about timing and understanding Lake Michigan's thermocline. Fall is undoubtedly the peak season, as mature Chinook stage near shore before their spawning runs. These fish are aggressive and powerful, offering a thrilling angling experience. Focus your efforts near the mouths of rivers and streams that feed into the lake; these are natural staging areas for the salmon. Trolling with spoons or flasher/fly combinations is a common and effective technique. A local tip: the Port of Indiana-Burns Harbor offers boat launch facilities. Also, be prepared to adjust your depth based on the thermocline, as Chinook will often hold in the cooler water below. These Beverly Shores Chinooks are known for their size, with some fish exceeding 30 pounds, so ensure your gear is up to the challenge!
