Chinook Salmon
Beaver Island, Michigan, offers exceptional Chinook Salmon fishing in the waters of Lake Michigan. The key to success here lies in understanding the salmon's migratory patterns and forage. Targeting staging fish near the island in late summer and early fall is a popular strategy. Trolling with spoons or flasher/fly combinations is common, and paying attention to depth is crucial as thermoclines shift. The Chinook around Beaver Island are known for their size and fight, providing a thrilling experience for anglers. Local tip: Monitor charter boat activity; they often have the most up-to-date information on where the fish are holding. Be aware of lake conditions, as they can change quickly, making a reliable boat and navigational equipment essential. Don't overlook the harbor areas during early morning hours when salmon may move closer to shore.
