Steelhead
Chasing Steelhead near Charlevoix, Michigan, means tapping into the fantastic runs that occur in the area's rivers and tributaries flowing into Lake Michigan. These migratory rainbow trout offer a thrilling challenge for anglers. The peak seasons are typically spring and fall, coinciding with their spawning runs. While some fish will be in the lake, targeting the rivers is the most productive method. Fly fishing and spin fishing are both popular. A crucial tip is to focus on areas with current breaks, such as behind boulders or logs. Steelhead often hold in these spots, waiting to ambush prey. The Jordan River is a well-known Steelhead stream in the area, but be sure to check local regulations regarding access and permitted fishing methods. Also, be mindful of water levels; after heavy rains, the rivers can become turbid, making fishing more difficult. Clearer water is generally more productive.
