We get these questions a lot. What fish are biting on Lake Michigan?

What month is best to fish Lake Michigan? Are salmon biting on Lake Michigan? Well, it depends on what time of year you go. 

During spring and early summer, brown trout and steelhead are abundant along with cohos and lake trout. In late summer into fall, chinook salmon start moving in closer to shore making them easier targets for anglers. However, fishing reports change frequently so it's always best to check with local bait shops or fishing guides for up-to-date information.


Spring and fall are ideal for catching trout, salmon are exceptional from summer to early fall. We have morning and afternoon Lake Michigan fishing trips that you can choose from. We understand that there are many resources available to assist you in planning your next fishing charter, and we're delighted that our insights have proven useful.
