The river fishing is winding down and Capt. Tony states that he ran his last 2 river charters this past weekend and was 3 out of 11 on Friday and 6 out of 12 on Sunday.

The lake is still very cold with 36 degree water along the shore and 37 degree water off the Douglas point. The Kalamazoo River water was 41 degrees and a few fish where being caught in the river water/lake water interface. When the lake water was warmer (before the snow and cold weather) some very nice catches of Brown Trout and Coho were reported, therefore, I would assume that the fishing will pick up with warmer water.
