if any body or everybody is interested in a salmon fishing trip on the west side this year let me know..what rivers are you clossest to what one interests you most..i dont know all of them but ive fished quite a few..let me know what your interest is and see what we can work out..remember the farther north you go the earlier the runs start..timming is every thing..

lol, I think them canidian winds are blowning the sent of salmon down his way...[sly]
Its my understanding that we are having a valcanic summer... a valcano in russa went off several weeks back making temps realy cool for us around here.
aint nothing like hooking in to a 4-5 foot king.... [cool] the biguns come far later than most of the other runs, round about mid october, at least that has always been my experience at the tippy.... True there are fewer fish in the water, there are also fewer anglers on the water as well, and it dose get cold at night....

Ya' know the Kings start up the manistee in july , usually second or third week , by labor day they are jumping at the dam , just a few but they are fresh and agressive .
I'll be up pentwater/ludington area the last 3 weeks of august , after that it will be manistee and the au sable on alternating weekends .....
