Michigan King Salmon

We are back in Michigan and on the river chasing King Salmon.  We have been primarily float fishing eggs the last few days but have hit a few fish casting crank baits as well.  The fishing is by no means "on fire" but we are hooking a decent number of fish each day.  Boat traffic has been light most likely due to slower fishing than everyone is used to.  The fish are fighting hard and looking for cover so a heavy drag and good leader has been the only way to put them in the net.  Most rivers should have fishable numbers within the next week which should keep any one spot from getting too congested with boat traffic.  Openings are on the lighter side but if you are looking to get out for Kings or Steelhead this fall don't wait any longer to get a day booked.  Here are a few pictures from the last couple days.
