Capt. Ken Deaton of J-Lyn Charters reports from Harbor Beach:

Steelhead fishing is still good straight out, fish the color lines for best results. Put out some long lines on the boards, bright colors of spoons, small, and regular sizes for best results, fishing straight out, South and North of the harbor, start in 80 feet of water and work out to 120 feet of water as the sun comes up. Be there early for a good bite.

A few Salmon are being taken straight out, South and North of the harbor fishing the 80 to 120 feet of water areas. Work deeper as the sun comes up. Clean spoons off the lead lines, dipseys, and downriggers are all working. Fish the top 60 to 80 feet of water for best results.

Lake Trout fishing is fair. Try straight out, South and North of the harbor using the dodgers with spin and glows or flys close to the bottom. Try clean spoons off the downriggers.
