Cheboygan River – Salmon runs are on the downhill side but a few fresh fish were still being caught.

Ocqueoc River – A few more salmon have appeared in the river even though the run seems to be somewhat smaller than recent years.

Rogers City – Anglers still should be able to find some fish especially younger salmon, steelhead, and brown trout. Finding baitfish has been the key. Try shallow waters 45 to 70 feet deep between Calcite Harbor, Swan Bay and Adams Point with orange, green, blue, silver or purple spoons.

Presque Isle – Fishing has slowed but a few fish are still there for the taking. Try straight out from the harbor and fish where there is structure.

Thunder Bay River – Chinook and lake trout have been caught at the Ninth Street Dam. The salmon are turning dark and are mostly spawned out. Anglers have done best drifting single eggs, artificial or natural. Artificial green eggs have worked very well. Lake trout have been taken on green and orange body baits. Angler pressure has been high with boat and shore anglers.

Harrisville – Salmon are slowly making their way into the harbor and some have been caught on spawn or body baits. Early morning and late afternoon have been the most productive.

Oscoda – Pier and shore anglers have caught salmon. Fish early or late with spawn or body baits.

Au Sable River – Salmon are still being caught between the mouth and the dam. There have been reports of some steelhead following salmon into the river.

Tawas – The few boat anglers still out are getting a few walleye and the odd brown trout off Jerry’s Marina and Buoy #6. A few walleye were caught off the pier when still-fishing with live minnows or spoons. Anglers also caught a couple smallmouth bass, a steelhead and burbot. Perch fishing was slow and required sorting out the small ones.

Au Gres – A couple boats trolling off the mouth of the river got a few walleye.
