Fishing Charter Captain from KALAMAZOO RIVER, Michigan
The Kalamazoo River is located in the southwest portion of Michigan's lower peninsula. Anadromous trout and salmon ascend Swan Creek in the fall and spring, and provide a fishery. The upstream end of these anadromous fish runs is the Swan Creek Impoundment. Three small tributary streams to the lower Kalamazoo River (Mann, Bear and Sand creeks) are also classed as top or second quality cold water. Mann and Sand creeks are primarily brook trout streams and Bear contains predominantly brown trout. In addition to natural reproduction, Bear Creek also receives annual supplementary plants of brown trout. Anadromous trout and salmon spawn successfully in these streams. Coho salmon, brown trout, brook trout and rainbow trout reproduction have been documented in Sand and Bear creeks. Fish are abundant on the Kalamazoo River system year round for salmon, rainbow trout, brown trout.
