Pere Marquette River Water Conditions – rising
>>> After a few days of very warm weather and water temps in the upper 60s last week, things are back to normal. Regular rains have kept the PM in good shape. Big yellow streamers and mice after dark have been the most productive way to catch big trout. With the lamprey weir shut down this year we’re seeing a lot more salmon and lake run browns in the upper river already. Should be a good salmon season. Matt Dunn

Beaver Island >>> The guys are still catching carp pushing that magical 40 pound mark. Smallmouth fishing has also been very good with 5-6lb fish caught regularly. We think the next state record smallmouth will come from Beaver Island. Kevin Morlock
