Five species of fish are waiting to give you the battle of your life. The best tackle and equipment are furnished that both the novice and experienced fisherman can appreciate.
In the months of April and May, you will find almost nonstop action on Coho Salmon in the 3-5 pound class. Most recently, some new strains of Brown Trout have been planted. This new strain of Brown Trout is now yielding fish up to 28 pounds. The months of April and early May are when this fish is most active. It is very common to catch Rainbow Trout in spring. The cold water brings this species close to shore where they are most accessible. The Rainbows range in size from 5 to more than 20 pounds. This fish is especially exciting to catch due to its strength and jumping ability. Some Chinooks and Lake Trout are also caught in the spring depending on their location relative to the other species.
During June, July and August all five types of Lake Michigan fish are in their prime. Brown and Rainbow Trout are active in all sizes. Locally, a state record trout was caught just a few years ago. Lake Trout are plentiful with an average size of about 12 pounds. All these fish are exciting, but the largest fish in Lake Michigan is the Chinook or King Salmon. This powerful fighter grows to sizes in excess of 30 pounds. The King is known for his forceful runs and brute strength.
September and October are known for large fish. The Kings, Cohos, Browns and Rainbows make their runs up the rivers. Milwaukee is fortunate to have a large harbor where these fish congregate before they make their runs. This makes the fish most accessible to the fishermen.
