Michigan Fishing Report: Mayfly Hatch and Big Water Action
In this week’s fishing report, Captain Ben Wolfe from Sportfish Michigan shares some exciting updates on the fishing opportunities across the state of Michigan. From the beginning of the mayfly hatch to the action-packed big water fishing, there’s something for every angler to enjoy. Let’s dive in and explore the latest buzz in Michigan fishing.
Mayfly Hatch: A Critical Food Source
Across the state, anglers are witnessing the early stages of a mayfly hatch. This natural phenomenon is a crucial food source for various fish species, including trout, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, panfish, and even walleye. The emergence of mayflies presents an excellent opportunity for topwater anglers to target these hungry fish.
Topwater Action for Anglers
If you’re an avid topwater angler, now is the time to grab your walking bait or popper and hit the water early in the mornings or late in the evenings. The mayfly hatch provides the perfect conditions for topwater action, as fish are actively feeding on these insects near the surface. This is an exciting time to test your skills and see if you can entice a strike from a hungry trout or bass.
Big Water Action: Salmon and Lake Trout
For anglers who prefer the thrill of big water fishing, there’s plenty of action to be found in Michigan’s lakes. Captain Ben Wolfe reports that salmon and lake trout are putting on a show, with some impressive catches being made. Anglers have been reeling in salmon weighing over 20 pounds, including both mature adults and younger fish. This is a promising sign for the rest of the summer, indicating that there will be plenty of opportunities to target these prized species.
