Paddled the Grand today from Grand River Landing to lighthouse by short pier and long pier. No dice. 6.7 miles paddling and all I caught was a small white bass along the long wall by the lighthouse. I consider today preseason training for this Fall and if I'm lucky I'll catch an early one.

I think some damage could be done this weekend from the piers if the north wind keeps blowing - lake temp is down alot since last week and all of the emeralds have been north for some reason. If they get pushed south to us the steelhead wont be far behind. Theyve been getting them north of the border nearshore already

I like to start when temperatures are around 60 degrees, but if you have a short drive to the lake, you may get an early one anytime after September 1st. After almost 30 yrs steelhead fishing, that is when I start seeing some of the first ones caught from shore. But it can vary because of lake temperature and weather.

someone got another this morn. don't know that size. both were caught in the morn. this crappie north north east wind is pushing them in fast. some rumors of shiners being seen at sundown near Lil wall. this weekend will produce a steel or two if the lake lice and weekend yahoo's don't tear up the harbor in my opinion. with forecast I'll say st Claire should produce by next week. all depends on cold rain!!! it was caught on a Vibrax don't know color.
