Salmon Fishing in Michigan

Salmon fishing in MI surrounds the big four lakes of Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. The rivers feeding into these lakes are migration routes for salmon spawning and during the spawn may contain large numbers of salmon.

The Michigan state record atlantic salmon was taken from Lake Michigan and the state record chinook (king) salmon came out of the Grand River. The Platte River gave up the state record coho salmon. For kokanee salmon the record came from the Clinton River.
