May-June
-During these months we primarily focus on lake trout and the occasional brown trout and king salmon. This is a great time to experience Great Lakes Fishing early in the season.

July
-This is our second most productive month, where we concentrate mainly on lake trout and king salmon in the early parts of the month, with the second half of the month mostly devoted to larger 3 and 4 year old king salmon.

August
-This is our most productive month where we concentrate almost mainly on large adult king salmon that can range from 15 to 30 pounds! If you are looking for a trophy king salmon this is the month to visit! During the middle of the month we also will begin to concentrate on smaller coho salmon, which make great table fair and put up a great fight.

September
-As the salmon begin to stage to run up the rivers, we concentrate on the kings and coho’s in front of the river mouths. This time can be extremely exciting fishing in front of the pier heads for almost all four year old adult kings! A great way to enjoy the end of the season runs of salmon.

-Conditions may change so feel free to call Captain Greg and inquire on how the fishing is currently during the season.
