Salmon & Trout Fishing
Chinook salmon, coho salmon, brown trout, lake trout and steelhead are all possible in the waters around Charlevoix. In this part of the state, the lake trout fishing can be very good. Most anglers target salmon and trout by trolling out in Lake Michigan. At the end of the summer and into the fall, coho and chinook salmon do move into Lake Charlevoix and eventually found closer to the Boyne River in the East Arm and the Jordan River in the South Arm as they move in to spawn.
