FISHING NEWS:   FISHING in the lakeshore was going very well during the holiday weekend. Do not forget that the CUB Radio Sport Fishing reports are now on the air every Friday and Saturday mornings with Capt. Bruce Grossheim. If you want the up to the minute fishing reports, remember to tune in Capt. Bruce and listen to the reports. Lots of boats using the ramps in the lakeshore with most boaters being able to catch 5 or more fish within a couple of hours. Some of the reports showed boaters getting more than 10 fish within a few hours. Most of the fish caught were steelhead ad King salmon. Most of the fish caught and examined had no fin clips, which implies they were natural and not planted fish. Steelhead averaged about 9 lbs. and also had a few fin clips. In the Algoma area and Kewaunee area they were bringing in mixed bags of rainbows, chinooks and cohos. Flasher/fly combos in green and similar colors worked well for the chinook, flashy spoons in the top 30fow worked best for rainbows, and some anglers has success with red/orange dodgers and small flies for cohos. In the Algoma area they were also getting their limits of Brown Trout.  In the Door County area, fishermen were getting some smallmouths, northerns, perch, and walleyes. Nothing like a full mixed bag of fishing up on the bay and lake side of Door County.
