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.

FREE FISHING WEEKEND this weekend June 3^rd and 4^th. Everything is free and the only thing the state asks you to do is follow the laws to fishing. If you do that, you will have the most wonderful time of your life, and now would be a good time to take a charter out of Lake Michigan with the whole family.

FISHING NEWS:   Well, fishing in the county has been a little hard with all that rain we are having now. A lot of fishermen were kept off the lake due to the weather, but hopefully this weekend will prove to be a different story. Reports show that the water temps are about 45-F. Very few anglers are fishing on the West and East Twin Rivers for steelheads, and I have been seeing some out there all day. Reports from the Milwaukee area show that the salmon are on the move and coming northward. Brown trout in the southern half of the state are starting to come around, close to shore for the fishermen. Some of the boats in the Sheboygan area were getting a few rainbows and coho salmon this past week. Mixed bags of chinook and lakers were being caught. I hope many of you had a chance to see all the huge smallmouth bass taken last weekend during the tournament. Remember to listen to the CUB RADIO SPORT FISHING REPORTS with Capt. Bruce starting this Friday at 6:20 am and listen to the reports all holiday weekend. Do not forget that on June 3 and 4^th is the FREE FISHING WEEKEND, with everything free and the only thing you need to remember is to follow all State Laws for fishing. Good Luck to all fishermen and women and the kids too.
