    Tippy Dam will be a cf if the fish are in the river, total combat fishing. Don’t get me wrong there is some good fishing/fish to be had but you will need to move well down river from the damn to avoid the tight liners/ spin casters.

    As long as someone has already brought up fall fishing in Michigan perhaps we should float the idea of a northern IA conclave. a salmon trip on the PM would be perfect.

    I am from the area, I recommend avoiding salmon fishing completely, I know guides, and have fished this region my whole life and aside from the many idiots on the water the fishing is actually snagging.  Hooking a fish in the mouth is by chance only regardless of technique used.

    If you’re talking late October or early-mid November you should miss a lot of the chaos of the salmon run and have a good shot at hitting some good fall steelheading.

    Tim,
    We typically hit the water about 9:00 PM and fish till about 4:00 every year there’s a rumor that night fishing will canceled . Daytime is a bit of a cluster.
    If your in Ann Arbor you should definitely come down to Ohio and fish with us.
    Call me if your interested or just need some info, always willing to talk fishing.

    Mark,

    I like the idea of a northern IA conclave and would be up for it.

    Mike,
    Perhaps we should make that a separate post and see what the response is.
