Fishing Report
April 8th 2024
- Trout fishing is off the chain good right now! And I’m not talking dinks here – some real dandies in the high teens almost daily, with a legit shot at a PB brown always a possibility. Expect a few drop back steelhead here and there, maybe a handful of steelhead spawning, but for the most part it’s time to move on people. Everything was/is very early this year and it’s not unprecedented…this has happened before and it will happen again.
- Trout are eating big time, smallmouth bass are eating big time, pike and muskie are eating big time. Try something besides steelhead you may actually enjoy it! I’m fishing some new water this year for all the above, so if you’re tired of the same ole same ole, we can try something else. That said, the usual venues are performing well!
- Turkey season is only a couple weeks out and it’s going to be a fantastic season…tons of birds. Call me ASAP for details!!

Anglin Outdoors specializes in warm and coldwater species throughout a region that straddles much of the Indiana/Michigan state line known as Michiana. While steelhead and smallmouth bass fishing on the St Joseph River system including the revered Dowagiac River are the focus of most outings, many other species are caught during a typical day including resident brown trout, largemouth bass and a variety of panfish, among others. Northern pike are often targeted or caught as a bonus species. Northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan are blessed with some incredible muskie fisheries. While some 'skis are present in streams the bulk of fishing is done on small inland lakes.
The Michiana region is blessed with year-round fishing opportunities. Other than frigid arctic conditions that make fishing unbearable for most anglers, steelhead fishing is a possibility just about every month of the year. Obviously, numbers of fish and conditions vary from year to year but suffice it to say we have fantastic steelhead opportunities here - in particular spring and fall. Smallmouth bass fishery generally takes the stage from late May through early October - June, July and August being the primary focus. Resident trout fishing is also available to some degree nearly year-round but often comes as a bonus to steelhead fishing. September is a great month of pursue big, fresh king and coho salmon along with summer-run Skamania steelhead. Muskie and pike fishing can be excellent if not world class throughout much of the year as well.
All trips require a $150 deposit to lock date!
