Large and smallmouth bass, coho and atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, walleye, lake trout, perch, northern pike, carp and several others.


This morning 10/13/24 on Eighteen Mile

Fishing with Captain Tyler Morrison.



November 1st – Happy November to everyone. Doe tags are available today. Let’s hope good things happen this month. Fishing has been really good at Fishermen’s Park – aka Burt . There are plenty of fish in there and it seems to be a huge year for brown trout. It’s amazing how many they have been catching. There are salmon and trout, sometimes an Atlantic,coho or steelhead, but mostly browns and kings. The dam is it’s usual self. Unfortunately, they keep shutting the water off and the water gets too low so fish are trying to hide in the holes and their backs are sticking out. That’s sad, let’s hope they crank those babies up or we get a ton of rain. You would think that with the mobs of people combat fishing there, the water level would rise while they are all standing in it (of course I am joking there. You have to be careful with all the people who don’t understand what you are talking about).

Fishing is very good. If you are into standing elbow to elbow with people, this is a good weekend for that. There is plenty of action here and all the other major tribs along the lake. Check them all out. Figure out your preference. Egg sacs, skein, plastics, Death Roe is hot. Browns are even into nightcrawlers this late in the season. Beads, just everything you like down there at the dam. Just enjoy yourselves and don’t believe everything social media tells you. It’s just a great time to fish. Have a great day.
