Fishing Report march 23rd 2025
The spring steelhead run is in full swing! Unseasonably warm temperatures coupled with timely rains and snow runoff prompted a fairly strong spawning effort by holdover fish. In fact, of the last ten fish I’ve landed for clients, I’d say 6 or 7 were spawned out dropbacks! At this point there are fish throughout every river and creek system in this area. Nobody knows how many fish are still out in Lake Michigan waiting to migrate upstream…there are always some, the question is how many. The thing is there are already plenty of fish in the St Joe River system. All systems go so DO NOT WAIT TO BOOK A TRIP!
Steelhead: Peak opportunity is imminent.
Brown Trout: Always have a shot and prime time not far off.
Muskie: Picking up fast!
Turkey: If you’re interested tons of birds this spring. Get in touch with me ASAP…

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!
