Captain Kyle's got years of experience under his belt, so you're in good hands. He'll get you set up with top-notch gear and show you the ropes of trolling and light tackle fishing.

Techniques That Land the Big Ones
Ever wonder how the pros consistently reel in those wall-hangers? On this trip, you'll get the inside scoop on trolling techniques that make the difference between a good day and a great day on the water. We're talking about mastering the art of presenting lures at just the right depth and speed to entice those lunkers. And when it comes to light tackle, Captain Kyle will show you how finesse can often outperform brute force. You'll learn to read the water, spot the tells that fish are nearby, and set the hook like a champ. By the end of the day, you'll be swapping fish stories with the best of 'em.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Lake Huron is home to some of the most sought-after game fish in the Great Lakes, and we're targeting the cream of the crop. Let's break down what you might find at the end of your line:
Atlantic Salmon: These silver bullets are known for their acrobatic fights and delicious flavor. They typically run 5-10 pounds but can get much bigger. The thrill of an Atlantic salmon taking your lure and then leaping clear out of the water is something you won't soon forget. Best fishing is often in the spring and fall.
Rainbow Trout (Steelhead): Hard-fighting and beautiful, rainbows in Lake Huron can grow to impressive sizes. They're active year-round but really fire up in the cooler months. Expect fish in the 5-15 pound range, with some monsters pushing 20+ pounds. Their aerial displays and blistering runs will test your skills and your gear.
Coho Salmon: These feisty fighters might be smaller than their Chinook cousins, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers and taste. Cohos typically weigh 3-8 pounds and are known for their silver sides and spotted backs. They're most active in the spring and fall, often traveling in schools which can lead to multiple hookups.
Chinook (King) Salmon: The heavyweight champs of Lake Huron, Chinooks can top 30 pounds or more. These bruisers will put your arms and back to the test with powerful runs and dogged fights. Peak season is typically late summer through fall when they start their spawning runs. Landing a trophy King is often the highlight of any Great Lakes fishing trip.
Lake Trout: Native to Lake Huron, these deep-water dwellers are the marathon runners of the fish world. They'll test your endurance with long, steady fights. Lakers can live for decades and grow to impressive sizes, with 10-20 pounders being common and some topping 40 pounds. They're available year-round but fishing heats up in the cooler months.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
Look, I've been guiding on Lake Huron for years, and I still get pumped every time we head out.

Our regulars come back year after year because they know each trip is a new adventure. Maybe this time you'll land that 30-pound King you've been dreaming about, or maybe you'll just enjoy a perfect day on the water with friends and family. Either way, you're in for a good time.

Learn more about the species
Atlantic Salmon
Atlantic Salmon are a prized catch in Lake Huron, known for their acrobatic fights and delicious meat. These silver-bodied fish typically range from 28-30 inches and 8-12 pounds, though trophy specimens can reach 30+ pounds. Look for them in deep, cold water, especially near river mouths and underwater structures. Spring and fall are prime seasons as they follow baitfish migrations. Trolling with spoons, plugs, or cut bait is effective. For a local tip: try fishing the "magic hour" just before sunset when salmon often feed more aggressively near the surface. Anglers love targeting these fish for their powerful runs and aerial leaps when hooked. The firm, pink flesh is also highly valued for its rich flavor. While populations have declined, careful management is helping restore this iconic species to Lake Huron.
Chinook Salmon
Chinook Salmon, aka "kings," are the heavyweight champions of Lake Huron. These bruisers average 15-25 pounds but can top 40 in the fall. Look for them in deep, cold water, often 50-100 feet down near structure or bait schools. Late summer through fall is prime time as they bulk up for spawning runs. Trolling with large spoons, plugs, or cut bait is the go-to method. Local tip: don't be afraid to go big with your lures - kings aren't picky eaters. Anglers prize these fish for their powerful fights and sheer size. When a big king hits, hang on tight! The rich, red flesh is excellent for grilling, smoking, or sushi. While numbers have declined from their peak, careful management is helping maintain a thrilling fishery.
Coho Salmon
Coho Salmon are a Lake Huron staple, offering exciting fights and tasty fillets. These "silver bullets" typically run 3-8 pounds, though some can reach 15+. Look for them in cooler water, often 30-60 feet deep near structure or temperature breaks. Late summer through fall is prime time as they stage for their spawning runs. Trolling with flashy spoons or cut bait is effective, but you can also cast near shore during low light. Pro tip: keep an eye out for diving birds, they'll often lead you to feeding coho. Anglers love these fish for their hard-charging runs and aerial acrobatics when hooked. The firm, orange flesh is excellent for grilling or smoking. While not as big as kings, coho make up for it with their numbers and willingness to strike.
Lake Trout
Lake Trout are the native giants of Lake Huron, offering a true trophy potential. These deep-water dwellers average 5-15 pounds but can push past 40. Look for them along drop-offs and underwater humps, often in 50-150 feet of water. Spring and fall are prime when they move shallower, but summer offers consistent deep-water action. Jigging or trolling with large spoons and cut bait works well. Pro tip: use your electronics to find bait balls - lakers won't be far. Anglers love lake trout for their hard-pulling fights and excellent table fare. The firm, light-colored flesh is great for smoking or grilling. While not as flashy as salmon, these slow-growing fish offer a unique challenge and a taste of Lake Huron's history.
Rainbow Trout
Rainbow Trout are a Lake Huron favorite, known for their colorful appearance and spirited fights. These fish typically run 15-20 inches and 2-5 pounds, with some pushing 10+ pounds. You'll find them in cooler parts of the lake, often near drop-offs or around structure like sunken logs. Spring and fall are prime seasons when water temperatures are ideal. Trolling with small spoons or minnow-imitating lures works well, but fly fishing can be extremely rewarding too. A local trick: try suspending salmon eggs under a float near creek mouths after a good rain. Anglers love chasing rainbows for their acrobatic leaps and delicious, pink flesh. Whether you're after a trophy or just want to fill the cooler, these trout offer consistent action and make for great eating.
