Let me tell you about this killer fishing trip out of Grindstone, Michigan that'll have you grinning from ear to ear.
What's the Deal?
Picture this: You're cruising out onto the crystal-clear waters of Lake Huron, the sun's warming your face, and you've got a whole afternoon ahead of you to troll for some of the tastiest fish around. We're talking about hooking into Atlantic Salmon, Rainbow Trout, Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, and Lake Trout.

This isn't just any old fishing trip – it's a chance to learn from the pros. Captain Kyle and his team are straight-up fishing wizards.

They handle all the nitty-gritty stuff like gear and fish cleaning, so you can focus on the fun part – reeling 'em in!
Trolling 101
If you're new to trolling, don't sweat it. It's a killer technique for covering lots of water and enticing those fish to bite. Here's the lowdown: We'll be cruising at a steady pace, with lines in the water at different depths. The motion of the boat makes those lures dance like real baitfish, and before you know it – BAM! You've got a fighter on the line.
We use top-of-the-line gear that's perfect for the species we're after. Downriggers, planer boards, and just the right lures to match what the fish are hungry for. It's all about presenting those baits in the strike zone, and that's where the captain's know-how really shines. You'll pick up tricks that'll up your fishing game, whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned pro.
Anglers Can't Stop Talking
"Great weather and fun. Couldn't ask for a better experience. Thank you captain Kyle Knope!" - michael
Fish You'll Want to Hook
Atlantic Salmon: These bad boys are the acrobats of the lake. When you hook one, get ready for a show – they'll leap clear out of the water, shaking their heads to throw that hook. They average around 5-10 pounds, but don't be surprised if you land a 20-pounder. Spring and fall are prime times to target these silver bullets.
Rainbow Trout: Also known as steelhead when they hit the big water, these guys are famous for their hard-fighting spirit. They'll test your skills with long runs and sudden direction changes. Look for them year-round, but spring and fall can be especially hot. A 5-8 pounder is a sweet catch, but they can get up to 15 pounds or more.
Coho Salmon: These are the speed demons of the salmon world. When a coho hits, hold on tight because they'll make your reel sing! They're typically in the 3-5 pound range, but can push 10 pounds. Late summer and early fall is when they really start to run, and man, are they tasty on the grill.
Chinook Salmon: Known as "King Salmon" for a reason, these are the heavyweights of the Great Lakes. Landing a chinook is like arm-wrestling a bulldozer – they're pure power. They average 15-20 pounds but can top 30. Late summer and fall is prime time when they're staging for their spawning run.
Lake Trout: The OG's of Lake Huron, lake trout have been here since the ice age. They're not the fastest, but they've got stamina for days. Deep-water trolling is the ticket here, and when you hook into a 10-20 pounder, you'll feel like you're hauling up a submarine. These guys are around all year, but summer can be especially good.
Time to Get Your Fish On
Alright, let's cut to the chase – this trip is the real deal. You've got a pro captain, top-notch gear, and some of the best fishing waters in Michigan right at your fingertips.

Learn more about the species
Atlantic Salmon
Atlantic Salmon are prized catches in Lake Huron, typically weighing 8-12 pounds and growing up to 30 inches long. These silvery fish with black spots spend part of their lives in the ocean before returning to freshwater to spawn. Look for them in deeper, cooler parts of the lake, especially near river mouths. Spring and fall are prime seasons as they migrate. Anglers love Atlantic Salmon for their acrobatic fights and delicious pink flesh. They'll hit flies, spoons, and plugs, but can be finicky. A local trick is to troll with downriggers early in the morning when they're most active near the surface. Remember, these fish can breed multiple times, unlike Pacific salmon, so careful catch-and-release helps maintain the population.
Chinook Salmon
Chinook Salmon, or Kings, are the heavyweight champs of Lake Huron. These bruisers can top 30 pounds, with most in the 15-25 pound range. They're silver with black spots and have a black mouth – hence the nickname "blackmouth." Kings like it deep and cool, so use downriggers to get your lures down 50-100 feet in summer. Spring and fall are great times to catch them closer to shore. Anglers prize Chinooks for their hard-fighting spirit and rich, red flesh. Trolling with large spoons or plugs is popular, but be ready for a workout when you hook one. Pro tip: use cut bait like alewives or herring to entice the big ones. Early morning and dusk are prime feeding times for these monsters.
Coho Salmon
Coho Salmon, also called silvers, are a blast to catch in Lake Huron. They average 8-12 pounds and run 24-30 inches. Look for their dark blue-green backs and bright silver sides. Cohos like cooler water, so target them 30-60 feet deep in summer, shallower in spring and fall. They're known for their acrobatic fights and tasty orange-red meat. Late summer into fall is prime time as they start their spawning run. Trolling with spoons or plugs works well, but they'll also hit flies. Here's a local secret: use glow-in-the-dark lures early in the morning or on overcast days. Cohos school up, so if you catch one, stick around – there's likely more nearby.
Lake Trout
Lake Trout are the native heavyweights of Lake Huron, often hitting 15-40 pounds. These deep-water dwellers have dark backs with light spots and deeply forked tails. You'll find them hanging in the cold depths, usually below 60 feet. Spring and fall are best as they move shallower. Lakers are prized for their fight and rich, oily meat that's great for smoking. Jigging or trolling with heavy spoons works well. Here's an insider tip: use big, flashy lures to trigger their predatory instincts in deep water. Lake trout grow slowly and can live for decades, so practice catch-and-release with the big ones to keep the population healthy. These fish are a true trophy of the Great Lakes.
Rainbow Trout
Rainbow Trout are a favorite in Lake Huron, usually 20-30 inches long and 2-8 pounds. You'll spot their signature pink stripe along silvery sides. They prefer cold, clear water and hang out near drop-offs or underwater structures. Spring and fall are best, when water temps are cooler. Rainbows put up a great fight, often leaping when hooked. Anglers love 'em for their spirited nature and tasty, pink meat. Try drifting live bait like nightcrawlers or casting small spoons. Here's a tip: on calm days, look for rising fish and cast dry flies – it's a blast when they hit the surface. These trout are stocked regularly, so there's always a good chance of hooking into one.
