Lake
Huron

Lake Huron is the 2nd
largest of the Great Lakes and the 3rd largest fresh
water lake in the world. Lake Huron has a surface
area of 23,010 square miles and an average depth of 195
feet, with a maximum depth of 750 feet. Lake Huron
has the longest shoreline of the Great Lakes, counting
the shoreline of it's 30,000 + islands.
Nearly 90 fish species have been discovered in Lake Huron.
Lake Huron features world class fresh water fishing for Salmon,
Steelhead, Lake Trout and Walleye. Other common
species in Lake Huron include: Northern Pike,
Smallmouth Bass, Rock Bass, Yellow Perch, and Lake
Whitefish.
Lake Huron walleye fishing is good for most of the year
but it really turns on during the summer. When the water
temperatures increase, the fish will move deep. Try
rigging to run deepwater crankbaits around the islands
and sunken reefs and inlets that run into deep water.
The fish will often hold to these areas and will be on
the move in transition to these areas.
Lake Huron chinook salmon are often caught in the big
waters by trolling plugs, spoons and flashers. The fish
typically dine on smelt and alewife and have been known
to gorge themselves when the opportunity presents
itself. Lake Huron salmon fishing often sees Chinook
over 30 pounds caught every season.
In
the late spring and summer, Coho are caught in the big
waters typically looking for smelt or alewives. Again
plugs and spoons are among the most popular strategies.
Often Coho are found in 20 to 40 feet in Lake Huron this
time of year. Like the Chinook, big water fishing is
best in the spring and early summer.
