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.
