Pere Marquette Fall Fishing
My long time friend Jim Hagar is a member of the Pere Marquette Rod and Gun Club and manages to get to the river in the fall for the salmon, steelhead, and browns. Unlike our rivers here in Wisconsin, which fluctuate greatly, in tune with every rainfall, no matter how small or large, the Pere Marquette flows strongly all year long. It is ideal water for the fall runs of salmon and trout, and Jim is good at finding them and catching them. He loves to fish big streamers, and to see the fish take them with zeal. It’s great fun, and we have shared the waters together; one fall we took so many kings that it almost got embarrassing—almost. Good on you Jim!
Yes, I would be smiling, too. Nice fall brown, Jim.
Now, there’s a steelhead! Look at the big streamer hanging in its mouth.
