OOPS ALL BERRIES!

We do not have an official spring run for chinook salmon here in Michigan. There is a small amount of chinook that have this recessive spring spawn gene force them up to attempt to spawn. I only hear of a few being caught every spring across the whole state.

This is my first springer and man was it an awesome surprise. The water is still pretty muddy and this beauty faught us all over the place before I got a glance at it and I thought it might have been a king when I got my first glance at the gray tones and big tail.

Fall chromers might hit harder but the fish this time of year can be really bring the looks.
