    Atlantic Salmon
    The Atlantic salmon is one of the most elusive fish on the Torch Lake chain. The Atlantic salmon is like catching a king salmon with a steelhead attitude about jumping out of the water and twisting around at the back of the boat. April and May we can find them in the shallow Waters using long lines and smaller baits.
