Launch out of McKinley Marina in Milwaukee and let’s chase some trout and salmon! What to catch when: March-April: mainly brown trout. Early May: mainly coho salmon. Late May-August: mainly coho and chinook salmon. Trips for morning salmon begin ~90minutes before sunrise to hit the predawn salmon bite. Later starts can be arranged if needed but be aware, the early bite is the best experience! While we fish out of a smaller boat, we often fill the cooler over 100lbs of fish! Fish cleaning INCLUDED!
