What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Brethren, Michigan for the first time?

The salmon are running by the thousands!! Also saw some huge brown trout caught. The whole experience was just awesome and fun! And if you love the outdoors, Michigan that time of year on the river is beautiful.

If you want Salmon come in the last of September thru 2 nd week in October. If you want steel head come later part of October. Avoid the crowds and come midweek.

Do yourself a favor and book a charter the first day so the experienced captains can show you how to catch your target fish.

Connect with James Jarvis. He has the right boat and all of the gear to have a good time and go home with fish.

Dress right. Go to tippy dam rec area. If you just tell the gps tippy dam you will go to the wrong side of the dam and be 20 minutes late.

Have patience and trust you're captain. You may know what you're talking about but these guys live on the rivers

Be patient and time your trip. He will find the fish, and enjoy the day. The boat is excellent as well as the captain.

Make sure you have a dependable GPS to find your way, the area can be a bit confusing if you're a total stranger to it.

Sure, lots of charters there, so I presume fishing there is good at the right time. I will book again for a 2nd time with the same captain.

Be prepared for any weather in the fall. Be on time and respectful of your captains.
