Garden River Fishing Report
Oct 7th, 2011

Joe with a nice steelhead
We wrapped the Garden River 2011 with a bang this week. Fishing was fantastic with fresh kings and steelhead all making themselves available for fun. As we left Tuesday afternoon there was a fresh run of kings making it's way up river. That combined with double digit numbers of steelhead hooked each day for the last week made for a memorable close to this season.
The kings were available in much greater numbers this year. They increased in size and had less lamprey marks than in the past. The steelhead varied in size from 12 inches to almost 10 pounds.
Thanks to Joe and Cody, our hosts, for again making their river available to Hawkins Outfitters clients.
I look forward to 2012. If you want to join the fun, give me a call at 231.228.7135.

As you can see by the photos we have all species available right now. Craig, took a king and a coho on streamers, steelhead on eggs. That's the fishing right now. Every dark spot is potential for steelhead or cohos and kings are still moving up river. What a fantastic day of fishing. Walk up river and work all the water!
I've got three more days up north before I complete the best, most productive trip on the Garden River in years. Thanks to my partners, Joe and Cody for all of their work and to all the folks that came north to fish the Garden River.
I have a very few spots available in 2012 as most customers rebooked. If you have ever wanted to experience the finest Great Lakes salmon fishing available, give me a call (231.228.7135) or contact us via the web.
