Steelhead fishing is the main game right now for those who are not hunting. Walleye fishing can be very good this time of year as water temperatures are in the range for feeding. The other good thing about this time of year is the waters are less crowded so anglers have more room to enjoy the sport of fishing.
Southeast Lower Peninsula
Lake Erie - Boat anglers have caught some walleye. A few perch are still being caught straight out from the Metro Park Marina. The trick is to locate schools of fish.

Saginaw River - Walleye are being caught by those vertical jigging. There appears to be a lot of baitfish in the river right now.
Southwest Lower Peninsula
St. Joseph River - Steelhead can be found below the Berrien Springs Dam. Fishing pressure has been light so those that do not like big crowds, this is the perfect time of year to go trout fishing.
Kalamazoo River - Fishing pressure here continues to be light as well. Look for good steelhead fishing below the Allegan Dam when using spawn, wax worms, crawlers or crankbaits.
Grand River at Grand Rapids - Steelhead can still be found below the Sixth Street Dam. Anglers are using 3 to 4 eggs in white bags when fishing in the early morning or late evening. Those fishing throughout the day are concentrating on the deeper holes while using jigs with wax worms. Good colors have been pink or chartreuse. Walleye have been caught up and down the East Wall.

Northeast Lower Peninsula
Alpena - This week is the beginning of the best opportunity to catch whitefish on hook and line in Lake Huron. Whitefish are usually found in deep waters which make them hard to reach, but in November they move in close to shore for spawning. They lay their eggs on reefs and other hard substrates. Good numbers of whitefish will be gathering over rocky areas, the rock rip-rap of jetties, marinas, and other sea walls in Thunder Bay. The best techniques include a wax worm on an ice fishing jig, spawn, minnows, and lures. Small baits work best with light line and small hooks as their mouth is small and delicate. Whitefish action peaks in late November but continues to be very good into early December. The better fishing is at dawn and dusk.
Thunder Bay River - There were no reports on steelhead fishing this week. Walleye and yellow perch are being caught in the marinas and at the mouth.

Several nice perch were caught near Kipling when jigging minnows in 10 to 14 feet of water during mid-day. Low water has created problems all around the Bay including the launch at Kipling, though anglers are presently using this site. Extremely low water levels have made the Rapid River and the Ford River launches unusable.
South Manistique Lake - Has good walleye fishing in the evening when using minnows off the points on the west side of the lake with Long Point one of the better spots. Look for northern pike and muskie between the access site and Norton Island.
