Fishing in the Kalamazoo River is red hot right now with 5 to 8 steelhead being boated per trip. According to Tony Wolte of Frost Bite Charters, the water level is very low but the fishing is very good. The vast majority of the fish being caught are steelhead with an occasional chinook salmon or brown trout. The best method for the steelhead is either back-trolling small plugs through holes or bottom bouncing spawn in the holes.
