Kalamazoo River Steelhead by
Ron Westrate
(12/30/2006)
Steelhead fishing is picking up on the river. The Kalamazoo River level has subsided and the fishing is picking up with some very nice steelhead being caught above the New Richmond Bridge. I have not recieved any information about activity on the lower river, however I would think the fish are moving in. Hot n Tots that are back trolled into the holes and spawn that is bounced back over the bottom are the methods of choice.

The water was 67 degrees on top from the shore line to 180 foot of water and it was 65 degrees 150 foot down in 180 foot of water.
