I've fished Tippy Dam in Wellston, MI a few times, never had any luck tho. My dad used to fish at Berrien Springs and always brought home nice Steelies, but then he could catch a bass in a bath tub too.

I was at Barren Springs Sunday and there was a lot of guys fishing but not many catching. My Dad used to take me up there when I was 10 or 11. I'd love to do it again.

As of March 22, a total of 2422 steelhead have been counted moving through the South Bend fish ladder during the spring migration. The run is picking up as fish ladder operators are seeing good numbers of fish moving in the ladders during daily inspections. The number of steelhead for the month of March exceeds the long term aveage of 2400 dating back to 1993. Adult spawners are beginning to head to the gravel to begin spawning activity. Time to target these areas within the main river.

As of March 27, a total of 3,819 steelhead have been counted moving through the South Bend fish ladder. The migration is in full swing as hundreds of fish are moving through Indiana's ladders daily. The spawn is on and best fishing is on the shallow water gravel flats.

Pigeonflier, have you been there and fished recently. I bet the cold set us back a little bit. I am going to try to hit the river in the next couple weeks if it warms up. I will report

I heard the St Joe Spawn is coming to an end. Is that true? It seems like we hardly got to fish this year due to the weather. I'm bummed

Still lots of steelies around. Last Friday I was working on a house just down from Zappia park. They had a creek running through the back yard that had fish moving up all day long. I must have seen 30-40 while I was supposed to be working. ;D ;D ;D

I am going up there next week after the river has a chance to settle. I haven't been fly fishing yet and it is killing me.
