Mike has been fishing for Salmon in these rivers since he was 8yrs old. He prefers to tie his own flies before he starts fishing. He says "the Salmon are in the river early this year".
I could clearly see a Salmon in the water, can you see it....!
One of the lucky fishermen at the Dam let me take a picture of his catch. He says "I can't wait to have fresh Salmon for supper, my wife has a great recipe".
There you have it folks, Salmon are in the Betsie River here in Benzie County. And if they are in the Betsie, you know they'll be in the Platte. Most popular fishing spots are only a couple of miles from here, this is river fishing at its best. These King Salmon are from the deep waters of Lake Michigan and they are still very fresh.
