We have walked the Amerian River around Sailor Bar a few times over the past few weeks and the Chinooks are going airborne. It is a beautiful sight to see a 24"+ fish completely breach the surface for no reason at all.

Lol you dont want to eat too much salmon (or any fish really) from the lower great lakes. Just asking for cancer or shit.
But hey, the same guy eating 10 walleye and a samon per wk is usually the same guy who thinks a covid vaccine is going to kill them 
Anywho, heres a fall mudshark from a few yrs back. I used to go once a yr to try to get a female for her eggs for steelhead fishing but its too far of a drive now and cant go on wknds cuz theres a thousand guys stompin around.
Edit: fish in the pic is obv a fall spawner. I mean tons of ppl do eat the salmon throughout the year but its def not good for ya.

I actually release most of my fish lol. But the fresh water salmon to eat are the Atlantic type, like we have in Maine. or the little Kokanee that are more stream trout sized. Everyone says the Great Lakes salmon all taste greasy. Different forage than the wild in the ocean. People in other states say trout are gross and go for perch and bluegills, in Maine, most people only fish for trout, salmon and bass, everything else is junk fish 
if it bites, Iâll catch fish for it lol.

I know better than to eat the fish out of Erie and the other âgreatâ lakes lol. Ever hear of the Cuyahoga river fires? Shitâs so polluted itâs caught fire at least 6 times. I think there was a smaller fire on it recently that didnât get much attention. Most of what I catch goes right back into the water. I canât help but fantasize living in the Pacific northwest and catching sockeyes and chinooks, cooking the red fillets over planks of ceder. Much better than yellow pearch and walleye stuffed with heavy metals and other pollutants.

perch, trout and salmon are all good to eat here (lake michigan). the Chinooks are good August-September when theyâre in season but you should avoid eating the ones you catch in late October. they age and get nasty by that point. i could be wrong but i think coho are always fresh when theyâre in season, but i donât remember when that is exactly, i havenât fished in ages but really want to get back into it next year. perch are off limits from may-halfway through june but theyâre always fresh and one of the better fish to eat here anyway. just stay away from carp and catfish etc. especially the carp iâm told.

Thatâs bad ass and a hell of a fish! Iâve never caught salmon. I was out scouting recently and a couple of our state park lakes have Koknaee (I think thatâs right). Iâm not even sure if they are eating fish? Iâm going back up there in spring or a warm weekend in winter. Only problem is itâs in a really high altitude valley. South Park Colorado on the South Platte river. The lakes and the stream are full of 20" plus fish.
Our State Park lake near the house has a warning about Walleye. They recommend eating only one Walleye over 18" because of mercury. This was coal country a century ago. Itâs the only fish that accumulates the mercury in their system. But that sort of turns me off right away.
Even the oceans are showing problems. Donât they have the radioactive fish on the west coast now, from Fukushima?
I saw where they figured out what was killing the spawning salmon in I think Alaska. It had mystified them for years. It was some obscure chemical in the materials to make tires and the runoff from the roads over years became steady in the rivers. I really hope we start doing better protecting our fisheries. Theyâre sacred!

Fishing is a great time to get out and experience nature.
Pass on the love for the great outdoors. Bass, crappie, walleye,wiper,striper, blue cat or channel are my favorite. I mostly catch and release mine.
