When do the salmon move from Lake Michigan into surrounding tributaries to spawn?
I know it’s in the fall, but late September? Mid October? Around when are they in the tributaries?
You are correct in the time frames mentioned thus far, and I have even observed spawning salmon in November...those primarily being coho, as the chinooks are pretty much "toast" by then.
Chinook salmon caught on Luhr Jensen crocodile staging at mouth of the Platte River, MI

King salmon on spawning redds in October...Platte River, MI
In Berrien Springs they have already started at the dams.
