Alger County :
Anna River
Munising, Mi. Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Brook Trout, Steelhead, Brown
Trout. Enters Lake Superior at Munising Bay. Open to fishing all year, for
species in season, from mouth upstream to railroad bridge. Very good fishing
at the river mouth for coho and steelhead. Excellent water quality. The
upper and middle part of the river consist of rolling hills of sand with
numerous veins of gravel and pockets of small rocks. Gradient is moderate
to fast and the cold water inflow is good even into the summer. The last
two miles are old lake bed with slow water flow. Valley Spur Creek, Wagner
Creek, and Fish Hatchery Creek are excellent Brook Trout tributaries. River
mouth and at least 2 miles upstream best fishing. Motels in Munising . Guides-Northbound

Laughing Whitefish River
Deerton, Mi. Steelhead, Coho Salmon, Pink Salmon,Brook Trout. The Laughing
Whitefish River flows north for about 20 miles through hilly and rolling
hardwoods before emptying into Lake Superior about midway between Marquette
and Munising. A beautiful
lightning-quick stream due to its steep gradient the river runs cold and
clear over a slick bottom of broken rocks, gravel cobblestones and boulders.
Be sure to wear felt soled waders or carry a staff.Several unnamed tributaries
less than a mile in length add volume to the flow which is bankful in the
spring and fall and often slower in the summer. This river continues to
produce nice steelhead in the spring and pink salmon runs in the fall. Best
fishing is the rivermouth, downstream from M-28 to the campground, and upstream
from M-28 to the Soo Line Railroad Tracks in Deerton. Lodge: Whitefish Lodge
