River and Shorecasting Update

[Backwash]

I understand loopers and other fish have moved into the rivers. Does this mean that inorder to catch fish you have to fish in the rivers? Are fish still being caught from shore? Where would you recommend? Hope to get out this week after work...been a couple of weeks since last outing at the French. Any suggestions appreciated.

Fish can be caught from shore through the whole run but I would recomending staying closest to the river mouths if loopers are what you are after.

good luck

was on the shore yesterday and saw people catching fish in the rivers and in the lake. the ones i saw catch fish in the lake were right at the mouth but there were people fishing along the shore too. i didnt get to fish but saw some nice ones in the french and there seemed to be good numbers in the sucker. also spotted a few in a small creek...think it was the talmadge.? its got an old reatuarant or something right on the bank. hope to get back there soon with fishing equiptment!!! good luck!!

SFG, welcome to FM! Thanks for the report. Did it rain on the shore as hard as it did up here on the range? Todays rains up here just totalled the ice. Won't be long now.
