Oak Creek is one of the smaller Lake Michigan tributaries,
but for some reason it gets a nice run of fish in both the Fall
and
Spring. At first glance you wouldn’t think there would be
any fish in this little creek, but usually the larger pools and
log jams hold a fish or two. The fall brings in four different
species of fish: chinook, coho, steelhead, and big
lake-run browns. The kings are usually in the 15-25 pound range
with the steelhead, coho and browns averaging 5-10 pounds. An occasional
10-15 pound monster steelhead finds it way into the creek, as well
as browns up to 20 pounds. |
