Brown Trout, King Salmon and Zombie Coho Michigan River Fishing

Michigan river fishing for Brown Trout, King Salmon and Zombie Coho. In this fishing video I am fishing with my good buddy Jason Mar. We had a good time goofing around and the fishing and weather were pretty good. Our goal was for Jason to catch his first brown trout from a river. I have never caught trout from a lake and before this day he had only caught Brown Trout from lakes. Our sub goal was to catch some salmon. We both were hoping for coho but the ones we found were already dead. I did manage to catch a nice king salmon. It was a not quite fresh female king salmon with loose eggs. If you want to maximize your hook up possibilities its best to get the females back on the bed because once they are gone the males will all leave in search of a new hen. as an added bonus those eggs will still be laid on a bed before the salmon dies. I was tempted to keep it because I am currently out of eggs for spawn bags but I would rather harvest one big fish for eggs early in the season and release the rest to breed.
Jason and I are both relatively new to Michigan salmon fishing but we have chased salmon all over the state of Michigan together over the last 3 years or so.When I caught my first coho in The Grand River Jason was there and fell in the river because the salmon I was fighting tried to swim between his legs. We were also fishing together when we both caught our first king salmon fishing The Betsie River. We are both pretty new to tout fishing as well so It was a great Michigan fishing adventure for us. In the non Salmon and Stealhead seasons we do some Pike fishing to hold us over.

So we started the day targeting Brown Trout with Wordens Rooster Tail spinners. Later I switched to a litte Cleo spoon that I caught the King Salmon on.
