Leave salt creek alone till november. There will still be plenty of steelhead in salt after the crowds get the dieing kings. I've been driving a bit farther to trail. Its still crowded in the easy to get to holes but if your willing to get off the beaten path you can find some great places.

I got an 18.5 pounder last week and several steelies.

And don't worry about multies posts he thinks every indiana stream is attached to the st joe for some reason.

Let me know or PM me if you want to discuss the creeks.

You should register at wolflakefishing.com look me up since I have the same screen name.

I'm well known at Mik-Lurch and fish the streams alot though my love is muskies out east.
I know not all the streams are attached to st. joe and galien river. Iam just saying it in general as the st. joe is the most well known and fished river in southwest MI, people from Indiana and Illinois come and fish it.

turning dark already wheres the fresh fish?
 
come to find out MI stocked 99,000 kings into the St. joe this yr
 
Who ever controls the dam in berrien (Indiana) is doing what we call forced running they keep back all the new rain water and let it out in spurts, the'll open the dam a few hrs let it rise 2-4 feet then shut it off. Thats why the salmon are all going right up the ladder.
 
i use alot of different techniques but the best i found for steelhead and salmon this time of year is berkley gulp 2 - 3 inch smelt with a # 12 hook and a 3 ounch indicator about 2 feet up the line.. later in the year its with a drift rod.
