Frankfort
Captain Kris reports in the Frankfort area there are a few Steelhead runs around Homestead Dam, Platt Bay is a good bet for Brown Trout, on Betsie Bay along the Beach and Piers anglers are catching mostly Brown Trout and a few steelhead, mornings are best using spawn. At the mouth of the Betsie River numerous Steelhead have been spotted jumping, Crystal Lake is good for Perch on Minnows and pretty much everywhere suckers can be caught. If the weather hold and we see rain, he expects we may also see some early Morels. |
