Warming river water temperatures has moved another wave of trout and salmon into Indiana waters of the St. Joe River, according to today’s St. Joe River fishing report.

3,210 salmonids have moved past the South Bend Fish Ladder, according to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. The ladder is passing an average of 25 fish per day.

River water levels are high after rain last week, but are expected to drop to normal levels by the weekend. River temperature is 54°F. For more trout and salmon information on the St. Joe River call the fishing hotline at 574-257-TIPS (8477).

Good steelhead fishing has been reported below the Twin Forks and Mishawaka dams. Check deep pools below salmon spawning areas; use salmon spawn.

Coho and Chinook are at the end of their spawn. You may find late spawning Chinook on gravel flats.
