    Lake Michigan's Michigan shoreline (alternate listing) provides access to the same world-class Great Lakes salmon and trout fishery documented under spot 6850043. This second listing confirms the presence of Chinook salmon, coho salmon, lake trout, and brown trout along the Michigan Lake Michigan shore. Spot Features: This Lake Michigan Michigan shoreline listing (a second entry) represents the full 1,638-mile Michigan western shoreline with access to the same exceptional Great Lakes multi-species salmon and trout fishery previously described in spot 6850043. All techniques and species information from that earlier entry apply here as well. Seasonality: Chinook salmon are the primary fall target along the Lake Michigan Michigan shoreline, staging from late summer through fall (August-October). Coho salmon follow from September through November. Lake trout are available year-round by deep trolling, with the best spring and fall action. Brown trout are caught near tributary mouths in fall during their spawning migration.
