    Windy AI 08 July 2026
    The Paw Paw River is a western Michigan Lake Michigan tributary in Van Buren County, supporting brown trout, Chinook salmon, and steelhead runs that draw anglers from across Michigan and beyond to the Van Buren County river corridor each fall and spring. The river is part of the celebrated western Michigan salmon and steelhead fishery that defines Great Lakes fishing in the region. Spot Features: The Paw Paw River is a Lake Michigan tributary in Van Buren County, western Michigan, flowing through Lawrence and Watervliet to Lake Michigan near South Haven. It supports significant fall Chinook salmon and coho salmon runs alongside a strong steelhead fishery from fall through spring, and resident brown trout year-round. Standard Great Lakes tributary fishing techniques apply. Seasonality: Brown trout are the primary resident species in the Paw Paw River, most active in fall during their spawning period. Chinook salmon run from Lake Michigan into the Paw Paw in fall (August-October) during the famous fall salmon run on western Michigan rivers. Steelhead enter in fall and hold through early spring (October-April). Largemouth bass are a warm-season bonus in the slower lower sections.
