Has anyone fished Ocqueoc River?

I was wondering how fishing in the Ocqueoc has been going. I haven't fished it in probably 7 years. I was interested in getting up there to fish for the salmon run. I used to go the first weekend in October and go duck hunting in the morning and salmon fishing in the afternoon.

Been quite a few years for me as well.We used to do pretty good at the mouth,but we always went in the Spring for Steelhead.

I saw some minnows in the weeds the other day but beyond that I see no one fishing the river. There is the usual several week period where the horde suddenly appears at September's end for the Salmon but it's early. I will say that I'm proud to see my tax dollars at work as they paved the road down to the river from US-23. I appreciate nice state facilities and I appreciable money put into those facilities that are used extensively but this is not one that receives significant traffic and I have to question the expenditure. No, the salmon are not yet running.

taking the drift boat either to hammond bay the ocqueoc or maybe swan bay this weekend if the weather is nice... will give you a report sunday. Stoped by the boat launch at ocqueoc wend. and saw a few silvers swimming up the river.

I fished the river a few weeks ago and my kids had fun catching smallies . I fish it sometimes in november and sometimes get a couple of steelies but usually dont . 10 years ago i used to catch aton of brookies and a few rainbows but now they are rare.i believe you have to go further inland towards the falls for trout wich i dont do seeing i have a place on the lake and its just not as convieniant . believe it or not i have never been up for the salmon run. I also herd that the nice new boat lauch was kind of a waste of money because the river is to shallow to get any size water craft out on the big water without having to get out and push.
