I haven't heard of any fish upstream from there, but it's just a matter of time. Several different fishing methods can be effective. Fly fishermen cast large dark flies like a Woolly Bugger or anything that looks like spawn. You try to coax a fish into striking. The salmon strike out of aggression.
Chinooks are one of several species that make runs from Lake Michigan into the tributaries.
By mid-October, you'll have chinooks, brown trout and cohos all represented in good numbers. In the last week or so at the DNR fish weir on the Root River in Racine, Coffaro said, DNR staff captured, weighed, measured and released well over 1,000 salmon. This is early for the cohos. You usually don't see them till October. The Chambers Creek run usually starts in November and they spawn in March and April.
