The spring steelhead migration is on in Indiana

As of March 28, a total of 2,181 steelhead have been counted moving past the South Bend fish ladder.
 The ladder is passing an average of 165 fish/day. This brings the total steelhead count up to 3,216 fish since the run began last fall. Steelhead fishing was good last week with good numbers of fish being reported. Fish ladder operators from Bodine State Fish Hatchery are seeing good numbers of fish in the ladders as well. Time to fish!

River water levels are good for both boat and shore fisherman. River temperature is 46 degrees. The St. Joe River web report will now be updated weekly until the spring migration is over sometime in late April or early May.
