Thank You for a Great Season in Glen Arbor!

What an incredible season it has been on Lake Michigan! We wrapped up October with a beautiful mixed bag of king salmon and coho salmon. Four happy anglers, limits on the board, and memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you to everyone who fished with Reel Tales Charters this year — we can't wait to see you in 2027!

Salmon Fishing in Glen Arbor is Still Fantastic!!

It has been and still remains the best salmon fishing that I can remember in my 28 years as a captain. September should be another unbelievable month.

Fantastic Fishing

It's been a busy season and I got a little behind on the blog. Our fishing continues to be fantastic in Glen Arbor. Mornings have been very good for Kings and this should continue. Afternoon trips have been mostly limit catches as well.

Early Season Kings!

Along with some spectacular Lake Trout fishing this spring, we are seeing some nice King Salmon in the mornings out of Glen Arbor. Book your trip and get in on the hot action! Still have openings for Salmon trips in July and August.

Nice Mixed Bag Catches

Fishing continues to be good, in Glen Arbor, with nice mixed bagged catches of king salmon and lake trout. Stable weather should continue to bring the kings in. Lake trout fishing has been fantastic with many topping the scales.

Glen Arbor Fishing Update

Long overdue update. It's been a very busy summer with great crews out on Reel Tales! Our Salmon fishing has been spotty, but is improving. When we can't get the salmon to bite, we can still produce limit catches of Brown Trout and Lake Trout.

Fishing is HOT!!
