REMEMBER:  If the date on this report is a few days old it means we haven't heard anything since that time.  This is the latest word we have and would welcome your input with anything new.

ST. JOE PIERS:  Some news to report finally.  A few whitefish have been taken the last couple of days.  Browns have also been caught and coho aren't far behind.  Some guys are floating spawn, etc., on the river side for steelies.

ST. JOE RIVER:  We hear steelies are being taken, here and there, off and on, from the hospital to Pipestone Creek and up at the dam.  Pretty much the same report on walleye. (Walleye closes March 15) There were boats and shoreline fishermen at the dam, it was very popular today.
