Steelhead fishing continues to provide good action on the St. Joseph River, while lake fishing is slowly coming around.
Steelhead continue to filter into the river although the spring run is near its peak. More than 2,800 steelhead have moved into South Bend so far and anglers are enjoying success.
Theres a lot of fish on the gravel right now, said Dick Parker of Central Park Bait in Mishawaka. The river is in great shape; a little low but the water is clean. I know of a few 12-pounders being caught.
Flies, fresh spawn and Corkies drifted over the gravel have been good baits.

One of Michianas most prestigious sportfishing clubs is on the brink of dissolving.
As bad as I hate to say, that looks like the direction were heading, said Patty Schmaltz, Michiana Steelheaders board member and secretary-treasurer.
Schmaltz and her husband Jeff, the club president, have been carrying the weight of the Steelheaders leadership for the past few years. No one wants to take over or help out.
Were overloaded and have been trying to get nominations for these offices and nobody wants to step up, said Schmaltz. We dont mind helping but its gotten to be too much. We both hate to see this end, but we cant do it anymore.
