If you're reading this, you probably remember your first fish and its impact on your life. Most anglers get their start early on in their lives and the reason is because somebody decided to take them fishing.

Theres good news for St. Joseph River walleye fishermen.

Just when we thought the steelhead run might be drawing to a disappointing close, here comes another slug of fish.
Bodine Hatchery Manager Dave Meuninck said about 275 steelhead pushed through the South Bend ladder last week, renewing hope that perhaps a good run might be salvaged after all.
Of the 275 trout recorded going through the ladder from Oct. 23-30, about 40 percent were Michigans winter run variety and the rest were Skamania, the latter of which should have been here a month or more ago.
