    June 22, 2025 Chicago Lake Michigan Fishing Report - Cohos Shine, Smallies Sizzle
    Jun 22 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your Chicago Lake Michigan fishing report for June 22, 2025.

    Sunrise hit the water at 5:16 a.m., and sunset’s coming at 8:30 p.m., giving us a long stretch of daylight to wet a line. Weather-wise, it’s classic early summer in Chicago: the mercury is sitting in the mid-80s, with clear skies and a moderate breeze rolling in off the lake around 14 mph. Water temps along the shore are warming up, which is bringing a ton of action close to the city front.

    Fish activity is up, especially for coho salmon. According to the latest from the Chicago Lakefront Fishing Report, cohos are shining right now as the water warms, with most boats and pier anglers reporting solid catches. Folks are regularly pulling in 15 to 25 fish per trip, with a few chinook salmon—some tipping the scale at 14 to 16 pounds—mixed in for good measure. The action for kings is expected to ramp up even more as summer gets deeper, but right now coho are the headliners.

    Smallmouth bass are also going gangbusters, with some crews landing 30-plus fish per outing, especially around structures and rocky patches near harbors and breakwalls. Captain Experiences reports that this bite is “insane” lately, so bring your bass gear if you’re after some big bronzebacks.

    The hot lures this week? If you’re trolling for salmon, orange dodgers paired with small peanut flies are the ticket. Top colors include Willy fly, Next Gen, Green Howie, and Two Tone. Run your dipsies out 10 to 20 feet on the line counter, and set your riggers shallow—7 to 9 feet down is working great. For casting from shore, flashy spoons and minnow-imitating crankbaits are catching both salmon and trout, especially early in the morning and right before sunset.

    If you’re chasing smallmouth, tube jigs in green pumpkin and crayfish patterns are putting in work. Nose-hooked drop-shot rigs with finesse baits are also a good bet around the rocks and harbor mouths.

    Top hotspots right now are Montrose Harbor and Burnham Harbor—these spots have been consistent producers for both salmon and smallies. The stretch off the Navy Pier has also been reliable, especially for early risers working the breakwalls before the boat traffic picks up.

    There’s no significant tidal swing to worry about on Lake Michigan, but keep an eye out for wind direction—west winds can push warmer water up against the shore and ignite the bite.

    "Lakefront Lures: Coho Crush, Trout Tricks, and Winds on the Rise - Chicago Fishing Report 06/21/2025"
    Jun 21 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your fresh Lake Michigan fishing report straight from the Chicago lakefront for Saturday, June 21, 2025.

    Sunrise came today at 5:15 AM and sunset’s scheduled for 8:31 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work those lines. The weather’s classic early summer—comfortable temps sitting in the low to mid 70s, mostly sunny skies, and a bit of a southwest blow. According to the National Weather Service, be ready for winds gusting up to 35 knots this afternoon, with waves building from 2 to 5 feet as the day rolls on. That means boaters should keep a sharp eye on conditions and maybe stick closer to shore if things get bumpy.

    Lake Michigan’s June bite is firing up and the fish are cooperating. Coho salmon are the star of the show along the Chicago lakefront, especially around Montrose Harbor and Diversey Harbor, where limits of 2 to 6 pounders have been fairly common this week. Occasional fish are still pushing 8 pounds for those running dodgers and flies or bright orange and green spoons around 45 feet down. Out past the breakwalls, deeper water (120-160 feet) remains productive for both coho and scattered Chinook.

    Lake trout action is hanging tough off the first drop and around the crib, with blue baits and spin-n-glos drawing consistent strikes. Early morning and late evening are prime times—those trolling slow and deep are seeing steady numbers.

    Brown trout and a few hefty steelhead continue to pop up for patient anglers working the rocks and harbor mouths. Shorecasters have been pulling in browns on silver/green spoons and even the odd nightcrawler rig at sunrise.

    If you’re looking for hotspots, Montrose Harbor and Navy Pier are the go-to for steady coho and brown action, while Burnham Harbor’s outer walls are a solid bet for mixed-catch opportunities. Try the North Side piers for a shot at some bonus smallmouth, especially with plastics or deep-diving swimbaits in the 7-14 foot range.

    Best baits this week: coho dodgers and flies, blue/green spoons, and classic spawn sacs for trout. For lakers, go with blue spin-n-glos or cowbells trolled slow and steady. Early risers will get the best bite, especially before boat traffic kicks up and the chop sets in.

    That’s your rundown for today, June 21, 2025. Be safe out there, watch those winds, and keep those lines tight. Thanks for tuning in and don’t forget to subscribe for more daily updates.

  • Chicago Lakefront Fishing Report: Coho Salmon Shine as Temps Rise on June 21, 2025

    Chicago Lakefront Fishing Report: Coho Salmon Shine as Temps Rise on June 21, 2025
    Jun 21 2025
    Artificial Lure here, bringing you the up-to-the-minute fishing scoop straight from the heart of Chicago’s Lake Michigan shoreline for Saturday, June 21st, 2025.

    Weatherwise, we’re waking up to a comfortable June morning, with temps slated to rise from the mid-60s up into the mid-70s by midday, under mostly clear skies. The humidity is moderate at around 56%, and we’ve got a gentle breeze clocking in at about 10 mph out of the south, so the lake is serving up manageable 1-2 foot waves—ideal for both pier and boat anglers. Sunrise hit at 5:16 AM, and sunset will close our day at 8:29 PM, giving you a long window to chase the bite. No tides on the big lake, but expect a steady lake level from week to week according to historical records from the Chicago Midway International Airport and Weather25.com.

    Now, on to the fishing! The main headline is coho salmon—still the star along the Chicago lakefront. Boat anglers are landing them both shallow (50-80 feet) and out deeper (up to 160 feet). Coho dodgers and flies remain the top ticket, especially trolled around 45 feet down. Spoons in blue, green, and orange are getting bit, with early mornings being prime time before the sun gets high. While the peak run has passed, expect scattered but solid action for another week or two. A few Chinook are also showing in the mix, especially out deeper, and big lakers remain steady off the first bank, with blue baits and cowbells the top producers. According to KidsFishingAdviser.com and the latest spooled-up local podcasts, you can expect to see mixed cooler bags with coho, a few Chinook, and bonus lake trout for those willing to put in the miles.

    From shore, Montrose and Diversey Harbors have been giving up a handful of coho and some stout smallmouth bass. Shore anglers are finding success on small shiny spoons and swim baits, especially in the early hours. Park Bait Shop reports that crawlers, large minnows, and even spawn sacs are getting attention around the slips—and don’t sleep on the slip bobber setups for the bonus bite. Smallmouth bass activity is climbing, with the warm water drawing them closer to rocks and breakwalls.

    Hotspots today:
    - Montrose Harbor: Early morning into mid-morning for coho and lake trout, with bonus bass action in the rocks.
    - Burnham Harbor: Consistent for mixed species, especially on the outer walls and near the mouth.
    - The first bank off the Chicago light: For boaters willing to troll blue or green spoons and dodgers, you’ll find lake trout stacked up and occasional schools of salmon moving through.

    Remember—perch season is open, but catches remain spotty, so keep your expectations in check. If you’re chasing bass, stick to plastics and live bait around structure.

    That’s the scoop for June 21st—thanks for tuning in, anglers! Be sure to subscribe for your daily dose of on-the-water intel and never miss a bite. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease dot ai.
