AM on the PM: Early morning salmon fishing adventures on the legendary Pere Marquette River Hardcover – March 26, 2025

Explore the beauty of a special place and the bonds of friendship that make it unforgettable.If you spend any amount of time in a hunting or fishing camp, you quickly realize what brother and sisterhood really means. A collective of like-minded individuals pursuing something they love is always assured to build life-long bonds. The stories, the food, tying flies, coffee by the riverbank in the dark, pulling off a double, taking photos of the trophies, learning new techniques, and just being in the river together. We all have only so many sunsets and seasons that we can experience these moments, so we fully enjoy all of them.Every year, the crew ascends to Western Michigan for this vacation adventure we call “The Salmon Rodeo.” For anyone that has not caught a 30+ lb King Salmon, the experience is much like hooking into an angry bull.

All you can do is hold on and hope that you don’t run through your backing before someone can help you net the runaway beast.These are the early mornings and full days on the Pere Marquette River - AM on the PM.
