Friday, Apr 26 2024
This site is owned by the DNR and provides good tailwater fishing below Allegan Dam. This site is below the first barrier between the Kalamazoo River and Lake Michigan. Paddlers and small watercraft can access the Kalamazoo River that flows through the Allegan State Game Area for most of the entire length downstream to Lake Michigan. Brown trout are rarely caught in this area but can provide anglers with occasional catches during fall or spring months. Rainbow trout/steelhead provide anglers with opportunities to catch these fish during late fall, winter, and spring. Kalamazoo River is not designated as a trout stream in this area, but anglers can catch stocked rainbow trout/steelhead during late fall, winter, and spring months in the river. Other resident fish include smallmouth bass, channel catfish, flathead catfish, and suckers. Walleye are stocked in the river along with Chinook Salmon to provides seasonal fishing opportunities for these species.
