There are several Sturgeon Rivers in the state of Michigan. This Sturgeon River is in the Eastern Upper Peninsula and flows south for 63 miles to the Big Bay de Noc of Lake Michigan. Much of the stream flows thru the Hiawatha National Forest and has a number of access points. Despite this the fishing pressure is usually low. The Sturgeon is large for a trout stream and is a great place to cast a 9' 5wt fly rod. There are brook trout and brown trout throughout most of the stream as well as runs of steelhead and some salmon. During summer the water does get a bit warm and the trout probably seek cooler water in the many smaller tributaries such as Mormon Creek.
