What are the regulations on the Ocqueoc River lake run?

Ocqueoc River lake run regulations

The run corridor The mouth Ocqueoc Falls — the run stops here The piers — 9%

The pale water is where chinook were holding on 2026-09-30 — 91% of the run was still out on Lake Huron, which this picture does not reach. That day's gauge and lake readings were measured. Drawn 30 September 2026, north up, and it is a map of the river rather than of the lake it runs from.

Great Lakes tributary rules are their own rules, and they are not the inland trout regulations: seasons, gear and possession on run water differ by river and often by reach. MDNR's own guide is the regulation on the Ocqueoc River and this page is not. 3 run species are recorded on this corridor, and the season on each is the state's rather than the window on this site's calendar — a window is when the fish move and a season is when you may fish for them.

Where the rules are

Great Lakes tributary regulations are their own rules — seasons, gear and possession on run water differ from the inland trout regulations, and they differ by river and often by reach. Michigan's regulation summary on this site is here, and MDNR's own guide is the regulation.

Protected species

Nothing on this corridor's species list carries a restriction of its own in this site's files — no sturgeon, no coasters, no lake trout. The state's general Great Lakes tributary rules are what apply, and they are still not the inland trout rules.

The run species and their windows

A window is when the fish move and a season is when you may fish for them. These are the windows; the seasons are in the state's guide.
