Late-Fall Salmon Run Adventure

Show Date: December 6, 2025

Location: Sheboygan River, Sheboygan County, Wisconsin

Guide: Tim Maher [(920) 604-4169]

We’re thrilled to climb back into the raft with guide Tim Maher, and this time we’re chasing a hard-fighting trifecta: steelhead, brown trout, and coho salmon. We managed to sneak this trip in just before Thanksgiving — and just before the big snowfall hit — giving us perfect late-fall conditions on the river.

Tim’s raft is truly one-of-a-kind. It’s built to slide into shallow stretches and tight bends that other boats simply can’t reach, letting us fish water that rarely sees a lure. Not only does it give us access to hidden spots, but it also lets us cover an impressive amount of river in a single day.

From the first hookup to the last, these fish put on incredible battles, making every catch a thrill. A fantastic day on the river — and the best part? Tim runs trips like this all winter long, whether the water is open or iced over.
