About this water
The lower Platte River near Honor is one of Michigan's premier salmon and steelhead streams, with spectacular fall Coho salmon runs drawing anglers from across the region. The river is small and intimate, making it ideal for fly fishing with spey rods or single-hand rods. The Platte River State Fish Hatchery nearby supports the salmon and steelhead program that makes this river famous.
