They come upstream out of Lake Michigan. They get way bigger then that. My son caught one off the pier during a fishing tournament that was 12 pounds. He won second place. @Mossy1985 @John
Here are a few pics but non are as big as his 12 pounder. That pic is in an old phone. The fish with the flat tails are trout. The one with the other boys looking you will see the biggest the back fish has a flat tail. That is a steel head. The ones with fork tails are smaller salmon.

Alewives with a slip sinker and a floater. Have a barrel swivel tied on with slip sinker before swivel and a two to five foot leader with floater and alewive after swivel. Cast it out and after hits bottom reel in until you feel the swivel hit the sinker. Now you have your bait floating off the bottom to desired depth. I usually try three different depths until I get a hit then switch them all to that depth. During the run I use slip bobbers and salmon eggs try three drifts at one depth then if nothing hits keep going deeper. Usually start five feet under bobber.
Here alewives are the main food supply for the salmon. Have to catch them on our own with a dip net
