I went today and I tried to fly fish it without any succes. Nevertheles, I saw other fishermen, using bait, that caught some reaaally nice steelheads.
I don't know if it is possible to fish with flies this site. It would be interesting since it is open all year round and has trophy trouts.

Unless you really weigh down your righ and use the chuck n duck method.

the only way you could fly fish that section is with a sinking line, and then trying to chuck a line out far enough is another challenge

I've never fished there but there isn't much water that can't be covered with a fly rod if you have the right technique, rod, and line combo. Apache is onto it, or better yet a 13' rod should easily cover any distance you need to fish at.

Instead of working the trench or channel, why not try heading out more towards the lake along the break wall and using a sinking line, fish streamers preferably big bait fish imitating streamers...Karl Weixlmann in his book on great lakes steelhead fly fishing dedicates a chapter on fishing the beaches/mouths of river and even into the big water just off shore.
You would need the right equipment to do it but its possible, also chuck and duck would be an acceptable nymphing technique for this area.

I fish the lower parts of rivers and river mouths of huron with a fly rod using baitfish patterns and leeches and have had success. I mainly fish these areas when fish are starting to stage, but anytime the fish are running is good. Try different techniques, crawl your leeches when the water is cold, and strip aggressively if the fish are active.
