I guess that I should add that the Jordan is a small river. 7/8 foot fly rods for 3 or 4 weight lines work well. If salmon are in the river not much else will be active. They require a nine weight with a large capacity reel and you will still have no chance with many of them on those small streams. If you prefer not to fish the salmon you need to get above a dam that keeps them out. The Boardman near Traverse city ( a tourist mecca for non fishers) or the Au Sable came to mind. At that time of year you are just on the cusp of the main salmon activity. I usually figure the first week in October is when the run gets too heavy for any trout action here to the South of Boyne but that varies from year to year.
