Fishing in Lake St. Clair

Lake Saint Clair, situated between Michigan and Ontario as part of the Great Lakes system, is a world-renowned freshwater fishing destination celebrated for its exceptional Musky, Walleye, and Smallmouth Bass populations. This expansive, shallow lake offers year-round opportunities, with ice fishing dominating winter months and trophy-class action flourishing spring through fall. Anglers consistently target Musky—the "fish of 10,000 casts"—in these fertile waters, which yield record-breaking specimens particularly from June through October.

The lake's clear waters and diverse structure also support prolific Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, and Perch fisheries, alongside seasonal surges of Sturgeon, Northern Pike, and White Bass. Spring and fall ignite intense Walleye migrations, while summer draws anglers to legendary Smallmouth hauls and surface-feeding Musky. Sturgeon fishing, opening mid-July, adds a prehistoric thrill for adventurous anglers seeking powerful battles.

Professional charters operate extensively across Lake Saint Clair, launching from key Michigan hubs like Detroit, Saint Clair Shores, and Harrison Charter Township, as well as Canadian access points including Lakeshore. These expert-guided trips cater to all experience levels, leveraging local knowledge to navigate prime fishing grounds efficiently. Whether pursuing a multi-species adventure or targeting specific trophies, Lake Saint Clair delivers unparalleled freshwater action in the heart of the Great Lakes.

Lake St. Clair Fishing Seasons

January

Lake St Clair is covered in ice at the start of the year, but don’t let that stop you! Hardy anglers can hook into Walleye, Pike, Perch, and more.

February

Winter fishing continues, with few anglers to be found on the lake aside from those who are setting up camp and carving holes in the ice!

March

As average temperatures start climbing past 40°F, the lake begins to thaw. Anglers within reach of open water can get a headstart on Walleye fishing.

April

Many Lake St Clair charter boats are up and running, ready to make the most of the peak seasons for Bass and Walleye. Book your trip early, cause they’re filling up fast!

May

May is all about variety on Lake St Clair: Bass, Walleye, and Perch are all biting vigorously, and Musky season is just around the corner.

June

Hit the water for some of Lake St Clair’s most popular catches, including trophy Musky, Pike, Bass, and Perch!

July

The fishing keeps on getting better, as the season for trophy Musky continues and Sturgeon fishing re-opens. Pike, Walleye, and Perch are all at their peak.

August

Smallmouth Bass head to deeper water during the hottest time of year, but you can still land a quality catch with a little know-how. Let a local guide show you where these bad boys are hiding!

September

You never know what you’ll hook into come September—anything from Musky, Pike, or Perch to Catfish could be on the end of your line. 

October

Anglers can hook into up to 20 Muskies in a day! The Pike and Perch bites are slowing down, but you can still expect good action through the end of the year.

November

Bass fishing can be excellent in fall, while Musky and Pike continue to provide good action. Some charter boats will keep running until the ice sets in around mid-November.

December

Come December, you’ll see anglers setting up their ice shanties on Lake St Clair. You’ll have to work a little harder for your catch, but you can still hook into Walleye and more.
