Fresh Lake St. Clair Fishing Reports

If you're unfamiliar with fishing the waters in Wyandotte or the Detroit River, book a tour and learn how the tricks of the trade.

GREAT FISHING TRIP, AND REALLY ENJOYED TIME WITH CAPTAIN KEVIN, AND A GREAT WAY TO SPEND TIME WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS, ON THE WATER FISHING FOR WALLEYE.

Get out there with a quality crew and boat like Scaled Up Fishing. You will learn what you need to have a great fishing experience.

Early April til early May is best, get a good captain late scouts out the area and have a great time.

Be sure to go at least once with a Charter Captain who is experienced in fishing the Detroit River so he knows the current and specific areas to go to find fish. Met others that day who had gone out on their own and caught nothing.

Be ready to catch fish and enjoy a world class fishery in the Detroit River

Just enjoy yourself. Remember that it is called fishing, not catching. Being out on the water is just the stress relief you need to reset.

We caught 3 walleye and a multitude of perches - small - so probably go twice to increase chances of catching a sizeable one. Was a pretty good day ln the water anyway - with a very enjoyable Eric. Thanks,

Make sure you dress for the weather. The river is wide and the wind will certainly be a factor for how cold it is going to be on the water. Nothing worse than getting into the fish and having a bad day because you are under dressed. You can always take some clothes off. I recommend that you go with someone that has experience with fishing the river for your first trip.

Listen to the Captain. His instructions are key to your experience of getting Hooked Up!

About Time Charters is the charter to choose when looking to book a trip for walleye. Captain Damon is really nice, has great equipment and gets the fish! You won't be disappointed. Sincerely, Jim

You can expect to catch bigger fish in April but the number of fish caught might be better in late or May. The weather conditions and water temperatures can make fishing in early April at times a bit difficult. We had to reschedule a trip as a result of bad weather.

Get somebody that knows the Detroit river and Lake Erie like captain Nick does.

If you have never been on Lake St. Clair, prepare for having a great time. Bring lots of sun screen a hat and some cold drinks. What you expect to happen can become a trip of a lifetime and the possibilities are always there to catch that dream fish! I grew up on Lake St. Clair and loved it and it is one the best places to fish in the world.

Helps to have a knowledgeable captain who knows the area and technique for catching the fish you're after

Hire a guide if your new to the Detroit walleye fishery as the crowds can be heavy.

Wear layers a hat and take instructions. The Capt knows what he’s doing.

It was a little slow after all the rains and water was cold for this time of year, but overall it was good. Dress in layers. Bring gloves. It's chilly.
