Why Lake St. Clair?

    •    Prime Habitat: With its shallow depth (averaging 11 feet), large size, and mix of weed beds, reefs, and open water, Lake St. Clair offers ideal conditions for walleye.
    •    Seasonal Abundance: Walleye fishing is productive throughout the year, particularly during spring and fall when the fish move into shallower waters to feed.
    •    Accessible Fishing: Its proximity to Detroit and other cities makes it a convenient destination for anglers.

When to Fish Walleye

    •    Spring (April to June): During the post-spawn period, walleye are active and can be found along river mouths, drop-offs, and channels.
    •    Summer (July to August): Walleye spread out into deeper water, requiring trolling or drifting techniques.
    •    Fall (September to November): Cooler waters bring walleye back into shallower areas, making casting and jigging highly effective.
