Detroit Fishing Reports

Latest Detroit River and Lake St Clair Fishing Reports

Trophy Fish Caught

Our recent reports from the Detroit River confirm that the quality of fish this season is exceptional. Anglers are consistently landing trophy walleye as the spring run hits its peak, with many fish pushing the 28-inch mark. While we don't target tropical fish in these northern latitudes, the cooler Michigan waters provide the ideal habitat for heavy-hitting muskellunge and massive blue catfish. We monitor real-time water clarity and temperature daily to ensure our guests are vertical jigging in the most productive lanes. These recent catches are a testament to our 50 years of local knowledge and our commitment to putting guests on the best bite in the region.
