Lake St. Clair is widely regarded as one of the top destinations in the country for world-class smallmouth bass fishing.

Covering an area of over 400 square miles, this wide open, mostly shallow, clear water lake is home to a huge population of smallmouth.

On the north end of the lake is the St. Clair River, which feeds the lake with a continuous flow of cool, clear water from Lake Huron.  In the southwest corner of the lake is the Detroit River, which connects Lake St. Clair to Lake Erie. These waters combine to create a diverse and extremely productive fishery that delivers great action all season long.

Lake St. Clair Smallmouth:

Most of our smallmouth fishing will take place on Lake St. Clair, although the St. Clair River and Detroit River will come into play based on the seasonal patterns and lake conditions at the time of your trip.

That means that there is an incredible amount of water available for us to fish.  Whether we are fishing the shallow flats and bays of the lake early in the season, the main lake humps and weedbeds in the summer, or the waters of the St. Clair and Detroit Rivers in the fall, the smallmouth are always biting somewhere!

Smallmouth trips begin when the season opens on the last Saturday in April, and run until around mid-November.

Detroit River Walleye:

Simply put, our walleye fishing will take place during the phenomenal spring run on the Detroit River. Literally tens of thousands of Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair walleye enter the Detroit River each spring in search of the perfect spawning grounds.

We will be using traditional river jigging techniques to catch these fish.  Big fish are common at this time of year as well, often pushing 5lbs or better!

Walleye trips begin around the first of April and run to the end of May.
