FISH LAKE ST. CLAIR
ONE OF NORTH AMERICA'S GREAT MUSKIE LAKES
Lake St. Clair is one of the great Musky fisheries in North America. On lakes in other parts of the country, Muskies are known as the fish of 10,000 casts; on Lake St. Clair days of 10 or more happen frequently.

SUMMER From mid June through early September, days of 10 to 20 fish in the boat happen regularly. Our best day last season was in late July, When we landed 28 Muskies, with the largest 48". Our biggest fish for the year, also caught in late July, measured 51 1/4" and weighed approximately 39 lbs. The huge fish was successfully released. Average weight is generally in the 10 to 17 lbs. range, with larger fish (some over 25 lbs) caught almost every trip.

FALL Although it's possible to catch a really big fish anytime, most are caught from mid September through late fall. Not as many are caught, days of 5 to 10 or more are the norm, but more fish over 30 lbs and some approaching 40 lbs. are taken during this time of year. A Muskie with a certified weight of 40 lbs. 11 oz. was caught last October.

COMBINATION TRIPS - MUSKIES AND SMALL MOUTH BASS Lake St. Clair is also one of the country's best Small Mouth bass lakes. Try a combination trip, one day for Muskies and the next for Small Mouth, or 1/2 day at each. The largest bass caught by one of our customers last year was 21". Combination trips are great fun for family days with the kids.

As members of the Michigan Ontario Musky Club, when Musky fishing, we practice catch and release.
