Who doesn't love fishing on Lake St. Clair? Michigan spot ranked high on national list
Story by Johnathan Hogan, Port Huron Times Herald
"Earlier this month, Lake St. Clair has been named one of the best fishing spots in the United States by a website dedicated to booking fishing trips.
Fishing Booker chose Lake St. Clair as the third best place to fish on its recently published list of the 18 best lakes for fishing. The local lake was surpassed only by Lake Fork in Texas and Lake Okeechobee in Florida. But unlike those southern locations, in Lake St. Clair, sportsman will be dealing with Canadians and not Mexicans or Haitians respectively.
""First and foremost, there’s Smallmouth Bass. The Bass action on Lake St. Clair is so hot that it’s frequently ranked among the best Bass lakes in the US," the website wrote in its listing.
Located at the southern border of St. Clair County along the border between Michigan and Canada, Lake St. Clair was also listed as a great fishing spot because of its large muskellunge, northern pike and sturgeon. The nearby Detroit River was also noted as a great place to catch walleye, which are also common in the St. Clair River.
What else should anglers know about Lake St. Clair?
The listing is not the first time Fishing Booker has acknowledged the lake.
In March, the website published a guide to fishing on Lake St. Clair, which noted it has a significant population of largemouth bass in addition to its smallmouth bass. Both species tend to be found in deeper water during the summer months but move closer to the coast as the weather becomes cooler, according to Fishing Booker's guide.
The Lake is one of the most popular ice fishing locations in Michigan each year from January to mid-March when the surface freezes."
