iFish Lake St. Clair

It’s that time of year again when the catch and release bass season starts on Lake St. Clair.  There will undoubtedly be reports of 100+ smallmouth catches per day.  The season opens this years on April 28th and all of the public launches are open.  For those that may not be familiar with the catch and release laws; here they are.

Catch-and-Immediate-Release seasons: On the following waters, bass may be caught and released during the seasons listed. All bass caught must be immediately (see common terms p. 5) returned to the water: L. St. Clair, St. Clair R. and Detroit R., from the last Sat. in April – Fri. before the 3rd. Sat. in June; All Lower Pen. waters including Great Lakes: Last Sat. in April – Fri. before Memorial Day; All Upper Pen. waters including Great Lakes: May 15 – Fri. before Memorial Day.

Good luck to all of the bass fishermen who come to enjoy such a great resource.  Please do your best to protect our fish so that we can continue to enjoy them for years to come.
