Detroit River Walleye

The Detroit River during the vibrant springtime is undoubtedly one of the most prolific walleye fisheries in the entire country. It witnesses the largest walleye migration in the world, with millions of Lake Erie walleye making their way up the Detroit River to spawn and continue their life cycle. Our expertly guided fishing charters offer an unparalleled experience on these fruitful waters.

Vertical jigging is widely recognized as the preferred technique for catching walleye in the Detroit River, and we have years of valuable experience utilizing this method to consistently put our clients on the fish. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a novice, we're here to ensure a memorable fishing adventure.
