Fly Fishing Lake St. Clair
In his book,
Michigan Blue-Ribbon Fly-Fishing Guide,
Bob Linsenman wrote "
Lake St. Clair is probably the best angling lake in an urban area on the
planet." and he recommends using a guide on this water. We whole-heartedly
agree.
Featured on ESPN outdoors, the lake has 2 pro bass circuits each year.
Largemouth and smallmouth will readily take a fly on St. Clair and are
great fighters on the fly rod, with the smallmouth bass being a favorite
target. Lake St. Clair is also home to two seperate bass master
tournaments. And if you are after a world record, don't forget to go
after some muskie, they have caught them in the 60 lb. range.
