Detroit River: Perch fishing was decent, with some bigger ones being caught off the south end of Grosse Ile and in the canals around Gibraltar, as well as in the bays and marinas. The occasional walleye has been caught.

Lake St. Clair: The lake is full of broken ice. Ice conditions are extremely dangerous, and anglers should stay off any remaining ice. Most launches were still iced-in, but it will not take long for them to open up. The Harley Ensign and Brandenburg launches were open, and the docks are in at Harley Ensign. Be sure to keep an eye on wind direction and drifting ice. Shore and dock anglers were seeing an increase in panfish activity and were doing especially well on pumpkinseeds.

St. Clair River: Most of the river is open, but there is some slush and ice flowing down from Lake Huron. A couple walleye were caught recently, but the action was still light.
