Detroit River
Those fishing the Gibraltar canal are getting perch, crappie and bluegills on minnows, wax worms, and spikes. Some nice yellow perch were caught at the south end of Grosse Ile in Airport Bay.

Lake St. Clair
Anglers are reminded that there is no parking allowed in front of or on the boat ramps at the boating access sites and there is no parking allowed in posted no parking zones within the access sites. The reason behind this is to keep these areas open for rescue personnel in case of an emergency out on the water. Anglers are using all the normal access points to get on the lake. There are some rough ice conditions around Lake St. Clair Metro Park and Harley Ensign due to windblown ice pack. As stated previously, ice conditions are incredibly variable and extreme caution should always be used. Perch fishing reports have been better than average from the north end of the lake.
