Detroit River:  Some anglers were getting two to four walleye on jigs and minnows in the Trenton Channel.  Boat anglers will still need to watch for occasional ice coming down the river.   

Lake St. Clair:  Fishing activity has been very limited due to cold temperatures and northeast winds.  Most of the canals and marinas still have some lingering ice. Good reports came in from shore and a few boat anglers catching panfish and perch in the canals.  As for boat launches, Harley Ensign is open with four docks in.  Selfridge is open but no docks were in and anglers were still not able to launch at the Clinton River Cutoff.  Fairhaven was still iced in.   

St. Clair River:  Also had limited fishing activity because of the cold and windy conditions.  The launch in the North Channel had no docks in yet.  At Marine City, the large tree was removed and crews were working on removing the root system.  No docks were in yet as they cannot be put in until the buoys are in due to navigation hazards when exiting the launch.  The buoys cannot go in until the large ice slabs clear the river.
