But if you have sustained 30 mph winds out of the north 48 hours before you plan to fish, reschedule. "A south wind means you're golden," he says. Clair upstream." Bondy advises traveling anglers headed for Detroit to watch wind conditions two to three days prior to their trip. "Not from spring rains, like many people assume, but from strong north to northeast winds stirring up Lake St. "One negative thing to watch out for is muddy water," he says. But the numbers of walleyes keep increasing in the second to third week of April, and the crowds build as anglers from around the state and the region hit the river. "In an average spring, the last week of March and first 10 days of April offer your best chance at a giant.
"In a typical year I start guiding the last few days of March for early prespawn river walleye, and by sometime between April 8 and 12, most of them are spawned out," he adds. Within three days of ice-out, you have a good shot at a limit of fish. "It depends when the ice leaves the river," he says. Veteran Detroit River Guide Jon Bondy says the action typically heats up in April, but varies according to conditions. Waves of spawn-run walleyes flood the Detroit River from Lake Erie, boosting the river's population and offering some of the planet's best opportunities at boating behemoths topping 10 pounds. Hallowed waters include legendary Great Lakes tributaries like the Detroit and Maumee, but rivers large and small provide chances to join the game virtually coast to coast.
Many walleyes spawn along main-lake shorelines, but rivers attract more than their share of fish. Courtesy of the annual spawning migration, big numbers of walleyes roll into predictable places, offering anglers a variety of opportunities to enjoy fine fishing from the Prespawn through Postspawn periods. Across the Walleye Belt, early spring is prime time to tap some of the year's best bites.
