Despite COLD weather the fishing is heating up on the Detroit River. Earlier in the week with a full moon, a gentle breeze and warm temps walleye fishing was doing very well. Strong winds and cold temps have not slowed the bite much. Went out today Arpil 6 and was greeted with a wind chill of 14 degrees and water temps cooling to 38 degrees, but it did not stop the walleyes from co-operating.

It seems many of the larger fish are currently on the Ontario side of the Detroit River with smaller eaters thrown in. While on the Mich side many of those 18"-20" fish are being caught. Most are using chartruese colored jigs with a plastic minnow as a trailer.

Next week April 14 Extreme Angler TV season 5 will be shown on OLN Canada at 9am and 11:30am. For those that enjoy the great walleye and steelhead fishery shows 3-4-and 5 will include Wheatley steelhead, Lake Erie walleye using Northland worm harnesses and show 5 will have jigging the Detroit River.
