Made the 3 hour drive yesterday afternoon and stayed at the Holiday Inn overnight so we can have an early and rested start in the morning " it took us 3 years to finally get there with work and wheather conditions and many other reasons we kept postponing it "
Checked out the boat launch and water conditions yesterday evening
Visibility was not bad but the wind was blowing pretty good
This morning "Wednesday " that changed wind was down from yesterday but water was very dirty on the Canadian side
Being it's our first time and not knowing the river we went right across to the US side where water was 4-5' visibility and at 42.6 degrees
First drift we started from just above the Ambassador bridge following some of the Michigan fishing reports in 32-39' of water
First pass 4 fish in the boat
We ended the day at 2:00 PM with around 40 walleye boated and our limit in the cooler
All fish are 16-18" eater size males unfortunately we did not find any big girls to pose for pictures
I must say if you are planning to fish there
GO! its absolutely fantastic
Boat traffic was very sparse
Most damage was done on 3/4 0z purple and blue jig head with black finesse minnow 5" length , a good quality stinger hooks are a must
I'm looking forward already for next trip there soon
