Hows the walleye fishing In lake saint clair?

Ill be hitting the lake in another week and was wondering if walleye are being caught or should I focus on Muskie? Is the night bite on yet? Any info anyone could give me would be great.
I fish Erie often, but will be in the Saint Clair area visiting an old friend. Thought Id drag the boat with me and do a little fishing while in Michigan.

no lakes can compare to Lake Erie in walleye fishing, but this summer is better than many in the past. don’t plan on making walleye for dinner, but you just might get lucky enough to find a school or 2. try and check the fishing reports for St. Clair when you get here. Best of luck.

What are the best saltwater fishing reels?

I’m looking for a quality fishing reel that will last a long time. I have used almost a dozen of fishing reels over the years and I can’t seem to find a reel that does not break within a year!!!. I fished with a Penn reel and even that failed on me!!!. I don’t want to spend more than $65.00. Any suggestions?

I Fish the Salt water surf real hard, almost every day in season. I have been using 2 Cabelas Salt Striker Metal for 4 years now and they are still 100% mechanically and smooth, the paint is a little chipped but that’s normal. Here are some tips to keeping your reels working great.
1. Unscrew the reel case(were the gears are) and pack it with red or blue bearing grease. I mean PACK IT. This helps keep most of the salt water and sand from getting to your gears and corroding them.

2.Try to rinse your reel with fresh water every-time or at least most of the times you return from a trip, especially if it fall in the sand or water.

3. Clean out the reel grease once a year and pack it with new grease.

You won’t be disappointed with this reel, here it is, make sure its the METAL one, there are two models, the other one has a plastic body and will not last. Oh by the way, if you don’t like the color of the SS Metal, I believe the Pfleugar Medalist is the same reel, I will try to post it. Good Luck

Alaska Fly Fishing Trips: What should I take with me?

Hi there,
Can any one help me… i m planing for fly fishing trip in Alaska. Although i dnt know what things i should take with me. Please help guys!

some of this will have been covered by airflows post.

I spent 3 months living out of a backpack traveling alaska. #1 bug dope, highest deet % you can find. alaska is a mosquito infested swamp, it will be worse than you have heard depending on where/when you go. if it isn’t the skeets it’ll be the noseeums. it gets bad enough to be comical….

spare clothes and make sure you have warm stuff and raingear. I went from wearing everything I had up by denali NP one day to sweltering in 99 degree temps in fairbanks in a couple of hours, expect about anything. I brought along a heavy canvas button up shirt for no good reason and found it was an excellent skeet proof shirt, I wore it the whole summer….

bring an extra bottle of bug dope.

fishing gear, you can catch pretty much everything on flys and will likely use them even if you don’t fly fish. at times you can tie a piece of orange yarn on a hook and catch one after another till your arms are sore. chest waders will be way handy, I’d be in felt soles with cleats. do as much reading now as you can, know how to fish deep for salmon and trout before you get up there. have all the gear you need before you show up.

put an extra bottle of bug dope in you fishing vest…..

now, I wanna talk about bears. when you get off the plane in anchorage there is a giant stuffed bear, you’ll walk right by it on the way through the airport. go and stand next to the stuffed bear, it’s important. note the front paws at head height, see that it stands 12 or more feet tall, make jokes about it, then go out and go fish. everywhere I went in AK, and I went all over people I met would tell me "this is one of the worst bear areas in the state". I heard it everywhere, where ever you go, there will be bears. I camped for 3 months and if I had it to do all over I’d have bought the biggest can of bear spray I can find right off. I kept running across and bending down and putting my hands down in these giant tracks that would dwarf my hand with fingers spread as far as I could….. while walking through dense chin high cranberry bushes along beautiful salmons streams. it’s scary up there, they darted grizzlies in downtown anchorage the year I was up there. take my word for it buy the bear spray.

bring a nice camera, alaska may be a mosquito infested swamp but it is beautiful, take lots and lots of pic’s.

got the bug dope?
