Fishing
As a large lake between the United States and Canada, Lake St. Clair is home to many different species of game fish. One can expect to find fish that prove challenging to even the most experienced of fishermen. On the contrary, there are also many species of fish in Lake St. Clair that are excellent for a casual day on the water. Due to the largely diverse fish populations, Lake St. Clair is the ideal location for anglers of all skill levels. Fish species in St. Clair include perch, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, walleyes, crappie and even the monstrous muskie. St. Clair is home to large muskie and bass; records are often set in various locations throughout the lake. 
While many locations tend to only provide a successful fishing experience with one or two particular fishing methods, there are endless possibilities with the number of methods that can be used at St. Clair. Because of the diverse population of fish, trolling, surf fishing, pier fishing, and boat fishing all tend to be quite successful. Depending on the day and weather conditions, light tackle, jigs, and bottom rigs have all proven to be great tools to the fishermen who uses them correctly. The prized muskie can be caught year round in different locations. As a rule of thumb, muskie can be caught in deeper waters in the winter and shallow waters as the weather gets warmer. Trolling and surf rods with heavy tackle have proven successful in past years. 
Facilities
Lake St. Clair is surrounded by convenient facilities that will make visits comfortable and memorable. For owners of large boats, St. Clair has numerous private marinas that allow for visitors and permanent residents to moor their vessels. Most of these marinas also have fueling stations that are necessary for anyone who wishes to fish from a motor-operated craft. These marinas are also the home to many delicious restaurants that are sure to satisfy one's appetite after a long day of exciting fishing. For the owners of small vessels, motor boats, canoes, or kayaks, there are numerous boat landings and piers that are scattered along the shore of Lake St. Clair. These allow for easy entry and exit to and from the water at several locations. Some of these piers are for fishing only, so it is important to do research beforehand. These fishing-only piers often have tackle and bait shops, so there is never a shortage of supplies for fishermen who may have forgotten something. Running water and bathrooms are also available.
The Lake
St. Clair is a cold, fresh water lake. At its maximum natural depth, it is 23 feet. This is where most anglers who prefer to use bottom rigs do most of their fishing. Lake St. Clair is deeper in one location known as the navigation channel. This artificial channel is 27 feet in depth and is for the traffic of freight ships only. It is wise for fishermen to avoid this area. In total, Lake St. Clair is 430 square miles in area.

Lake St. Clair is the perfect location for anglers of all skill levels.
