I'm over in Michigan covering an FLW Walleye event, and have had a couple anglers tell me they had muskies or pike on, are there Muskies in the river that anyone knows of or are the culprits Pike?

Steve- Don't see why there wouldn't be muskies there as its the outlet of Lake St. Clair, i.e., between St Clair & Lake Erie.

This article says they are there.

Have fun! Looks like walleye weather.

Steve
We had caught muskies walleye fishing in the reef complex in the spring with 40 degree water!

There's a guide named Jon Bondy that developed a bait just for jigging muskies in the river. He catches a ton of them there this time of year from what I have read in several articles.

One of the next bite episodes was filmed there and aired a few weeks back.

Season opens the first Saturday in June.

Just to be clear, Jon Bondy would not be targeting muskies at this time of year.
