Lake St. Clair Ice Fishing Update: Walleye, Perch, and Panfish Biting Strong

# Lake St. Clair Fishing Report

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Lake St. Clair fishing update on this early January morning.

We're looking at solid ice fishing conditions across the lake right now. Just yesterday, January 3rd, the fishing report indicated strong activity for walleye, perch, and panfish—exactly what you want to see heading into the new year. The ice is holding up well, so get out there while you can.

For species, walleye and perch are your best bets this time of year. Recent reports show consistent catches of both, with perch being particularly active. If you're targeting panfish, they're responding well too. The bite's been steady, so you don't need to overthink it.

For your setup, stick with classic ice fishing techniques. Live bait—especially shiners and minnows—will serve you well for walleye. Small jigs tipped with perch eyes or maggots work fantastic for perch. If you want to throw artificials, small spoons and jigging lures in silver and gold finishes get the job done. Light tackle fishing with finesse presentations is the way to go in these cold conditions.

Hit the shallower flats near St. Clair Shores or work the deeper channel areas where walleye congregate. The transition zones between shallow and deep water are consistently productive right now.

Bundle up, bring your best gear, and get out on that ice. The fishing's solid, and conditions like these don't last forever.
