Walleye entering the Detroit River from Lake Erie or Lake St. Clair follow defined migrations route during pre-spawn. Knowing where and more importantly, when, each route is used is key to early season success.
Pre-Spawn Migration Notes

In the past decade or so much has changed in the Detroit River and Lake Erie, changes that do affect how, when, and where walleye migrate. Ali looks at how decreased ice and snow cover, lack of warm water discharges, algae and other factors have changed the pre-spawn migration.
Changes in Erie Notes

Once walleye enter the river; they will follow distinct paths and structures as they move upriver looking for spawning habitat and food. Knowing these routes will help you cash in on big pre-spawn females.
Pre-Spawn Movements Notes

Lance discusses the 3 main factors that make up a great spawning area and how to spot them. Plus, he shows us some of his favorite river spots to catch BIG fish.
Spawn Locations Notes

After spawning walleye are ready to put the feedbag on and some of the best fishing of the year starts! Knowing how and where walleye move at this time can put more fish in your livewell.
Post-Spawn Movements Notes

As walleye head back to Lake Erie, conditions will dictate how long they stay in the river, how far and fast they move into Lake Erie and where they stop to feed. Ali covers the Post-spawn dispersal with a mix of science and fishing knowledge to put you on more fish.
Post-Spawn Dispersal Notes

Lance and Mark discuss the “basic” vertical jigging approach to catching Detroit River walleye AND discuss changes they made when fishing got tough in 2021. They also discuss some “nontraditional” presentations you need in your arsenal.
Presentations Notes
