St Clair Bass Fishing Report #9 06 26 2026

Bass fishing in the Canadian portion of Lake St. Clair opens this Saturday – 06-27-2026. This makes large swatches of water available with smallmouth bass who have not been pressured this season. It truly is, one of the best times of the year to visit the South Shore. Get current information about U.S. waters, and Walpole, in this installment. The mayfly hatch is on but you will see an important trick in this video where you can make the hatch work to your advantage. The St. Clair River channels are waking up too! Spend some time with Ken and I as we work our way through this world-class fishery!
