About Your Trip

Join Captain Keith in Lincoln Park for an exciting spring walleye jigging trip on the Detroit River during the peak of the annual walleye run in April. This is one of the most productive times of year on the river, when massive numbers of walleye move through the system on their way to spawn before returning to Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair.

Jigging the Detroit River during this season offers fast-paced fishing in a strong current environment where you’ll work vertical presentations along river structure and holding areas. The combination of steady action and highly targeted fishing makes this a favorite spring trip for anglers looking to fill the freezer with fresh walleye.

Beyond the fishing, the trip also offers a unique perspective of the Detroit skyline from the water, adding to the overall experience as you fish one of the Great Lakes’ most well-known river systems.

The spring run can bring in an incredible concentration of fish, creating one of the most anticipated freshwater fishing events in the region. Whether you're an experienced angler or new to walleye fishing, this trip provides an opportunity to experience the Detroit River during its peak season with Captain Keith at the helm.
