The walleye opener in the Lower Peninsula started out slow due to cold water temperatures. There have been very few reports of smelt activity around the state. Warm rains along with warm temperatures may bring the fish in. Anglers are reminded that bass season does not open until the 3rd Saturday in June on Lake St. Clair, Detroit River and the St. Clair River. All other waters in the state not otherwise closed to fishing will open on the Saturday before Memorial Day, May 24th.
