Does anyone know when catch and release season opens on Lk. St. Clair for bass.  Also the inland lakes in Michigan.  I can't wait to get out.  I have an EXTREME case of cabin fever.

Thanks,

As far as i know, inland lakes are catch & release year 'round. Not sure about St. Clair though....

Oh i forgot...Maltese Falcon would know, maybe he will see your question on st. clair.

I could be off here, but I now St.Clair is behind normal and I thought it was the 3rd Saturday in June. But I think that is to Harvest, I think it is catch and immediate release the last Saturday in April as I know they have paper tournaments on St.Clair in May.

Far as i know last saturday of april is C&R only on st.clair,last saturday of june is harvest.

Inland lakes C&R starts April 1st. Opening day of harvest is May 24th on inland lakes.

Why the difference i don't know. :-?

I think it is to protect the small mouth spawn.

Hi Jack, Grimlin is right. Catch and release starts the last Saturday of April.
