Little Bay de Noc: Anglers reported a slight uptick in walleye catches with the onset of this past week’s warm up. However, walleye success was limited. Anglers reported the most success with set lines, baited with sucker minnows or shiners. Yellow perch anglers reported fair fishing, with most anglers targeting structure near deep water in the upper bay. Anglers fishing shallow water perch report some success near Kipling.

Ice conditions were good, with people fishing the outer bay using machines. Minimal snowfall and few areas of snow drifts have made good conditions for motorized travel.

Les Cheneaux Islands: Anglers in Cedarville fished the Moscow Channel, Government Bay, Urie Bay, and Musky Bay. Musky Bay was full of undersized northern pike, with very few keeper perch reported. Urie Bay produced a few keepers but was slow.

In Hessel, anglers reported very few keeper perch, ever since the cold snap, fishing has been slow. There were not many splake caught or spotted lately. There were a few northern pike and smallmouth bass caught in Wilderness Bay.

Munising: The bite was slow this past week, anglers had some success with splake and whitefish in the bay with the occasional Herring. The coho salmon bite remained steady for anglers waiting it out for schools to come in. Anglers targeting perch reported a slow bite, with a few anglers finding success on them. Wax worms, minnows and eggs have been the preferred bait.
