About the fishing here
Lake Huron is the second largest of the Great Lakes, with a long, island-studded Michigan shoreline and water that stays cold even in summer. Lake trout hold in the deeper basins year round, and walleye fishing picks up along the shallower flats and river mouths in spring. Conditions change fast on open water here, so check the marine forecast before running out from shore.
Popular catches here include Walleye and Lake Trout.
Walleye is generally most active around Apr-May, Oct-Nov. The best windows are usually dawn, day, dusk and night.
A state fishing license is required to fish here. Napp ranks the species above from the live weather, water temperature, season and time of day, so the order changes through the day.

About this water
Lake Huron is one of the five Great Lakes of North America. It is shared on the north and east by the Canadian province of Ontario and on the south and west by the U.S. state of Michigan. The name of the lake is derived from early French explorers who named it for the indigenous people they knew as Huron (Wyandot) inhabiting the region. Hydrologically, Lake Huron comprises the eastern portion of Lake Michigan–Huron, having the same surface elevation as Lake Michigan, to which it is connected by the wide and deep Straits of Mackinac. Combined, Lake Michigan–Huron is the largest freshwater lake by area in the world. The Huronian glaciation was named from evidence collected from the Lake Huron region. The northern parts of the lake include the North Channel and Georgian Bay. Saginaw Bay is located in the southwest corner of the lake. The main inlet is the St. Marys River from Lake Superior, and the main outlet is through the St. Clair River toward Lake Erie. Lake Huron has a fairly large drainage basin covering parts of Michigan and Ontario. Water flows through Lake Huron faster than the other Great Lakes with a retention time of only 22 years.
