We're Open. Let's Go Fishing.
After more years on these waters than I can count, I'm proud to officially open the doors at Fancy Fish Charters. The boat's prepped, the rods are rigged, and the St. Clair River and Lake St. Clair are coming alive again.
If you've ever stood on a Harsens Island dock at first light and watched the river fog roll off the Flats, you already know why I do this. There's nothing else like it. The St. Clair Delta is one of the most productive fisheries in the Great Lakes — walleye, perch, bass, muskie, sturgeon — and we know every channel, weed flat, and current break around it.
Who I am
I'm Dakota. Born and raised on Michigan water. I've spent my whole life chasing fish around Harsens Island — and I built Fancy Fish Charters around one simple promise: put you on fish, and make sure you have the time of your life doing it.
That's it. That's the whole pitch.
What we're running this season
Half-day river walleye trips on the St. Clair — perfect for putting fish in the cooler
Multi-species trips chasing what's biting that day on the Flats
Lake St. Clair walleye for bigger water and bigger fish
LSC perch trips when the schools stack up
All charters include bait, tackle, and fish cleaning. You bring snacks, drinks, and your sense of humor — we'll handle the rest.
Why book now
Spring bookings are already moving. The early-season walleye bite on the river is going to be strong this year, and weekend slots fill up first. If you've been sitting on the idea of a trip, now's the time to lock in a date.
Or call 810-278-3389 and we'll figure out the right trip for you.
See you on the water.
