Among bucket-list spring walleye fishing destinations, the Detroit River is legendary. With both trophy potential and numbers, the river draws scores of anglers each year, many partaking in the run as an annual rite. One of those anglers is Judson Rodriguez, who escorted Whitewater Fishing staff on the metro moving waters, all in search of big, photo-worthy fish. Below, Judson offers his advice for anglers thinking about fishing the Detroit—including the when, where, and how of it.
Tips and tricks learned on the Detroit River can play into your walleye fishing hand.
Generally, anglers do not like fishing in the rain. Can you blame them? It’s uncomfortable, sometimes cold, and not the best of conditions. Or is it? A bass doesn’t care. They’re not getting any wetter! And a good soaking rain can trigger largemouth bass, and smallmouths to a lesser extent, to a heightened level of activity that results in great fishing. So, you’d better suck it up buttercup, break out the Whitewater rain gear and assume a mindset to take advantage of it.

According to Whitewater pro-staffer and recent 2023 Bassmaster Classic 7th place finisher, Jay Przekurat, tournament practice days were "absolutely brutal" with sub-zero temps, wind gusts over 30 mph, and potentially bone-piercing rain. Despite foul weather, Jay launched his Nitro every morning and battled Mother Nature in search of a river pattern that would guarantee a top-10 finish during the critical hours of bass fishing's Super Bowl.
