Complete Event Description:

Come join your Outdoor Education Team and the Master Anglers of the Detroit River for an afternoon of specialty fishing on the Detroit River in search of Walleye! Once you catch your limit (or you have reached your 2.5 hour time limit), you'll head back to the dock for a fish fry!

During this event, participants will head out on the Detroit River under the expert eye and guidance of local Detroit River Walleye Charter Captains for an unforgettable experience! Participants will learn the different methods, preferred gear set-ups, and top secret "walleye hot spots" along the Detroit River - all while taking in the sights of downtown Detroit from a river viewpoint!

The Charter Captains will provide all necessary safety gear, fishing gear, and instruction to make your participation in this event a success! Once you return to the dock, there will be a crew on land that will show you how to properly fillet your walleye and pan-fry the fillets for a tasty treat (if interested)! Depending on catch size and quantity, participants will also be welcome to take their catch home with them - already cleaned and ready for your freezer!
