Bass Best
Inst. Clair
BY DON GILLIES

Perch fishing at Lexington,
which has been good for the past
few weeks, has dropped off
sharply, the conservation depart
ment advised today. Officers,
however in that area expect con-
ditions to improve by the week
end
Perch fishing continues good in
Wildfowl Bay, Caseville and Oak
Point in Saginaw Bay, although
pike and bass are hitting only fair
in the vicinity of Fish Point and
Lone Tree Island. Bass fishing is
fair at Grindstone City and Huron
City.
Anglers report fair luck in the
St Clair River for pike, perch,
bass, rock bass and walleyeS.
Lake ST Clair seems 10 be the
best black bass and rock bass
fishing grounds near Detroit al
present, with good catches re-
ported this week on both species.
Fishing has been Just fair in
the lower Detroit River and Lake
Erie. A few pike, bass, perch and
bluegills are being taken on worms
and minnows. Anglers are be-
ginning to take catfish and saug-
ers in Lake Erie.
Fishing for bass and panfiSh
has been good in the southern
half of Oakland County this
week, with worms and cricketS
producing the best results. A few
rainbow trout were taken in
Pleasant Lake, a good bass and
perch lake. In the northern half
Of the county, fishing has been
fair for bluegills and sunfish with
worms.
Fishing in GeneSSee County is
still fair. Some large bass are be
ing taken at night.
Fishing has improved in coun-
ties west of Detroit, Marvin L.
Norton Of Jackson, conservation
department supervisor, advises.
Bass are hitting both on artificial
bait and minnows. Bluegills are
taking worms and crickets Best
waters TO fish are lakes in Eaton,
Lenawee, Liingston and Clinton
counties.
Pier fishing in Lake Michigan
continues fair 10 good, with
cricketS reported best bait. Bass
arc hitting in Pipestone Lake in
Berrien County.
