Ice Fishing - Saginaw River

Walleye fishing on the Saginaw River near Bay City, MI. Feb. 2007. Lots of comments about me keeping undersized fish - let me be clear: all fish were measured and NO undersized fish were kept.

Grew up in Bay City, miss the river fishing. Back in the day we used to haul in a ton of channel cat and carp from the trainbridge at the Essexville/Bay City border. Perch were always small but still had tons of fun. RIP John the train bridge operator.

all ive been catching was small ones, the ones on the mouth seemed bigger than the ones on the river, they like silver swedish pimples or blue jigging rapalas

@yoda12145 walleye spawn in late March early April and have eggs in them while we're ice fishing for them in Dec., Jan., Feb., & March til the season closes on March 15 in the rivers. Open all year on the bay.
