Seasonal Activity Chart
Walleye
If you're looking for walleye in northern Michigan, Charlevoix offers a unique fishery influenced by Lake Michigan and the connecting inland lakes. The key here is understanding the seasonal movements of forage fish. Spring finds walleye staging near the channel connecting Lake Michigan to Round Lake and Lake Charlevoix as they recover from spawning. Trolling crankbaits or casting jigs tipped with minnows along the channel edges can be very effective. As summer progresses, walleye disperse into the deeper, cooler waters of Lake Charlevoix. Focus on areas with structure like submerged humps and drop-offs. Fall sees walleye returning to shallower areas as water temperatures cool. A local tip: Pay close attention to water clarity; walleye often prefer slightly stained water. The public boat launch on Round Lake provides excellent access to both the channel and Lake Charlevoix. Be prepared for varying weather conditions, as Lake Michigan's influence can lead to sudden changes.
