The Michigan DNR’s weekly fishing report will be suspended until early next year when ice fishing picks up.

Anglers at Little Bay de Noc reported good perch fishing recently, mainly in the morning, the DNR said. Minnows on perch rigs seemed to be the most productive. Most walleye anglers were trolling; however, some had luck casting. The walleye were reported to have the typical chunky fall build.
