Monroe, Michigan ยท Lake St. Clair

Monroe knows
good water.
So do we.

Chasing Tails Fish Camp and The Eagles Nest Lodge โ€” where the bite is real, the nights are still, and Lake St. Clair belongs to you.

A piece of the shoreline, yours when you need it.

Chasing Tails Fish Camp sits on the shores of Lake St. Clair in Monroe, Michigan โ€” a place where the fishing runs deep and the quiet stretches long. We started as a simple idea: give people a real lakeside spot without the markup, where they can cast a line, sleep under the stars, and actually unwind.

The Eagles Nest Lodge is our on-site lodging โ€” comfortable, clean, and steps from the water. Whether you're here for a weekend bass run or a week-long family escape, we've got the dock, the gear, and the hospitality to make it stick with you.

No gimmicks. No crowded marinas. Just good water, a warm place to rest, and the kind of evening that makes you want to come back next season.

"The best mornings start with coffee on the dock."

Lake St. Clair delivers. We just hand you the rod.

One of the most productive freshwater fisheries in the Midwest โ€” walleye, smallmouth bass, perch, crappie, and more. We provide the access, the boats, and the local know-how. You bring the patience.

Walleye Season

Spring and fall bring the walleye runs. We know the spots, the depths, and the lures that work when the water turns.

Smallmouth Bass

Summer on the rocks. Clear water, hard fighters, and some of the best smallmouth angling in the Great Lakes region.

Family Trips

Perch, crappie, and panfish make great family fishing. We set up the kids, load the boat, and make sure everyone goes home with a story.

Boat rentals, gear provided, and local guidance included with your stay.

Sleep where the water starts.

The Eagles Nest Lodge is more than a place to crash between casts. It's a proper lakeside retreat โ€” clean rooms, a homey common area, and a deck that catches every sunset.

Wake up to the sound of water against the dock. Grab coffee before you head out. Come back in the evening with cold water on the horizon and nowhere else you'd rather be.

Real words from real anglers.

"Best fishing trip my dad and I have taken in years. The guys at Chasing Tails knew exactly where the fish were. Lodge was clean and comfortable โ€” couldn't ask for more."

โ€” A satisfied guest

"We brought the whole family โ€” grandkids included. The kids caught their first perch and wouldn't stop talking about it. That's the kind of place this is."

โ€” A weekend visitor

"The Eagles Nest is exactly what a lake lodge should be. No frills, no fuss โ€” just a great location, friendly folks, and fish that actually bite. Already booked for next July."

โ€” Returning guest

Right off I-75, right on the water.

Just south of Detroit, Monroe sits on the western end of Lake St. Clair โ€” and we're only a short drive from the city, but a world away from it.
