Ice Fishing

The Charlotte River is a shallow, flowing waterway — river current means ice conditions can be unpredictable and unsafe even in cold weather. The St. Marys River, which it feeds, also has areas of current and shipping traffic that affect ice quality. Exercise extreme caution.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fish are in the Charlotte River?

Locals fish from the banks near where the Charlotte meets the St. Marys River. The St. Marys system supports walleye, northern pike, perch, and whitefish. The Charlotte itself is small, so most serious fishing happens after you launch into the St. Marys.
