Oscoda has a reputation of walleye fishing. It is not uncommon for walleye fishermen to find walleye pushing 30 inches and weighing in up to 12 pounds. Fishermen can target walleye at the mouth of the pier early and late in the year, or by running cranks deep on the lake. If you are planning a trip to the Oscoda area for walleye fishing or any other type of  fishing, make sure you stop by the local bait shops and spend some time talking with the locals and determine what lures are hot and what is being caught.

Van Ettan Lake

When fishermen think of Oscoda Walleye fishing, they consider Lake Huron, AuSable River, and the Oscoda Pier. Several of the locals will target walleyes on Van Ettan Lake. These are often fished in the winter, but the spring and summer provide some of the best fishing in the area. The boat launch is located on F-41 across from the Yankee Air Force Museum.
