Scratch that just looked up cass county I am sure the pier heads are ready to fish like michigan city or st joe benton harbor etc.. same with the rivers snow melt has them running high though.. and a little stained but should make for great fishing for steel head. Perch, blue gills and crappie should already be waiting in the shallow water bays like marinas that warm fastest.. in the spring sun shine.. any how it's spring in michigan time to fish or hunt morel mushrooms and I chose to fish.. still a tad cold to mushroom hunt yet..
