Welcome, Kata2012!

Greetings from a former Michigander!
I want to echo the Huron river, great access in some of the metro parks.
Nice smallie fishing and you will eventually hear about carp and the mulberry "hatch".
Also a bit further afield, the Flint River and the Shiawassee River, also both good for smallies.
If you feel like trout, then Paint Creek, although it is small and not alot of room for backcasts.
None of these are secret places, so best to not fish on weekends if you want to avoid the crowds.
Don't overlook lake fishing for bluegills and bass; basically anywhere there is water you will find willing bluegills.

Left Detroit in 67 but prior to that I did a lot of fly fishing in close to Detroit, mostly 'inland' lake fly fishing. Pine lake near Orchard Lake excelled in LM bass fishing. Several lakes were deep and cold enough to hold trout -- Macedy Lake was one. Pike, perch, and walleye were to be had around the northeast side of Anchor Bay. And there are guides now who specialize in fly fishing for muskies on Lake St Clair and big lake run trout in Lake Huron. Way back then there were even some limited steel head runs in unlikely near-in spots like the Clinton River.

For moment there I was wondering why I ever left. Oh yeah, I remember.
