The Saginaw Bay Walleye Club, Inc. (SBWC) was established in 1982 to assist the Michigan Department of Natural Resources with walleye rearing in Bay County. The manpower necessary for pond operation and fingerling harvest is organized from the SBWC membership.

Along with the walleye planting project, the promotion of good conservation practices and the education of our community was seen as a priority to develop the re-born Saginaw Bay walleye fishery.

Today the SBWC is a leader in conservation efforts in Michigan. They are nationally recognized as a host to several professional walleye fishing tournaments and continue to provide excellent educational activities to their members and the community.

• Monthly Meetings "To meet others like yourself who love to fish."
• Newsletters "To help keep you informed as to what's going on inside the club."
• Seminars "Given whenever they get a professional fisherman is in the area."
• Rearing Ponds "Involvement in cooperation with the MDNR and Consumers Energy Company, to help assure the fishery's future."
• Major Tournaments "Such as the "MWT" and other professional walleye tournaments."
• MUCC Affiliation " As such, SBWC members are eligible to become members of MUCC at a reduced annual fee."
