Michigan Free Fishing Weekend June 12- 13, 2010
As summer in Michigan approaches, Michiganders start to
gravitate toward the 11,037 inland lakes, 36,350 miles of rivers
or streams, or the 3288 miles of Great Lakes shoreline available
for recreation in Michigan [ Included are 12,000 miles
of trout waters]. In fact, there is so much water
available, that wherever you are in Michigan, you are never
more than 6 miles away from a body of water.
If you have fond memories of fishing with your Dad or grand-
parents, then why not create your own memories this weekend?
The Michigan Dept of Natural Resources has declared that you can
fish in any Michigan inland or Great Lakes waters for all species of
fish – without a license – this weekend.
Please note that all fishing regulations still apply.
And don’t forget about safety. You are still required to follow
all watercraft laws. So, get out the poles, grab some bait,
and get fishing!
