Fishing
Southwestern Michigan offers some of the best freshwater fishing in the world. And since you can fish all year around, there’s always an excuse to grab your pole and head for the water! Whether you want to deep-water fish for 20 lb. Coho or Chinook salmon on Lake Michigan, wade into a clear stream for brown trout or fish inside an ice shanty for blue gill, the challenge will lure you back again and again. Other catches include smallmouth bass, steelhead, walleye, perch, smelt, pike, catfish, crappie, sucker, bass and muskies. Pick up a Michigan fishing license (required) at most local sporting goods and bait shops.
For up-to-date fishing information, call Michigan DNR at 517.373.0908.
