Great Fishing Spots in Michigan

Springtime is a great time to dust of your fishing gear and get ready for the upcoming season. Our Great Lake State provides excellent fishing from the big waters of Lake Michigan to farm ponds, local lakes, or the many rivers and streams, anglers love our waterways.

Looking for steelhead or salmon? According to Michigan.org, the Mainstee River is of the best places to find steelhead and salmon.

Known as the “the holy waters”, the Au Sable River is the premier fly-fishing river for trout. And is considered one of the finest trout fisheries in northern Michigan.

Locally, the Grand River which runs through Jackson, Ingham, Eaton, Clinton, Ionia, Kent, and Ottawa counties before emptying into Lake Michigan is home to salmon and steelhead as well as smallmouth bass, panfish, catfish and many other species.

If you are looking to get a fishing license in the Grand Ledge, Lansing area – swing by Sportsman Warehouse on Delta Market Dr. or go visit the Michigan DNR eLicense site mdnr-elicense.com where you can find Hunting & Fishing Guides, and related fishing information.

And don’t forget to insure your boat, trailer and all your fishing gear… no one ever plans to have the things they value damage, stolen, or distorted, but it happens.
