Free Fishing Weekend in Michigan

The U.P. can boast of over 1,700 miles of shoreline, 4,300 inland lakes and 12,000 miles of rivers and streams within its borders. This is the weekend to take advantage of all that water- and all those fish under the waves.
It is Michigan's annual Summer Free Fishing Weekend on June 8 and 9. During Free Fishing Weekend all license fees are waived for both Michigan residents and out-of-staters alike.
This weekend also features many free fishing events, especially for kids. For instance, the Richmond Township Community Club is holding its 25th Annual Fishing Derby in Negaunee on Saturday. This includes the derby itself, breakfast and lunch is provided and everyone who participates gets a $15 gift. Trophies will also be awarded for first, second and third place in different age categories. This is for kids ages 16 and under.
