On that weekend, everyone – residents and nonresidents alike – can fish Michigan waters without a license, though all other fishing regulations still apply. Michigan has offered the free fishing weekend annually since 1986 as an easy, affordable way to showcase the state’s vast water resources. With more than 3,000 miles of Great Lakes shoreline, 11,000 inland lakes and tens of thousands of miles of rivers and streams, fishing and Michigan are a natural fit. To encourage involvement in the free fishing weekend, organized activities are being scheduled in communities across the state. These activities are coordinated by individuals, organizations, constituent groups, schools, local and state parks, businesses and others.
