Michigan Ice Fishing

With trout, walleye, salmon, perch, muskie and bass ready to bite, Michigan is home to some of the best freshwater fishing anywhere. The four Great Lakes, 11,000 inland lakes and hundreds of rivers and streams offer endless opportunities to experience the thrill of landing that big fish and bragging rights. And don’t forget about Michigan ice fishing. Drill through the ice, set your line and anticipate the thrill of the “tip up.” Bluegill, smelt, crappie and walleye are popular ice fishing species. Ice fishing in Michigan is a time-honored activity, providing a traditional Michigan winter experience.
