Fish for Free This Weekend

Anglers can fish for free this weekend without a license.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is waiving all fishing license fees Saturday and Sunday for Summer Free Fishing Weekend.

Michigan residents and non-residents can fish this weekend without a license, according to a release, but all other fishing regulations still apply.

Anglers heading out this weekend can find the following fish biting according to the DNR weekly fishing report:

Detroit River:  The white bass action has been fast and furious. Fishing is limited with all the white bass but a few perch were caught near Celeron Island and a few walleye were taken near the Ford Yacht Club.   

Lake St. Clair:  Musky fishing was slow.
