Fishing
Gone Fishin’. Two little words speak volumes about our passion for fresh air, biting fish and enjoying a few good laughs with our friends. Here four Great Lakes, 11,000 inland lakes and hundreds of rivers and streams inspire us to hang out our gone fishin’ signs. Because the salmon, brown trout, lake trout, perch, bass, steelhead and walleye will always lure us to Pure Michigan.
Fishing near Isle Royale National Park
One thing about boating and fishing in Michigan, the surroundings are always beautiful and inspiring. Here is the amazing sunset near Isle Royal National Park in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula off the shores of Lake Superior.

Fishing in the Grand River, Grand Rapids
With so many lakes and rivers flowing throughout Michigan, it is no wonder that fishing is a popular past-time. Here a fly-fisherman has waded into the Grand River, right in downtown Grand Rapids, to snag the illusive trout.

Fishing the St. Mary’s River, Sault Ste. Marie
We take fishing very seriously. The St. Mary’s River is home to four species of salmon and spectacular steelhead. Northern pike, walleye, and small-mouthed bass provide great opportunities for sport fishing in the many surrounding lakes and bays.

Fishing in Holland
Spend a day at the breakwaters of the Holland State Park angling for perch. Troll Lake Michigan for five species of sport fish aboard a charter boat with an experienced captain. Fish our inland waters for pan fish, walleye or bass. Whatever your pleasure, enjoy some of the best sport fishing in the Midwest.
