Go Fish, Clinton Township: Fishing License Fees Waived Feb. 16-17

Attention, anglers, it's a free fishing weekend in Michigan.

Twice a year, the Department of Natural Resources waives fishing license fees to give resident and out-of-state fishermen a chance to enjoy their sport on any of the state's inland and Great Lakes' waters.

All fishing regulations will still apply, but anglers are free to pursue all species of fish.

This year's free fishing weekends are Feb. 16-17 and June 8-9.

Clinton Township residents can head east to Lake St. Clair Metropark, an area known as a good pan fish and yellow perch fishing site. Anglers may fish on the canals, north boat basin or the open waters of the lake.

The metropark has a $5 daily vehicle entry fee and is open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the winter.
