For two days twice a year, families and friends can enjoy one of Michigan’s premier outdoor activities – fishing – for free!
This year’s winter Free Fishing Weekend dates are Feb. 13 and 14.
All fishing license fees will be waived those two days. A Recreation Passport will not be required for entry into state parks and boating access sites during Free Fishing Weekend. Residents and out-of-state visitors may enjoy fishing on both inland and Great Lakes waters for all species of fish. All fishing regulations will still apply.
For printable certificates to celebrate a child’s first fish or a big fish, or for more information about Free Fishing Weekends, visit Michigan.gov/FreeFishing.
