The Great Lakes contain nearly 150 different species of fish, and 40 thousand square miles of great waterways. Get up, and get out there. .

Many people find charter fishing for one of our Great Lakes salmon, lake trout, or walleye the perfect way to while-away a day.

Two web pages located at the Department of Natural Resources site you may find useful:  Boating and Fisheries.

We have also compliled some facts and figures about Lake Michigan and our Inland Lakes that we feel that you may find interesting.

Remember when visiting us, out of courtesy for the enjoyment of all those who follow you, please leave no trace of your visit behind. And that goes double for cigarette butts which are polluting the bottom of the bay.
