Fishing Michigan

Michigan, the Great Lakes state, is a great state for anglers. It has more than 11,000 inland lakes, 36,000 miles of streams and more shoreline than any other state other than Alaska. More than one million Michiganders buy licenses every year to fish for a wide variety of species.

In Fishing Michigan, Detroit Free Press outdoors writer Eric Sharp describes the state's major game fish and where and how to catch them. He also writes about some of his adventures -- and misadventures -- in pursuit of a quarry we never can quite figure out.
