From the vast waters of Lake Michigan to quiet inland lakes and winding rivers, Southwest Michigan offers year-round fishing opportunities for anglers of all experience levels. Target popular species like salmon, trout, walleye, bass and panfish throughout the seasons. Whether you’re casting from a pier, trolling offshore or fishing through the ice, it’s easy to get on the water and catch fish thanks to convenient access sites, knowledgeable tackle shops and experienced local guides.
If you are traveling without your boat, new to fishing the Great Lakes region or want to learn from an expert and have access to the best tackle and gear, hire a guide. Guides drastically increase your chances of having a fun day catching fish. Boat rentals are also available for those who prefer to explore and fish on their own.
