From experienced to beginner, Detroit is a great place to fish
Detroit is known for many things. Shaping the modern auto industry. The birth of Motown music. Diehard fans rooting on their Lions, Pistons, Red Wings and Tigers.
Ranked the No. 5 fishing city in the country. Detroit is home to some of the most diverse and plentiful fisheries in the country, including walleye, bass, perch, crappie, northern pike, channel catfish and muskie.
Last year, licenses purchased by anglers and hunters generated over $66 million for the Michigan Game and Fish Protection Fund. The fund is the DNR’s largest revenue source and is critical to its conservation work. Fishing and hunting equipment sales raised an additional $32 million to support wildlife and natural resource management.
