Those looking for something to do this weekend can grab their fishing rods and head for the great outdoors.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is kicking off the summer with Free Fishing Weekend across the state of Michigan.
All fees for fishing licenses are waived Saturday and Sunday for Michigan residents and visitors. In addition, fees to enter all state parks, recreation areas and state boat launches.
The cost of fishing licenses are: 24-hour (resident or nonresident) - $10; 72-hour (resident or nonresident) - $30; Resident annual - $26; Nonresident annual - $76 and Senior annual (for residents age 65 or older) - $11.
Free Fishing Weekend offers a great deal, especially for larger families. The Michigan DNR does this twice a year to encourage people to visit beautiful parks and bodies of water. In addition, various events are being held in conjunction with Free Fishing Weekend in counties across the state.
