The state of Michigan can be described as having been blessed with the best of nature's beauty and so attracts tourists and fishermen from all over the world. Over 50 percent of Michigan is afforested and boasts of over 10,000 lakes that are best suited for fishing all species of game - at least fresh water species. Even when it comes to ice fishing Michigan has the best locations to offer anglers from the world over because most of the rivers and lakes freeze over in the winter months.
Among the many species of fish that are found the most popular is perhaps the Pike. The Northern Pike is found abundantly in the lakes of Michigan, however, when it comes to catching one you are up against the most cunning and elusive species of fish in the world. This is what makes fishing fir Pike one of the favorite pastimes of every angler worth his tackle no matter where the reins from in the world.
Though these fish will not be found in every lake in Michigan there are found in most of the lakes and a little research will prove fruitful in locating this elusive Piscean. Anglers demand for this fish is such that the authorities have started breeding and stocking the lakes with Pike just to keep the fishing tourist traffic coming as this is huge revenue for the state. This is also why there are regulations about the size of a fish you can remove from the lake. So, caution is advised, if you are caught with an extra small Pike you are likely to be fined and repeated misdemeanors will get you rapped on across your knuckles and called a naughty boy - you may even be made to stand in the corner of a jail cell if you are extra bad.
The best place to fish for Pike is in the lakes of Munuscong Bay, in Chippewa County - perhaps the best place to get some of the best bites. Many good trophies have been caught and mounted here. Then there is Drummond Island where you can get some very good specimens of Yellow Perch, Whitefish and Walleye.
The other locations that you can go fishing and are guaranteed to find a spot that is not crowded include:
- Mackinac County
- The Big Manistique Lake
- South Manistique Lake
- The Au Train Lake
- Munising Bay Little Bay de Noc
- Horseshoe Lake
- Big Shag Lake
It is best to try out the smaller lakes as these are little known lakes and are also good for ice fishing as these small water bodies freeze up faster in the winter than the larger lakes. They also have a greater variety of fish that are eager to bite and make an anglers day. So, come to Michigan and ask around, if you don't already know your way around. You are sure to find the perfect spot to make your fishing excision a memorable one.
