A big thank you to everyone who came out to Wednesday Night Fun Fish at Bear Lake! While attendance was a little lower last week, everyone still had a great time, and the fishing stayed strong despite less-than-ideal conditions.

This Wednesday, we're bringing back One Bait Wednesday on Portage Lake! A huge thank you to Tangled Tackle of Manistee for supplying the baits for this week's event.

We'll be targeting Bass, Perch, and Walleye, so come out and see how well you can do using just one bait!

We'll see everyone Wednesday—good luck, and tight lines!

Wednesday Night Fun Fish is at Bear Lake this week, 7/15, 6-9pm. Species will be Bass, Walleye, and Bluegill!

Wednesday Night Fun Fish Cancelled

Due to severe weather expected to move into the area around 6:00 PM, tonight's Wednesday Night Fun Fish has been cancelled for the safety of everyone involved.

We will make up this event at the end of the season, as the board has prior obligations on other potential makeup dates.

We appreciate everyone's understanding and hope to see you all at the next event. Stay safe, and we'll see you on the water soon!
