We are 4 days away from game day!

We would like to remind everyone who was picked that you need to purchase your fishing license before Saturday.

A day license is $10 for Michigan residents and non-residents. These licenses can be purchased on the Michigan DNR Hunt Fish App or their website, https://www.mdnr-elicense.com/ . As well as being purchased at any local retailer. If you are unsure of what retailers sell licenses you can look here: https://www.mdnr-elicense.com/Home/InternetRetailerLocations

If you have further questions about fishing licenses you can ask your local license agent stations found at the link above.

In the event someone cancels, we will draw another application from the pile.

Thank you.
