Hello,
I'm about to go visit northern Michigan, Traverse City-area, and I want to do some diving while I'm there, and possibly some spearfishing. Just wondering if anybody can tell me the laws and rules for doing it up there- if I can, first of all, as well as any necessary permits or licenses?
Thanks for any help!
-Jason
You can only spear Bowfin "Dogfish", Carp, Gar, and Suckers. But however the DNR will let you take a pole down with you, and fish for any kind other species.
You would need a non-resident 24 hour license ($7) or a non-resident restricted license for the year ($34). Restricted means anything but trout and salmon, both of which are unlawfull to spear so you would be fine. You will also need a "sportcard" which is one dollar and good forever.
Stay clear of the Muskegon river, it is a designated trout stream so you cannot possess any spearing equipment on it, ever.
