Fishing Seasons Open Up Across The U.P.

The fishing seasons for walleye, northern pike and muskellunge are now open for all U.P. waters.

Regulations determined by the Natural Resources Commission mean anglers currently can catch and immediately release largemouth and smallmouth bass on all waters statewide.

The possession season for bass opens for most locations statewide this Saturday.

The new license season began April 1, so anglers need to be sure they have purchased a new fishing license for this fishing season.

The 2015 fishing licenses are valid through March 31, 2016.
