It's Free Fishing Weekend in Michigan! Dive into fishing basics in the Huron River. The program will be held outdoors, and participants will learn how to properly bait a hook, cast a line, and reel in a big catch. Bring your camera to snap a photo if you reel in a prize catch! We'll show you our favorite fish-holding poses for that perfect photo opportunity. We'll also discuss some of the fish species that can be found along the Huron River.

A fishing license is not required during this weekend. All equipment and bait are provided for the duration of the program. This program will be held outdoors near the Rivergrove Parking Lot where restrooms are available for post-fishing handwashing.
