Shiawassee River

I spend a lot of my free time fishing, and I fish within Michigan only. I Fish a lot and I have not come even close to fishing all of the lakes, ponds and rivers that Michigan has to offer. I can give you an example of some better fishing spots I have found personally. This 2010 summer I spent a lot of time fishing the Shiawassee River. Located in Shiawassee Co. This summer has been great for Northern Pike and Smallmouth Bass in the Shiawassee river. This is due to the removal of the dam that was located in Chesaning MI, of Saginaw Co. Now more species of fish have 18 additional miles of waterway. The Shiawassee River is one of MANY river systems within Michigan. If you are not a fisherman you can also Kayak, or just float in a tube. Even in some rivers that are larger you can get a boat in to just go boating.

What This Blog is About

My first post for this blog I figured I would explain what the purpose of this blog is. I have created this blog to accomplish two main things. One is to give some ideas to others of what typee of recreational activities that Michigan and the Great Lakes has to offer. Secondly, I am going post things I do for fun as a life long resident of Michigan. I plan to have links to current information links and news as well as up to date on what I do each week. Now you know what this blog is about.
