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.
