With fast flowing rivers, 20 miles of Lake Superior shoreline and several inland lakes, Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park offers a high quality fishing experience. Not only can the fishing be good, but the abundance of waterfalls and picturesque forest make it an inviting setting for the angler.



To fish Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, one needs to obtain a Michigan fishing license. The exception to this would be the free fishing weekend from June 13th to June 14th. Those over 17 years of age will need to purchase a Michigan fishing license. The one day Michigan license for all fish and all users is $7. The nonresident yearly license for all fish species is $42. The resident yearly license for all fish species is $28. Since most of the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park fishing is related to trout and salmon, you will want the full licenses and not the fish restricted licenses.
