The Sylvania Wilderness area is an excellent fishery, but a delicate
one. The area even receives it's own special section in the Michigan
Fishing Guide. What makes fishing the Sylvania special
is the combination of the wilderness setting and the act of angling
itself. It's not everyday you get to enjoy angling while experience
complete silence amidst an ancient forest.
To fish the Sylvania Wilderness area, 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.
