June 11th and 12th are part of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources’ “Three Free” Weekend that offers free fishing, off-roading, and state park entry for both Michigan residents and those visiting from out of state.
DNR Director Dan Eichinger said, “Whether you’re already an avid outdoors-person or someone just beginning to explore all the options, our ‘Three Free’ Weekend makes it easy to discover a new hobby, visit a new park or introduce friends to an outdoor experience you love.”
A pair of local events are geared toward kids who might want to give fishing a try.
The City of St. Clair is holding its River Activity Day with the Cargill Kid’s Fishing Derby from 7:30 a.m to 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 11th at Pine Shores Golf Course.
Port Huron Township is hosting the 30th Annual Free Fishing Clinic for Kids at the William P. Thompson Pond on 40th Street from 11:00 to 2:00 with free fishing poles and bait available, free food, and fun informational booths.
