Michigan Lowers Non-Resident Fees for 2015

Details

Published: 16 January 2015

The Michigan DNR announced that a discount of just over 10 percent has been approved for non-resident annual fishing licenses for 2015.

The cost of the non-resident annual fishing license will go from $76 to $68 starting on March 1.

The decision came during yesterday's meeting of the Natural Resources Commission.

Michigan's fishing license options originally were restructured March 1, 2014. Since that time a review of feedback from customers, local businesses and others suggested substantial merit in discounting the annual fishing license fee charged to non-residents. In response to those concerns the DNR has discounted the price.

"Discounting the non-resident annual fishing license will encourage more out-of-state visitors to come and experience Michigan's world-class fisheries - and the many other outstanding recreational opportunities available in this state," said DNR Director Keith Creagh.
