Michigan’s catch-and-release bass season opens Saturday along with walleye, pike, muskie and inland trout seasons.

Indiana’s bass season never closes.

Michigan’s regular season opens the May 24.

During the catch-and-release period, anglers may fish for bass, but it’s illegal to string ‘em up or put them in a livewell.

There could be a change coming next year. A bill in the Michigan Legislature would open the bass season year-round. The bill has passed the Senate and now sits in the House Natural Resources Committee.
