Michigan Restructures License Fees

It’s official - Hoosiers will pay more to fish in Michigan next year.

A lot more.

The Michigan House of Representatives have accepted Senate amendments to a fishing/hunting license bill that will go into effect next spring. The governor signed it this week.

While the bill reduces fees somewhat for residents, it more than doubles some non-resident fees.

For example, non-residents would pay $75 for an annual fishing license, $150 for a basic hunting license, and $170 to hunt deer.

Under next year’s plan there will not be a “restricted” license. Anglers will be able to fish for all species, including trout and salmon, under one license. The current fee for a non-resident all-species license is $42 while a restricted license is $34 – less than half of what it will be next year.
