The biggest lakes in terms of geographical area covered and size too are the Great Lakes. This lakes are home to a variety of fish and other aqua life. They are housed by Michigan State and the Ontario part of Southern Canada. This lake in its totality has a huge impact on the Canadians and the Michigan State citizens especially those involved in the fishery industry and obviously the customers. This is the reason that one has to assess the Michigan fishing report.

The best analysis can be done by analyzing the various areas that this activity is done. On the other side Michigan benefits from the harsh winter temperatures that results to winter-kill. This is where fish die due to harsh winter weather. This kill can be seen in shallow ponds, streams and on top of lakes. The thick ice characterized during winter is the main cause of this death.

However, no matter the huge numbers can be as a result of winter kill, this cannot be the sole effect to the population sizes and the quality of fish. Winter kill is more common in Southern part than any other part. This is because winter hits real hard south than it does northerly and the rest of the Peninsula. This as a result gives the reason to why the numbers down south in terms of fish population are low. However, in summer the south houses the highest number.

The upper Peninsula has mixed effects when it comes to the effects that accompany the changes in seasons and their effect on the whole process. This can in turn be effectively analyzed geographically in order to note the effect it has squarely. Hence the accessibility during winter while carrying out this activity with respect to the North.

Platte Bay, Portage Lake, Frankfort, Onekama, and Lake Cadillac are some of the areas that suffer from these changes. Conversely, Lake Cadillac, as witnessed by many anglers, can allow catching in winter. Conversely, when temperatures rise the channel cannot be accessible as the ice will be melting pretty fast. This has led anglers to use spoons, spawn, and baits, minute and wax worms. All in the aim of getting a good catch.

The Upper Peninsula report, the fishing is affected with the fast melting of snow. Especially Little Bay, Cedarville and Hassel, Munising and Keweenaw Bay. The warm temperatures can be attributed to variations and the good catch that has characterized their catch. Anglers have had to deep their spoons thirty or so feet in the Anna River and Sand Point.

The most common catch include: whitefish, rainbow, perch, crappies, gills, pan fish, bluegills, and turbot. These, find their way into many eating joints located in close proximity to the lake. The most desired being the perch because of its size and the ease it comes with catching one which is done through a hunt. However, the one which is caught in huge numbers and is the crappies and the pan fish. They are the ones that suffer from the ice kill more than any other type of fishes.

The Michigan state has good laws and limitations in reference to licensing of fishing. They vary in terms of the scale of production. They lowest being from $20. This has caused a rise in this activity.
