Fishing

Escanaba and other Delta County communities deliver some of the best action on Lake Michigan’s Bays de Noc and the rivers that feed them. Head out on the big water for walleye, trout, bass and more, or fish the rivers prized for their steelhead and brown trout. Inland lakes add variety with largemouth bass, pike and panfish. Public launches, shoreline access and local guides make it easy to get on the water your way. Whether you’re trolling deep water or casting along a quiet river bend, you’ll find rewarding opportunities in every season.
