Curtis Michigan Fishing on the Manistique Lakes
Curtis Michigan is surrounded by the largest lake complex in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.  These lakes consist of North Manistique Lake - also known as Round Lake, Big Manistique Lake, South Manistique Lake – the largest lake in the complex, Milakokia Lake, Lake Ann Louise, and Millecoquins Lake.  The Manistique Lakes Complex when combined with the smaller lakes within the area, gives anglers a total of over 20,000 acres of fresh water adventures.  If you also consider nearby Lake Superior and Lake Michigan, and the area’s rivers and streams, you have the ultimate fishing opportunity in the nation’s mid-west.

Manistique Lake Fish Species
Muskie, Northern Pike, Walleye, Perch, Bluegill, Large and Small Mouth Bass, Sunfish, Rock Bass, and Bullheads can all be expected throughout our lakes.  Our nearby rivers and streams provide Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Steelhead Trout.  If you have trophy fish in mind for your next vacation, make sure to stop and stay awhile, here in Curtis, MI and the Manistique Lakes Area!

Winter season ice fishing also is a great experience here around the Manistique Lakes.  The ice fishing season changes year to year, so it is wise to check out our area fishing report.  The last Saturday in April brings the opening of Trout season and the Smelt runs.
