IRON MOUNTAIN — This is Free Fishing Weekend in Michigan as license fees are waived today and Sunday.

Fishing regulations still apply but a Recreation Passport won’t be required for entry into state parks and boating access sites.

In Florence County, Wis., Leff’s annual All Lake Fishing Derby wraps up at 4:30 p.m. today. The derby is open to any Florence County water. Booyah will be served at Leff’s, 5050 Keyes Lake Drive, starting at 3 p.m., and there will be entertainment until 7 p.m.

Kites Over Awesome Lake Antoine is set for 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 25. More than 3,000 people visited Lake Antoine Park in Iron Mountain during last year’s event to see professionals from across the Midwest fly their giant kites.

To ease traffic, Lake Antoine Park Partners will offer a free shuttle from Bay College. For more information, go to https://www.facebook.com/LakeAntoinePark/.

Crappie action has been good for ice anglers, with many of them catching their limits, said Fay Whisler at Whisler Outdoors in Florence, Wis. Both live and artificial baits are working.

The northern pike bite has also been good for anglers using sucker minnows under tip-ups. Perch have been hitting on wigglers and walleye action has picked up.

“Anglers are reporting walleye catches of up to 28 inches,” Whisler said. “Most catches have been in the evening.”

Rains earlier this week have reduced most snowmobile trails to ice or bare spots. Grooming is on hold until there is a significant snowfall, the Tri-County Snowmobile Club said.
