Tom Leonard today encouraged residents to take advantage of Michigan\u2019s Free Fishing Weekend on June 13-14 by going after a keeper at one of the area\u2019s lakes or rivers.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Leonard, R-DeWitt, said Clinton County is home to 27 lakes and Gratiot County has 15 lakes, all holding the promise of game fish. In addition, the Maple and Looking Glass rivers are prospective fishing spots. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources waives all fishing license fees during the weekend, although fishing regulations remain in place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you go fishing, take a friend or family member who might not have tried the sport before,\u201d Rep. Leonard said. \u201cIt might just instill them with a love for the hobby that they will embrace and possibly pass on to future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Research shows that younger people today do not have the same chances to go fishing that were enjoyed by past generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lawmaker says opportunities abound in the area June 13-14<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47621"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47621\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
