ONTONAGON, MI-- The Michigan Natural Resources Commission has given a Partners in Conservation Award to a Delta County fishing group.
DNR Director Keith Creagh says Bay de Noc Great Lakes Sport Fishermen, Inc. is dedicated to improving the fishery in Lake Michigan and Upper Peninsula waters. He says the group is also committed to providing opportunities to introduce youth to the sport of fishing.
Club members host several fishing derbies each year, hold a Special Olympics fishing event at the DNR’s Upper Peninsula Pocket Park every summer, and fund two scholarships for local students.
The award was given during the NRC’s annual U.P meeting last Thursday.
