Mitchell State Park – March 18-19, Steelhead Clinic

The Outdoor Skills Academy pro-staff will present various strategies and techniques for chasing Michigan’s “chrome torpedoes.” Feel free to bring your own gear, if possible, or if you’re new to steelheading, some equipment is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The classroom portion of the clinic will be at the Hunting and Fishing Center, then Sunday morning we will hit the water and show you how to fish and what to look for on the beautiful Manistee River. The Sunday session will be broken in half into an 8-10 a.m. session and a 10 a.m.-noon session. Session times will be assigned Saturday.

Cost for this class is $30, which includes lunch on Saturday.

In addition, onX maps now offers a discount for each Outdoor Skills Academy student, and if you decide to keep the app after your free trial, onX will donate a portion of the proceeds to conservation education. A promotional code will be sent via email prior to the class.

To register for this class, go to Michigan.gov/DNRLicenses and click on the “Purchase a license” button. Sign in (using either a username and password or your ID and birthdate), and find the class under the Outdoor Skills Academy tab.
