Michigan's rivers are small, short and shallow, and few are navigable. The principal ones include the Au Sable, Thunder Bay, Cheboygan, and Saginaw, flowing into Lake Huron; Ontonagon, and Tahquamenon into Lake Superior, and the St. Joseph, Kalamazoo, Grand, and Escanaba into Lake Michigan. The state has more than 11,000 inland lakes and more than 36,000 miles (58,000 km) of rivers and streams and no point in Michigan is more than 6 miles (10 km) from an inland lake or more than 85 miles (137 km) from one of the Great Lakes.

Michigan fly fisherman are fortunate to be surrounded by more than 36,500 miles of rivers and streams, 12,500 miles of which are classified as cold water trout streams. Great Lakes salmon and steelhead fishing ranks among Michigan’s premier fly fishing opportunities.
