I was searching the internet for regulations for underwater spearfishing in Michigan as I was considering a vacation in the UP this summer.

Here's all I could find so far:


[FONT=TimesNewRoman,Bold]FO-217.07[/FONT]
[FONT=TimesNewRoman,Bold]ORDER TO RESTRICT SPEARING SEASON[/FONT]
Under the authority of sections 41101 through 41105 of Act 451 of the Public Acts of 1994, as amended,
being sections 324.41101 through 324.41105 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, the Director of the
Department of Natural Resources on October 5, 2006, ordered that for a period of five years in the Lower
Peninsula it shall be unlawful to take or attempt to take any species of fish with a spear or bow and arrow,
from any waters north of Highway M-72 during the month of April, or south of Highway M-72 and north
of Highway M-46 from April 1 through April 14, all dates inclusive.
This order is assigned number FO-217.07 and is titled “Order to Restrict Spearing Season”.
This order rescinds the order entitled “Order to Restrict Spearing Season” effective September 29, 2002,
and assigned number FO-217.02A.
This order shall take effect April 1, 2007, and shall remain effective through March 31, 2012. ​
