The Michigan Department of Natural Resources are presenting an opportunity to “GO-Get Outdoors” at Tippy Dam Recreation Area on Saturday and Sunday, June 13 and 14, for a fishing tackle swap meet, in conjunction with the DNR’s Free Fishing Weekend. Free Fishing Weekend is June 13-14 in Michigan, when a fishing license is not required. All other fishing regulations do apply.

Beginning at 10 a.m., visitors are invited to purchase, sell and swap old or new fishing tackle, or just listen to the fishing stories about the one that got away. This is an opportunity to view old lures, rods, reels, decoys, patches, books, artwork, spears and anything else fishing-related. The swap meet ends at 4 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.

Tippy Dam Recreation Area is located at 1500 Dillings Rd. in Brethren. Persons wishing to reserve an exhibit space should contact DNR Lead Ranger Keith Lounsberry at 231-848-4880. For more information about this event, the park, accessibility, or persons needing accommodations to attend this event, contact the park at 231-848-4880 (TTY/TDD711 Michigan Relay Center for the hearing impaired), or visit the web site at www.michigan.gov/dnr, under “Recreation, Camping & Boating.”

All motor vehicles entering a state park or recreation area must display a Motor Vehicle Permit, available for purchase at the park. Cost is $24 for resident annual and $6 for resident daily. A non-resident annual is $29 and a non-resident daily is $8.

Join the DNR in celebrating the 90th Anniversary of Michigan State Parks (1919-2009) this year. Events are being posted at www.michigan.gov/dnrgogetoutdoors.
