The Tawas area has fishing galore, regardless of the season or how much gear you have. Fishing in Tawas Bay includes walleye, northern pike, yellow perch, brown trout, and smallmouth bass. During the spring and fall, whitefish, steelhead, brown trout, lake trout and walleye move along the shoreline of the bay. Fish from riverbanks, the shore, the dock, your own boat, a charter, or the ice in winter. Don't forget to try your luck on the AuSable River, Tawas Lake, Van Etten and Cedar Lakes in Oscoda, along with a host of smaller inland lakes.
