This photo album archives historic photos and images of commercial fisheries operating in Saginaw Bay region of Lake Huron. Photos specifically reflect fishing activities with trap net boats and gear. These photos are provided by Michigan Sea Grant and available for review and use via the Great Lakes Fisheries Heritage Trail Flickr photo library.
With financial support from America250MI, we are excited to enhance the GLFHT website! We’re delivering a more accessible, user-friendly experience and expanded stories that celebrate fisheries heritage in Michigan and throughout the Great Lakes region.
Some highlights include new trail stories featuring local voices, curated educational resources for youth and educators, additional places to explore in our directory, and more ways to connect with coastal communities through history, culture, and stewardship.
The first phase of the upgraded site launched in June, with more content coming in August 2026. Thank you for visiting!
