Ultimate Fishing Show - Detroit 2027 in Novi, MI

The Ultimate Fishing Show - Detroit 2027 takes over the Vibe Credit Union Showplace in Novi, Michigan, from January 7 to 10. Billed as the largest pure fishing show in America, the event fills hundreds of booths with tackle, specialty baits, fishing boats, engines and gear from dealers and manufacturers across the region. Beyond the show floor, attendees can meet outfitters, lodge owners, charter captains and guides before their calendars fill for the season. A full schedule of seminars and clinics covers Detroit River walleye tactics, bass fishing, fly fishing with the Michigan Fly Fishing Club, and antique tackle collecting. Signature attractions include Lake Ultimate, the Hawg Trough, the Shanty Truckload Sale and a free commemorative Dardevle lure giveaway. Whether you fish walleye, bass, salmon or panfish, the show packs a year's worth of gear, knowledge and trip planning into four days in Metro Detroit. Staying overnight? Novi sits at the junction of I-96 and M-5, roughly 25 miles northwest of downtown Detroit, so booking a hotel near the showplace keeps you minutes from the doors and the parking lot.
