You can fish from shore. Some of them are now allowing canoes to be used as well, though they also will need to be stored on the shore.

Yes, littering is an issue, but no more than it already is. Many organized clubs help with that regularly on public waters right now.

Yes, I'm sure many fisherman would purchase a permit to fish. Look at all those purchased for Saugatuck Res.
