It does say underwater spearfishing so idk if that pertains to ice spearfishing.... Idk how much of a demand for scuba spearfishing there is in the great lakes

As I read it, it sounds like spearfishing via scuba diving, as a special license and reporting is required.

Had a thread on another forum about same subject last year & the rules stated that spearing was legal as long as the shooter is fully submerged when throwing or shooting.
