BillM Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Should have no problems finding a guide up there for some lake of river fishing. The 'UP' has some fantastic trout fishing for big big brownies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touristy area but some good fishing. lake charters and stuff. Definetly not a wilderness area but the dunes are likely pretty cool too..the ones up on Superior are neat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Yeah I guess you're right, I've always considered that part of Michigan the UP as well, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you live in the Sault and hang out in the upper for snowmobiling, and have to cross the Mac to get to the lower to go to Petosky and Traverse city...well, you just know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 I have never fished in Michigan, a bit more info on your game plan might help with suggestions? Are you taking a boat? Planning on camping or a resort? Species you have an interest in fishing for? Time of year for your trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm good for almost every species, staying at a hotel (not booked yet) therefore we are open to other locations between there and here. Not taking the boat (going to Chicago first). Going late August...thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister G Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 I would suggest Mackinaw and Mackinaw Island area for a stop over........FANTASTIC area with lots do along with fishing.......Mackinaw Island is must go thing......no cars allowed and you have to boat over there in the many people ferries they have there. The GRAND HOTEL is something to see and take the horse draw carriage for a narrated guided tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
