Hey, hey, this is your great legs dude, Jeff Liskay, coming to you on the Wet Fly Swing

Podcast, where we're going to be going rage angler on all things Great Lakes, from gear, fly,

big water, and swinging flies, of course. If it concerns the Great Lakes, we've got you

covered, so stay tuned to this next episode.

In this episode, we're going to chit-chat and take a journey into the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Yes, it's still Michigan once you cross that big long Mackinacob Bridge and head north from the lower peninsula.

But it almost seems like another state once you

cross it. Things start to get a little more wilderness, a lot less towns and cities and villages,

and just a lot of water and opportunities to explore. I used to take the kiddo and the wife up there on

family vacations, and of course,

it's a great family place, not only for angling opportunities, but you could also incorporate a family

vacation with so much to do looking at pitcher rock National Park along to South Shores of Lake Superior,

but we just always had a good time up there camping and fishing

and hiking around. And sometimes you wouldn't see anybody for the entire week that we were there,

especially if you didn't want to be seen. But bring your bug spray in the summertime.

They can get a little buggy up there, of course. But, you know, the tradeoff is that it's just a

great wilderness areas to explore.

So we're back to what we're going to really be talking about is the angling opportunities

that can offer. It's amazing. The diversity of the fishery, it's a very, very short season.

Of course, winters can get a little harsh up north compared to down south

on the south shores of, you know, Lake Erie where I'm living, but it's worth the effort to get up

there sometime May all the way through November. So pack up the kiddos or grab your fishing partner
