Doublehauler, most UP streams are small brookie creeks that close Sept. 30. I'm guiding in Florida for the winter, so I don't have my Michigan regs book to see which salmon/steelhead streams out of Lake Superior or Lake Michigan have extended seasons.

You might want to check the Michigan DNR website for closures. I've fished the Driggs near Seney with good results. The Two Hearted River, of course, is famous because of Hemingway but it's nearly all in private ownership, which makes access very difficult.

Check with the Gander Mountain outdoors store in Marquette. There MIGHT be someone in the fishing department who can give you a heads-up.

That's also a superb time to be afield with a fine English setter and a 20ga looking for grouse and woodcock.

E-me as you get closer to that time and I'll try to provide as much help as I can.

Tight Loops,
