Joel-

I'm far from an expert on that part of the country, but have gone up there a number of times over the years. While there are a multitude of good choices near Boyne, it doesn't get much better than the Au Sable near Grayling. Gates Lodge is great place to check with for information, and a must-visit if you decide to fish there. Meantime, pay a visit to Flymasters in Indianapolis and have Derek and the guys give you some good places to fish near Indy. They won't resemble Montana, but there are some pretty hood options to get that line wet more frequently than you have been!
