Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, man that's a lot to pass

True, but where else in the States can you consistantly catch *native*
trophy brook trout in the 5+ pound range, ...

I could tell you, but then ... well, you know. ;-)

Hint: they go into Lake Superior, grow *real* big then return home.
A 7wt isn't too much rod.

... The Rapid closes on the last day
of September, but the Kennebec is open until the end of October.
Great fishing with streamers and nymps. Not much surface action that
late in the season. And, it is *cold*.

I'm going to get up to Boulder Junction as soon as Kaylin gets
the OK from the vet. She was spayed last Friday and has nine
stitches in her belly due to come out Tuesday. The Wisconsin/
Michigan trout season ends Sept. 30 so I hope to get some last
minute trout fishing in before I concentrate on muskies and smallies.
Next year we'll add grouse hunting to the schedule, she'll be
almost 18 months by then and ready to start hunting. I love late
September/October, it's a great time to be in the Midwest.
