Hey gang I was thinking of planning this neat trip....I know these
streams quite well! Here is some basic information on these streams: 1. Paint River - fantastic fishing from Cooks run confluence up to Paint Forks campground. If you head downstream from there you wil be running into warmer water. The higher fish per mile numbers are in Cooks Run and the upper regions. 2. Middle Branch Ontanogan - the section from Bond Falls downstream to highway 28 is excellen and considered on of Michigans best trout streams. 3. the Carp River - The little Carp and Big Carp have excellent brooki action and nice fall and spring steelhead runs as well! They are only a few miles hike from the Presque Isle River campground on the west side of the park. All streams are in the western Upper Peninsula. Here is a basic map: http://cheas.psu.edu/fieldsites/sylv...map_ottawa.jpg |

If I was you, I'd save a lot of money and fish in my own back yard.......say, maybe somewhere on the WEST BOULDER RIVER. Wolfgang fish....in the u.p....hee, hee, hee. |

no, the **Paint River** upstream from Paint Forks Campground** , just
north of **U.S. 2** and **west of Crystal Falls** is the place to be. The last fish count had many hundreds of trout per stream mile. Also be sure to fish the fantastic runs on the *middle brnach ontanogan(sp)** downstream from **Bond Falls** and **south of M28.** |

The last fish count had many hundreds of trout per stream mile. Nope. No fish there. The flies ate 'em all. Ask Jeff. Also be sure to fish the fantastic runs on the *middle brnach ontanogan(sp)** downstream from **Bond Falls** and **south of M28.** Pretty falls. Not nearly as good as Agate, though. Anyway, it's a good thing you didn't mention the Sturgeon, the east branch of the Ontonagon, the west branch of the Ontanogon, the Cisco branch of the Ontonagon, the main branch of the Ontonagon, The Two Hearted, the Fox, the Whitefish, the Yellow Dog, the Huron, the Firesteel, the Brule, the Presque Isle, the Black, the St. Louis, the Bois Brule, the Escanaba, the Manistique, the Montreal, the Fence, the Net, the Perch, the Jumbo, the Baltimore, the Onion, the other Sturgeon, the OTHER other Sturgeon, the Potato, the Flat Rock, Trout Creek, Beaver Creek, the Peshekee, the Salmon Trout, Clear Creek, the Slate, Barnhardt Creek, the Elm, the East Sleeping, the Otter, Silver Creek, the other Salmon Trout, the Tobacco, the Chocolay, Twomile Creek, the Ford, Werners Creek, the Rapid, the Tacoosh, the Days, the Iron, Iron Creek, the Indian, Stutts Creek, the Driggs, Duck Creek, the other Duck Creek, the Deerskin, the Tahquamenon or......um......oh yeah, the OTHER other other Surgeon, because those really ARE secret, and if you did, we'd probably have to kill you. Wolfgang who supposes congratulations are in order. after all, it ain't everybody who can make the dumbass hall of fame in a single day. |

Or if you wanna go dry, a green hornberg, size 24, fished with a twitch. And, btw, this info has been out for a looooong time. |
