happens....just haven't decided when...
There is excellent smallmouth fishing in the Sylvania Wilderness
of Michigan's UP near Watersmeet. I'm going to camp there for a
couple of weeks starting the Tuesday after Memorial Day (May 27).
Drop by and check it out if you have a notion.

You'll be staying in the wilderness areas and fishing different lakes?
..taking your canoe/

I'll be in the Clark Lake Campground, it's a car camping campground
with 42 sites, flush toilets and a shower house. I'll have two canoes,
the lean, mean muskie chasing machine (aluminum with outboard) and my
little cedar strip. I'll do mostly day trips into the wilderness with
the little canoe and perhaps an overnighter if I'm not getting into
big bass on the day trips. The big canoe is for muskie fishing just
over the border in Wisconsin. And on the days I'm not fishing for
trophy smallmouth in the wilderness or muskie around Boulder Junction
I'll be in search of little native brookies in the trout streams of
the UP. Brookies, smallies and muskie, the Midwest trifecta.

Like I said, drop by anytime I won't be hard to find. The campground
only has four loops and 42 sites and you'll recognize my old Volvo
wagon with the Illinois plates. If you can't bring yourself to drink
a Budweiser then BYOB.
