Rick - my cabin is between Atlanta and Fairview in Northern MI (LP). I had originally hoped for trout but after reading so of the posts in the forum I might reconsider and go with BG and SMB. We'll see, I need to do some habitat improvements first and then I'll stock the fish.

No problem with Cormorants ... I do have a Blue Heron that stops in every so often but doesn't appear to be a problem yet.
