Ken, As a matter of fact, I have thought about moving to the UP. I hate all the Mosquitoes though. But we really like living in the mid michigan area. I will try and get to the point where the trout will survive year around. This year I had about 200 bucks into those 100 rainbows. Only got to eat 12 of them. They were very tastey though. Its kind of like mushrooming, after I pay for a hotel room, food, gas, etc, those Morels cost me about 10.00 each.
