I used to live in Alpena when I was attending college. Was that far enough north? Nice summers up there. Winter not so much. :-)
Unfortunately on Huron they have serious issues with cormorants and I was told by a biologist they only get a 1/10 of 1 percent return on their brown trout stocking. (Used to have a brown trout festival). The walleyes do a number on them too.
BTW our college was the first to raise and plant Pacific salmon in Lake Huron. We had our own hatchery.
