Used to fish the Thunder Bay River out of Alpena between studying for exams at the college there, which is of course north of Oscoda. We had our own trout hatchery at the school and some great music at the local bars on the weekends. That was back in the late 70's when salmonid fishing was really popping!
Our school was the first to stock kings into Lake Huron after hatching the eggs and growing out the fry. That was just before i got there though.
I'll never forget dropping a crawler in front of a monster brown's nose just below the Thunder Bay Dam. That fish absolutely refused to bite! It was obviously in spawning mode as i have found browns can get as lock jawed as salmon during that time.
