Whew, much to early in the Winter to deal with this cold blast.  To say that it has been hard to motivate to go out and brave the elements lately is a bit of an understatement, daytime highs right in the teens.  Lots of anglers are already hitting the ice fishing scene up here, i have heard there is upwards of 4 inches on some interior U.P. lakes.  Rivers are in good shape water wise, temps in the mid 30’s.

A new blog – The Laughing Whitefish was started this past week, stop by and visit from time to time.  Blog is about life in the Upper Peninsula from a fly fishing guide & outdoor enthusiasts point of view.  During the Winter months I will be posting lots of info as days on the river become more limited this time of the year.
