Hey guys, I'm thinking of taking a long weekend trip to the U.P. for some fishing and a little hiking and sightseeing. For those of you that have been there or live there, what would your recommendations be for a place to stay and places to fish and things to see? We will not be trailoring a boat so any place with a boat rental would be perfect. We love to fish for northerns as we don't have many opportunities to catch them here in Ohio. Thanks!!!

We don’t like tourists

Neither do I. Thanks

But they like our money.

Small tourist shops like your money. The amount of tourists we get is really annoying and tourist season never ends

Wow, maybe the NTA should rethink having the National Convention there then.

Escanaba is hardly the yoop

I don’t believe that...your joking I hope...

I tour a lot in the UP never met a bad local yet..,

Not joking

Where abouts are you located?

I can see certain areas get over run by tourist, which I've been thru them areas but never had any locals not make us feel welcome...

I lived up there for six years and the locals were very friendly, unlike this muskrat al fella. Plenty to do and see. I'm looking forward to going back for the NTA. Kinda like going back home in a way.

The Copper country

Nice area...

Lots of good fishing all depends on what your up for Lake Michigan has about everything to trout streams in the National Forest and lakes you see all the way to the bottom Northern, walleye, perch and bluegills.

Lac labelle lodge is a really nice place to stay and good food
At the bear belly bar and grill! Right up by copper harbor. Lake connected
Lake Superior also so you get all types of fishing

what part of the u p you coming up to lots of good fishing all over lots of boat rentals in little bay denoc area Escanaba -Gladstone also way dam area in crystal fall area pm me if you want more area

I Love there but tend to stay away from Mothers day to Fathers day (Black fies!)

You seem like a peachy person to be around Al, I think I'm gonna try to be your neighbor

Southern part of the U.P.as in the Bays de Noc area has great fishing,not saying further north doesn't just not familiar with that area.I would look into the area from Rapid River to Escanaba.
