Born and raised in central Wisconsin, just a stone's through from the Wolf River near Fremont, and moved to the Menominee area a little more than a decade ago.

UP jigstick is right, everything I've found says Alaska has more than 3 million lakes. Also everything I can find says Michigan has a little over 11,000 lakes where as Minnesota has a little of 11,800. Anyhow, doesn't matter either way. More than enough lakes in either case.


In Michigan bodies of water have to be a certain size before they are considered a lake.  15 acres I think, but not sure.  In Minnesota what we call ponds are considered lakes.  Learned this when I worked for the state many years ago.  Somebody has my permission to check on this before an ugly war breaks out.

Just got back up today. Ya we'll have to get together. Might try working something out with Chase to go down to LBDN next weekend. Sucks that my auger is broke now though.

Feel sory for the guys with "Green cards". Can never be a real yooper ya know. Best you can upgrade to is green card status. But at leasy you guys are experiencing it. I've been to a lot of places in a lot of states but its pretty hard to leave here for long. Now if we can just straighten out this DNR and fish planting stuff we would be right up there with Minnisota ad Ontario as far as good fishinn lakes for everyone.

Grew up on Huron Bay and now live north of Lansing.  Mud holes, corn fields and cows.  A long ways away from Lake Superior/God's Country. 

I will be back.  I just hope I can still walk upright to enjoy it.

I'm born and raised in the UP (Iron River) and get to work on the woods and waters of the UP and northern WI everyday, not to mention having plenty of time off in the winter to fish.  Life is rough......

Born in St. Joseph MI moved to Marquette right after high school for the outdoors and NMU. Lived here 4 years, moved to Alaska for 2 years, then found my way back to Marquette. Been back here for about a year now and it is great to be back. I love it up here.
