Just wanted to see how many people from the U.P. are on here and maybe where everyone is from.

I live in Houghton now, going to MTech, originally from down state near Mt. Pleasant though.

Originally from Bay City in the lower, left just as they started planting walleye in the Saginaw bay tributaries, go figure. Been in Iron Mountain area since then, 30+ years. Way more lurkers than posters for the UP I believe. Whatcha studying at the mighty Tech, if I may ask.

Environmental Engineering. Particularly interested in surface water, go figure

.

And yep, now that I've lived here for a little over a year not sure I'd want to live anywhere else. Might give Minnesota a try though, they have a lot more lakes. Be good for the job and the winter addiction

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.

Born and raised in Atlanta, GA. job transferred me to OH, 9 years ago and then to Norway, MI. year and a half ago. LOVE IT hear. I disovered ice fishing last winter and fell in love with it. My Georgia Peach thinks I'm crazy though.

I've live in the Houghton/Hancock area for the last five or so years. It's my third tour of duty in Keweenaw. Total time living here is something like 14 - 15 years or so.

+1 EUP, wished I lived closer to Marquette Though, Choices for lakes are limited. MN has more lakes, and personally I think the fisheries are better over there via the DNR. My plan is to move to MN when I finish my degree next year.

Born and raised in the Yoop (Iron River), been calling Alaska home for the last 3 years though. Got another year left, then off to wherever Uncle Sam sends me. Alaska does have more lakes, longer ice fishing season, however we lack for Walleye!
