I've been up there at different times of the year, and was born and raised just outside of Buffalo, NY, so the snow don't bother me too much. I'm planning on somewhere around Grayling, MI, not the Yoop, though that's very pretty country up there too. Oh ye, the trouties do get to some rather large OMG sizes, as do the steelhead and salmon that run in the rivers up there like the Muskegon, the Pere Marquette and quite a few of the others.
