I only wish I could go on this trip (planning a trip to Mexico then). If you have never fished or even been on the Pere Marquette this is one of Michigan's most iconic rivers. It is not only a great sportsman's river it historically played a big role in the development of the Midwestern pioneer frontier, as well as the ecological ideals of Michigan today.
A great book on the Pere Marquette river of Michigan, it's history and ecology "Cold Running River" by David N. Cassuto. Reading it will give you who are going there a whole new way of looking at one of our country's greatest rivers.
PS Don't forget to visit beautiful down town Branch Michigan while you are there (you'll get this one once you've been there)

Yup, sign me up! I'll explain this to my wife later. The 27th happens to be the 15th anniversary of the day I told her I loved her. Hopefully, she'll forgive me if I send her a picture of me hugging a big ole salmon!

Hey troutking. If she really believed what you said on that day, then you would think she would show it by letting you go without any problems. Now for me, I am going to try to make this trip. I'll wait to mention it to the better half later in the year. One good thing that it is after our wedding anniversery and hopefully not before the divorce. So for now I'm on the list.

So is this one night in the lodge @$72.15 and one day with the guide @171 for a total of $243.15 then?

[Slartybardfast]

Hi Wes,

The plan is two nights at the lodge and two guided days. We are planning on car pooling up on Friday October 26th and come home on Monday October 29th. If you want to do just on night and one day I think we can accommodate that. Let me know.

Parents are going on a trip to Hawaii without me at that time, guess I should plan on getting some good jealousy invoking pictures to send them as well. Count me in!! for both days.

[Slartybardfast]

Awesome Wes! Glad to hear you're coming. It's going to be a great trip!

[rvindy]

Haven't hit the PM since a cold and sparse fish day a few January's ago! Looking forward to this trip. I'm in!
