Our destination is the famed Two Hearted River in Michigan’s wild and remote Upper Peninsula with Brad Petzke, Rivers North Guide Service.  The “UP” is a fly angler’s paradise with spring and fall salmon and steelhead, lake run browns, resident brook and brown trout, and even Atlantic Salmon.  Looking for solitude?  Brad dials us into the Two Hearted River, made famous by Ernest Hemingway, and shares stories of logjams and chainsaws, grouse hunting and bushwhacking, snowmobiles and thin ice. 

Bonus:  Where to find the best coho and steelhead runs in the UP

With Host, Steve Haigh
