I am a bit reluctant to stay at a French river site due to problem bears but feel much less concerned in the more remote areas.

The fishery is a puzzle. My guess is it all has to do with a baitfish that the fish have acquired a preference for. I suspect the baitfish leave the bays and frequent the more open water of the bay with the gamefish in tow.

May and early June is probably prime time for the area we were in and I will back burner the area and perhaps give it another go sometime because I like it.

From the Detroit area it is a one day drive which makes it attractive for a week long trip. I also have my eye on Collins inlet which looks to be a rather unique natural geographic formation. Around Edward island.......could be interesting.
