Sit down Q & A FULL Responses | Thoughts on fishing, life, & the Upper Peninsula of Michigan

These questions all came from the last Q and A video where I did the giveaway. Our winners were chosen but I wanted to do a fun video responding to the comments and questions. I wasn't able to respond to everyone but I did my best!
In respect of local anglers I do NOT name any river/stream that I fish. Please respect my "no-name" policy and do NOT post the names of any spots in the comments. Thank you for understanding!
Leave a message or a question below! I love responding and communicating with fellow fisherpeople, adventurers, and wanderers.
Thanks for all of your support, Haight's Wanderings

I watched the whole thing and loved it. Perfect timing too, because ironically, I had just finished sending you an email about this summer, and when I looked at my phone I saw the notification for this! Thoroughly enjoyed it and good call on the background video.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Shane Lowe Right on, man! I just emailed you back as well! Glad you watched the whole thing. I am glad the side clips were enjoyable. I spent a while going through and finding additional videos!

[@mattipsen1471]

That was a great video and I appreciate your content! Can’t wait for trout opener in the UP!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Matt Ipsen Thanks for the kind comments. I look forward to trout opener as well!

[@tanjarott7535]

I'm still here! Divided it in between two sessions but I sure enjoyed it.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Tanja rott I am glad you enjoyed it. I also just posted some pretty cool videos of multi-day trips on the rivers. Check them out if you have a chance!

[@jimburge6199]

Benjamin, I enjoyed your Christmas Q&A video. Just watched it for a second time. Getting rev’d up for the season! See you in July!! Jim Burge

[@HaightsWanderings]

@jimburge6199 Right on. Glad you liked it! The season is here already! :) Fishing has been great.

[@brooktrout1477]

Get yourself a little heater for the basement, very good info, keep up the good work bud

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Brook Trout 1 Yeah, I have one somewhere. :)

[@MBrown-qw4ei]

Thanks for the video. Watched the whole video hoping my question what make the cut. YES!! Next to last question. Thanks 👍 Didn't win the charter drawing but hope to fish with you one day. Might be up your way next summer fishing the Manistique lakes.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@M. Brown Score! I am glad I got to it! I tried to hit every question but I am sure I might have missed one or two, here or there. Possibly some day it can work out! I plan to do a giveaway trip once per year if time allows! :)

[@johnporter9597]

Stealthcraft Medium is their 2 man raft, was just looking at it yesterday. I think when it comes time to replace mine. I will stay with the 3 man Hooligan. Just so much versatility when it comes to conventional or fly fishing.

[@johnporter9597]

If you ever wanted a couple of days of just fishing, I will drag my raft up to the UP and row all day for you….. got a few hours on the sticks being a guide here in the Appalachian Mountains.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@John Porter Oh, definitely. I wouldn't give up my 3-man. But, if I have extra resources I would buy the 2-man for my solo outings.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@John Porter Do you guide for trout, bass, or musky in the mountains? That seems awesome!

[@johnporter9597]

@@HaightsWanderings I guide for bass and trout. One river I guide on has just trout above a small hydro dam but, if I float below the dam- I have a chance at smallmouth, spotted bass, walleyes and also stripers. A lot of these reservoirs have been stocked for years with stripers and they run up the rivers often.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@John Porter Nice, it's fun to have a chance at variety!

[@DougBomeisler]

Congrats, you pronounced my last name correctly

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Doug Bomeisler It was a lucky guess on my part!

[@G4LACTIC_MU77IN]

Your awnsering these questions amazingly. There's always gonna be people trying to pry info out from you on specific lakes and rivers. and I can see you were getting annoyed after the 4th or 5th asking what and where you use baits.... Sheesh people go explore and find the spots. More rewarding finding it on your own then asking someone where the big fish are. Damn

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Jon Parker It's okay. I want to help but not give away too much. There is such a fine line between the two I think.

[@coryhobbs717]

Me and Paige Hobbs watched the whole video

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Cory Hobbs Heyyyy! I love to hear it! It totally makes me happy to hear that someone did the whole thing! I appreciate it. Happy Holidays to the two of you!

[@mattn9628]

I don’t know if you have any interest but I’m in the middle of the UP and catch a lot of browns, if you want to fish let me know.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Matt N I appreciate it. Some day I'd like to get out and fish a bit more. I always find it difficult to get away from teaching during the prime months for browns which (I think is fall right?).

[@mattn9628]

@@HaightsWanderings I’m not fishing lake run browns but lake run browns are fall/winter. People usually catch them while chasing steelheads. I fish river that’s open all year. I went last weekend and got three. I’ll stop fishing when the weather drops below freezing. I don’t like fly fishing when you’re dealing with ice in the rod eyes.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Matt N Ahh, super cool! That's cool to know!
