What 1 Year Fishing in U.P. Michigan looks like.. (Spoiler: It's AWESOME!)

This is why I FISH for Musky, Smallmouth, Walleye, & Trout. EPIC moments on the water by myself, with friends, and with clients. I hope you all enjoy this!
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 love this video, and certainly have my favorite parts😇 ! Really great work, Benjamin. We look forward to fishing with you again this year

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Aaron Soto Right on! I had a ton of fun with the two of you and the two guys too!

[@donmiles9083]

Love your personal attitude and preference of small river fishing! God's country everywhere you look. Very enjoyable video!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Don Miles Thanks, Don! I don't know if you've subscribed or not, and if not, I encourage you to join the channel. I have a bunch of content similar to this.

[@ericpennington6530]

Really cool video man, for real! It gets me so excited for the upcoming season here in PA. Can't wait to be on the river as much as possible!! I do a little trout fishing as well,but I really love the river!! Take care🎣

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Eric Pennington Thanks, Eric. I think your season in PA starts before ours. Good luck!

[@ericpennington6530]

Thank you,good luck to you too bud.

Get a mepps agila #5 inline trout lure always been been the top of lures for me. I'd also like to get a quote for my dad and two uncles who grew up in Detroit and always traveled to the yoop to hunt and fish when they were growing up. It's been close to 30 years since they were all last up there

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Jason Wolfe Yes! I love it too. What is your favorite blade and hair color combo?

[@jasonwolfe6266]

@@HaightsWanderings the one I originally used was a rainbow trout with black fur caught two 40"muskie back to back over an old drainage pillar using a slow retrieve

[@slimecoast2coast]

that pike at 13 minutes was niiiice!!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Slime Coast2Coast Heck yeah! Some of the fish this year were great!

[@davidhudak4180]

You look like an AWESOME person to go out with. I just happen to find you on KZbin and love your videos. My son and I have been visiting the UP for 2 years now (what a beautiful place). We might have to do a day with you one of these days when we’re up there.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@david hudak Hi, David. Thanks for the kind comment. Send me an email through my website if you have any interest in a trip. Thanks!

[@Slirpyfilms]

What a handsome guy in the thumbnail! 😉 This video got me hype for our trip up there this summer, can’t wait!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Slirpyfilms He is extremely photogenic and got an awesome picture with an awesome fish.

[@Astarwulf]

I am looking forward to actually getting on the water this year instead of just by it :)

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Astarvox Good luck, we are still in the ice and snow for now.

[@Astarwulf]

@@HaightsWanderings Yeah Iron mountain still is too, just looking forward at the moment :)

[@ericwakeman6665]

Very nicely done as always

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Eric Wakeman Thanks, Eric. I put some effort into making this video special!

[@elopez9869]

Haha nice spoiler!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@E Lopez Heck yeah, man!

[@clancymcintyre3241]

Hey man. I'm heading up to the UP in late May for some hiking and fishing. Would love to get into some river pike and smallmouth with my waders. Do you have any recs on rivers to look at?

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Clancy Mcintyre Hi, Clancy. I hope you understand but I do not give out names to any locations online. The truth is every river is beautiful and they all hold fish. If you find water, it will hold fish, so explore and have fun!

[@camaslindbeck1985]

Are you going to be at Great Waters?

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Camas Lindbeck No, I wanted to go but I am unable to. However, Dark Waters should be over there (he is sometimes on my channel) and you should say hi if you show up!

[@camaslindbeck1985]

@@HaightsWanderings cool. I was hoping to finally meet you in person! I hear Seth has a new film in the showcase so I’ll be checking the showings out

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Camas Lindbeck Another time! :)

[@ThePisteeBoys]

off piste. thats what its all aboot

[@HaightsWanderings]

@the Pistee Boys I am not quite sure what " off-piste" means in this context but my guess is it has to do with going "out of bounds" in a fishing sense to remote waters...? If so, then I am 100% in agreeance with you.

[@ThePisteeBoys]

@@HaightsWanderings lol yes off piste is like going off trail, out of bounds, etc. I knew your deductive reasoning skills from teaching would eventually play out in real time

[@HaightsWanderings]

@The Pistee Boys Haha, right on! Context clues for the win! :)
