3 DAYS in the WILD - Sylvania Wilderness: Fishing & Camping U.P. Michigan
Fishing for huge fish with no one around. One of the best smallmouth bass fisheries in the Midwest. Three days fishing and camping in the pure, beautiful, northwoods nature. Loon, Beaver, and LOADS of trophy fish.
My father and I took a 3 day trip to Sylvania Wilderness and portaged our way to a remote lake in the back of the wilderness area. The fishing was phenomenal and the scenery was equally great. This location is like the Boundary Waters Canoe Area / Quetico Provincial Park area of Minnesota & Canada.
I apologize that the video is so long. I got carried away and couldn't stop until I had everything. Watch it in a few different segments to cut the video up into smaller parts.
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 spot 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

Michigan: Bond Falls Scenic Site Part 1
Courtesy of ExploringtheNorth.com
Directions: Tale US-45 north of Watersmeet for 10 miles and turn east on Bond Falls Road in Paulding. Go 3.5 miles and you will arrive at the top of Bond Falls.
From M-28. just east of Bruce Crossing take Calderwood Road south to Bond Falls Road West. Follow the signs to the parking lot and the boardwalk to the viewing platforms.
This scenic waterfall tumbles over ancient fractured volcanic rock in several cascades for a total drop of about 50 feet in all. The falls pools at the bottom creating a little island with a bridge to the island so you can stand in the middle of the falls for an up close view.
There is a new parking area near the base of the falls and an easy level path to the viewing area where you will see one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Upper Peninsula. A 600' boardwalk leads to 6 viewing platforms for a wonderful view of the falls
There is also roadside parking at the top of the falls where you will find a little park, picnic tables, grills, and a little store that sells snacks and ice cream.
The old trail with some steep rocky climbs on the east side of the falls is still accessible for hikers and there are other trails through the woods.
The steady flow of water over Bond Falls is controlled by a hydroelectric dam operated by the Upper Peninsula Power Company. The flowage above the dam is a delight for anglers of all ages and a favorite fishing spot for trout.
