Fish stories are so often exaggerations, but not this one.

My brother Chris made his first cast from a boulder next to a small cliff on the east side of the lake. Ten seconds later he pulled in a beautiful brook trout. Ten minutes later I had a small fire going and was cooking several of these delicious fish over the flames. If you have never had trout cooked over a fire, you are missing out on one of the most delicious dinners. We used flat rocks as plates, and ate a couple brookies each.

"How did you find this place?" Chris asked.

That's a story for another time, but let me describe the location briefly. There are no roads or even footpaths leading to these lakes. You drive many miles of sandy two-tracks in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, until you see a two-hundred foot cliff rising up on the other side of a small river. Park the car, cross the river on a log, and start climbing up the rocky slopes to the left of the cliffs. If you use your topographical map and compass well, it will take you less than thirty minutes to get to the first lake, nestled among the rocks and pines, maples and firs.
