Kirk Deeter, who blogs for the Field & Stream website, recently named Michigan the top state in the U.S. for flyfishing.
Deeter credited the state for an abundance of bass, pike, steelhead, salmon, panfish and fly-fishable lakes.
He ranked New York twelfth. The only other Great Lakes states he mentioned were Pennsylvania, Minnesota and Wisconsin — and then only as an invitation to rebut his decision not to include them in the top 12.
What do you think? Was he right?
