Outing Details:

Once again, old friends and new will gather in the great North Woods to pursue the mighty King Salmon on their annual migration up the wild and scenic Pere Marquette River. The Bueter compound on James Road in Baldwin, Michigan will again be the center of activities. As always, this is a FLIES ONLY camp no spinning gear or snagging. Campsites are plenty, but space for pop-ups, motor homes, and travel trailers are limited. RSVP asap, please! There are precious few Cabins still available here at the Cloud 9 if you prefer to stay in a Cabin better git on it, and reserve one!!

Great food prepared here at Camp will again sustain us. The infamous 24 hour campfire will again be the gathering place for storytellers, liars, and lackeys. Enclosed areas for foodservice and activities will be erected. New techniques for fooling these leviathons, new fly patterns, new lies(I mean stories) will be told, retold, discussed, and cussed about, as well as the spirit of mentorism and camaraderie that have become the hallmarks of Salmon Camp.
