Nothing fishy to see here other than this peach-bellied buddy keeping the peace on the sidewalks of downtown Kalkaska!

Double the fun of this oddity by attending the National Trout Festival the last weekend in April.

Not only does this big trout pack a lot of punch, he is accompanied by many other official state icons, such as the state bird (the robin) perching on the state flower (apple blossom). A wolverine lurks below a smaller statue of Michigan itself. The whole compound is quite impressive.
