Looking for a place in the lakes area of Minnesota to spend a couple months fishing this next summer. Any ideas?

If you expand on this a bit I may be of help. I live in the lakes area of Minnesota. Give me an idea of your expectations. Will you be towing a boat? Any other activities?
As a Michiganian, I wonder where the "lakes area" is? I also like to fish. I've been to Lake Vermillion and Lake Winni. Just curious and watching this thread.
Michigan has 64,980 lakes, according to the Michigan DNR. At least 11,000 are big enough to have names. About 26,000 bigger than an acre, 7500 bigger than 10 acres, almost 1200 bigger than 100 acres, 100 bigger than 1000 acres. Why go to Minnesota to find a lake?
When I was growing up in Michigan we still called ourselves Michiganders. People no longer like the sound of that?
Simple answer? Minnesota had more fish and good fishing resorts. I think the Minnesota DNR must have done a better job of preserving good fishing habitat.
Michiganian...Michigander?? 2 schools of thought...I use both.
