Michigan Fish-In Events
Here are a few thing's that will be happening during the August Fish-In
JC & LF will be holding casting lesson's and demo's.
Eric Austin will hold a fly tying lesson.
deleo will bring some bamboo rod's to tryout.
At least one trip to Spike's Keg-O-Nail's for thier famous burger!!
If I can talk ohiotuber into it we will do a pancake breakfast one morning!
A Friday Evening Cook-Out. Bring your own meat and a dish to pass.
A distance casting contest on Saturday with a drawing for a rod (for more info read further).
I've booked two afternoon float trips with one of our member's "Capt Tony". Gate's Lodge (sponsor) also offer's float trip's.
Another Lodge is holding room's for us so there is still time to find lodging on the river.
I suggest a Google search for "Au Sable River, Michigan" to find place's to eat, visit, etc.
For information on Lodging, float trip's and canoe/kayak rental contact me via email.
Thing's are filling up fast for the summer so don't delay too long.

Aw, we just gotta have a distance competition. Everybody likes to either be in one, or watch the things. We can put one together that will be 'fair' to everyone who enters. Who knows, I might have to defend my title!
And bring all your 'stuff' for the 'swap-table'. We leave it up all the time. Mark your name and price on them. Usually many things just go for free.
Impromptu tying happens at anytime, anyplace. Got some unusual 'gear', rods, reels etc? Bring them along to show to others. We're all there to see and learn.

Jack - How will we know who is who? Do we just look for trout bum type or the ones who are sleeping under the trees with fly rod across their knees and hat tipped down over their head? I suppose it will be good to guess, anyone seen walking around in a daze at the lodge and banging into walls is one of us too? Tounge-n-cheek

Jonezee,
There are FAOL name tags you can print from this site. I am unable to remember how to access them, but you can do a search. I have a pin on type plastic name tag holder on a zinger that the name tag can be slipped into. Also, how about those FAOL patches on a favorite shirt or hat?...or FAOL on your forehead written with a "Sharpies" marker?...etc, etc. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/wink.gif

You can call me Mike & you can call me Mikey..Just remember that this site's about sharing!

I suppose a tatoo would be a little over-board? I have a hunch it won't take long to get aquainted. My black F-150 will have a FAOL bumper sticker on it and a Sisters Oregon "Catch and Release Wild Trout" license frame on the Michigan plate. 52 days and counting........
-
I'm ordering more patch's so I can have a clean shirt every day with an FAOL patch!!
Well.....Maybe every other day!!!
I'll also be looking for pin or clip on name tags.

There needs to be a big 'art-material/craft-board-stuff' board where everybody 'sign's in'. Name tags could be available there. Don't forget a black Sharpie on a string for the board too... http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/wink.gif
Probably at Gates is the place for the board...
-
On the sign-in board, you put your name (and screen/bb name) and where you are staying. That way people can find you. Perhaps one at Kneff Lake and one at Gates as well....?
It looks like we will have people strung out at various places, and we need to make sure everyone feels included.

JC;
Gate's would be the best place for the BB, Name Tags (I can pick up a 100 pin on's cheap)and registration. I also urge everyone to have an emergency contact number should someone need to contact them. I'm sure cell phone's will be in abundance and, if we have coverage, may be included in the registration information.
Name Tags should also include your bb name.
I'll email the proposed event schedule soon. It's a very loose schedule of a few event's that we may like to attend.
