Hey Bob,

Used to fish off the piers and the ice shelfs at South Haven early in the year. March, April. Power plant at South haven you can walk the beach to. Smaller browns, Jacks, mostly. Clouser...

I agree with Al on this one. A lot of the problems I had initially were due to hair that was the wrong type for the job. Spend some time on the internet and look at Blue Ribbon Flies, Chris Helms...

Have had a place on the Ausable for my whole life and I knew exactly where every one of those spots are. Had my nephew up last week, new to FF, and we were streamer fishing below the cabin from the...

I have owned full size trucks for the last 10 years and drive an average of 45-55K miles annually for work. I purchased an 06 Toyota RAV4 with all the bells and whistles last July. I currently have...

Pm is a great stream, and yes, the salmon have started. Fewer canoers after this coming weekend though. Try above M-37 as fewer folks canoe, and less fisherman too. Streamer are great right now,...

I too saw people fishing during the closures while in the Park in July. Don't know why they felt they needed to but always someone who will do things the way they think is OK. Mentioned it to several...

fished an emerger/parachute pattern out west called a Crystal Caddis that was very good. Anyone have the recipe? Thanks in advance. Litehen 8)

Hey dreaton,

The Jordan, Boardman, Betsie, Manistee are all less than an hour. Don't overlook some world class smallmouth fishing in the bay and in local lakes. Traverse area is one of the most...

Hadn't checked the board in a while, so this is not very timely. I would try the Escanaba north of Gwinn, and the Driggs upstream of 28. I have done very well on both streams a number of times. Go...

Just picked up a Dry Fly Float Boat from Dave Mcintire here and MI. Two man, well put together, rides great. Contact him on the WEB. JIM C

As I have fished the Ausable for over 40 years (since I was 5) this is a style familiar to me. Basically, an easier to tie wersion of an extended body. The long shank hook gives the deer hair support...

This is a problem that is ongoing and will not be solved anytime soon. Castwell, although you are right that some will not buy licenses if the fees are escalated that much, most sportmen and women...

I have been fortunate enough to fish a number of places in the US, Canada, UK, and NZ. I am planning a trip this year to SW Montana. I love to travel, see the sights, fish new places, learn new...

I've had great luck using Potter's River god emerger

Hook TMC 101 or 100
Thread Yellow 8/0

Tail woodduck flank under rust zelon

abdomen light yellow dubbing

wing buds Grey zelon,...

Thanks for the start, I'll keep researching. JIM C

Looking for a two or three man float boat, probably 12-14 ft. Want to get a high end boat. Any suggestions? Consumers Reports doesn't give rating on most sporting gear.

For a number of years a good friend talked about FF and tying with me. About 5 years ago I started a new career that involved flying every week and staying in hotels 3-5 nights a week. I realized...

What is the recipe for the yellow sally if I may ask? I am heading out west this summer and would like to tie some other patterns.

I have gotten some nice small yellow hackle on the Lines end coop. Straight yellow and barred yellow. Since it is not a color I use a lot, this is an inexpensive way to get saddle hackle of unusual...

Thanks Normand,

Didn't have a materials list which is what I was looking for. Guess I'll fake it. Litehen

Lemon Drop Sally is a parachute stone. Anyone have a material list for this? I can guess, but would rather not.

Robert Traver (John Voelker) cause I love the UP and brook trout fishing, and even losing at cribbage afterwards would be good.

Thanks to all for the good info! I appreciate the willingness to share on this site. Looks like I have some tying ahead. Also, seems to be Flavs and epeorus at that time. Certain patterns that anyone...

Probably the Madison, but I'm flexible. Interested in a teaching guide who will be generous with how tos.

Hey all,

I have reserved a place for 10 days or so at the beginning of July (5-16) in Ennis and need a little guidance on what to tie. I have a list of the standards, have already tied up 20 dozen...
