I live on a river a 1/4 mile from Lake Erie and fish the lake with spinning gear like Mike (we almost got out together a couple months ago but 30 kt wind stopped that) Ill troll also for steelhead and walleye or saltwater fish with spinning or baitcasting gear. But I love to flyfish for anything i can catch in fresh or saltwater. I've fished as long as i can remember--- flyfished for 52 yrs and spinfished a little longer than that. I love all kinds of flyfishing from carp, bass and crappie in the marina to tarpon and bones on the flats and from albies to steelhead. I just love fishing.
