2007 Michigan Fish-In Dates

[sewdrapes]

It was suggested to hold the cook out on the 4th, which is on Wednesday. I think that would be a great way to celebrate our country's independence together.

I plan to set up the pavilion again for sign in, but someone else will have to take a turn signing people in, because in 2007 I plan to FISH!

I had to laugh that Bill called in our reservations for the fish in tonight. He's excited and has decided that this year we will go up earlier than we did in August and stay a day later. Talk about excited, I think he'll be starting the packing list before I will.

I had a great time at Cabela's at the planning meeting. It's a good thing I was named the planning group leader, somebody had to keep all those "boys" in line! We had a great time and I want to thank Brad for the furled leaders and my frog pin. I also want to thank Mike for the chenille that he passed out at the Loma Linda restaurant just before we all left.

I'm sure the group will be meeting again soon, after all Christmas is coming and what better place to spend money than Cabela's? Let's see, Bill I need waders, a chest pack, a wading rod, etc., etc.

Eric Austin is willing to do a flytying demo/class.
The cookout will be on Wed. the 4th. Menu TBD.
Hopefully J. C. will do another casting lesson.
The casting contest will be on Thursday.
We'll throw in an accuracy contest this year. Rules TBD.
A campfire gathering Friday or Saturday evening.

I take exception to what Jean said... I am a man I don't do LISTS. If you dont have what you need thats what Fly Shops are for!

Yes he does do lists! Shopping lists for his fishing supplies. I will admit, I'm the packing list person, only because I have learned by experience that if I don't I forget something very important.

Jim Flaming and I are going to try for the Hex hatch with Capt. Tony on June 22nd. Sort of a scouting trip for the Fish-In

[Eric D]

Look for crowds that week being it's the 4th of July. This year tourism was down but campgrounds could be crowded that week.

Do hatch charts count as lists?

The lodge has a hatch chart on-line. I clicked on the link to see the Aluminus flotilla hatch. I suspect that it is the dreaded Aluminus flotilla var. grumman.

I have put in for time off.
