    Default Did anyone actually catch fish in MI???

    I don't mean to step on anybodies fly line of course, but I have yet to see a picture of a fish that was caught at the MI fish-in. I am of course in NO WAY insinuating that no fish were caught, and that any lies were told...I'd just like to see a few of the beauties that were brought to hand...I miss them...and was sort of hoping that some of the little ones I caught had grown a bit.

    I caught a few fish, but nothing worth taking a picture of. Also, fishing was the secondary reason why I attended the Fish-In. The time spent with fellow FAOL'ers was the main reason I was there. Those memories will far outlast any fish that I might have caught. Additionally, sharing meals was another activity that brings me great joy, and we did that many times throughout the week.

    Personally, If I didn't catch a fish all week, it would not diminish the memories of the MIFI '08 and rthe friendships I established and renewed.

    Even I caught fish and that was way cool as this was only the second time I fished for trout. The good times I had with my many new best friends outweigh all the fish in the world.

    I'm not trying to belittle the improtance of spending quality time with old and new friends. I agree 100%, it's more about the entire experience, not just catching fish. All I'm looking for is some eye candy.

    I have had the privilege of laying my hands on several of the beautiful trout that inhabit that river, and was just wanting to see a few pictures if there were any.

    I was scanning through some of my own from my days up there and realized that I didn't have as many pictures of fish as I thought I did, so I threw up this post to see if someone had taken a few pictures.

    Don't get me wrong, I've had great fun seeing all the other pictures, and will continue to enjoy them till next year when new ones are posted, and hopefull, if everything works out, take some of my own to post.

    I caught my fair share. Missed a lot of photo ops, too. I'm working on getting photos uploaded soon.

    They don't all have to be huge to be memorable, that's for sure!

    Jackster,

    Now that's what I'm talking about. Man, those are some of the prettiest fish I've ever caught. I just love it.

    I love the colors. I could easily spend hours gazing at one of those fish just to make sure I saw everything on it.

    Thanks for the great pic.

    TT.
