Ok All,
It’s time to see if there is intrest in a Michigan Fish-In for 2008.
Location will be the same, AuSable River, Grayling, Mi.
Gates Lodge HQ.
Dates 30 June thru 5 or 6 July.
If you think this sound’s like a Good Idea We(mainly Jean) will get started working on it.
Bill
Yes.
Sounds good to me.
As Tony the Tiger said, “It’s Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 8” Ha, ha, ha, ha… I can hardly wait. Is it to early to call Rusty for a reservation???
Joseph the Giddy!
Just got off the phone with EdD count him in too.
Now lemme see, ONLY if JC and LF again come a day late so that I can get at least ONE perch dinner at the Lodge. AND if Jackster just happens to develop a “sore” right arm where we ( all others) can have a chance at the long cast competition. If those parameters are met, I/we will be there.
Mark
PS: Actually, I have thought it over. We WILL be there regardless. ( I had to edit) God willing!
I plan on being there and hopefully being able to asist the planners at some point. My first suggestion is that eveyone buy Jackster a drink before the casting competition. That should bring him down to a competetive level :). barring that, get out there and start practicing everyone.
Bill
Sounds like we need a planning meeting at Cabelas 8)
Brad
A Fish In in Michigan with that group? You know I want in.
AND, just to unswell the heads of the organizers and participants of the 2007 ID fish-in, we should try to TOP their attendance of 61. 
Remember, records are made to be broken.
Mark
Whoo Haa!!
Lets Git-R-Done!!
Like Jack Hise said, I’m in. At least I’m in if I can get off from work. I’ll put in for vacation this week, if I can get away with it. I look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones, Maybe Mike Flannigan will deliver his famous, peanutbutter fudge in person! JC won’t be there because he knows that I’ll eat up all of the perch! :shock: OK, I’ll save him some. I don’t want to risk upsetting Superman. (Besides, if I were to eat all of the perch, he might tell Betty about MY tattoo! <gulp>) Woo-hoo! I’m already thinking about what flies to tie. I need a new rod, of course. (This IS a good excuse, isn’t it?)
Ed
Count me out for now. It all depends on how things finally turn out with Amy and if I can get leave.
Just curious, but why over the July 4th Holiday? Wouldn’t you prefer to travel at time when there is a little less traffic both in the air and on the roads?
Eric;
As far as traffic, etc. last year was low on both with the 4th falling in the middle of the week. If you can pop in for a day or 2 we’ll sure make room for ya.
Best three week stretch of the year in my book, Grayrock and a stay at Wa Wa Sum two weeks before the Fish-In, all while the Hexs and then the Tricos are a poppin. Gotta love it! 8)
I am building Jon his first fly rod for his birthday, so I know he will be stoked. Need to buy him some youth waders for Christmas, so whenever you fellas want to do the Cabelas thing, let me know. Oh and don’t forget the Midwest Fly Tying Expo the first weekend of December. You guys to the south should just bag it and move north. Think of all the gas it will save you!
I’m in too!
I’ll be there. Count on me to help in any way. Hi Jim Flamming!
Hey Bob! Great to hear from you again! Next time you are in MI, gimme a shout. We’ll fish the Muskegon.
OK seem’s like there is definitely intrest, will check with Rusty to double check on the dates. A Cabelas Organazitional meeting sounds like a winner. Also who all is planning to get to the Mason Fly Show first saturday of December. we could hold a Org. Meeting there also.
Bill
I was invited to tie at it, but declined. Not sure if I will attend since it’s a 5 hour drive each way.
Joe
