Trout Festival - Proud Lake Recreation Area - April 28, 2012

Lots of people having fun trying to catch a trout on opening day. This location was stocked with some real lunkers. I witnessed a few hefty ones being pulled from the water using various techniques. For the fly fishers, they had a month of catch and release flies only fishing, and I observed several doing just that. And now with the regular trout season open and the weather beginning to warm up, I hope to get out there and join them!

Berrien County in West Michigan - April, 2013

Been a long time since I fished the Pier at Benton Harbor, so spent an evening and morning there. Saw one guy land a fish well over 35" - you can see him netting it, but the fish is not  visible due to poor cellphone camera resolution. Trust me, it was a monster. Also saw the contents of a fisherman's 5-gallon bucket: 2 HUGE channel catfish, I'll be back!

Also fished at the Berrien Springs Dam, where there is a well-known fish ladder. Saw fish jumping, but let them all stay in the water. -It was a wonderful day and fortunately I beat the storms that rolled through the area the following day. http://tinyurl.com/7x8wx65

Midwest Fly Fishing Expo - Extreme Decals - March 10-11 2012

I saw these 2 vehicles parked at a recent Fly Fishing show. Can you guess what they like? I would guess, "Decals!"
