I saw Gary Borger at the Midwest Fly Fishing Expo a couple of years ago. He gave a wonderful presentation on bug behavior. Today I found some videos that he made that I really like. If you are interested in fly-fishing, but need to learn some fundimentals - or just want to watch a guy cast and land a few fish, you should check it out. He is a great explainer, and you will get alot out of it. http://tinyurl.com/d26h7y

"Huroc" Park tailwater - Flatrock MI Dec 4, 2010
My GPS identified this park as "Huron" Park. It is indeed on the Huron River, but is actually named "Huroc" Park. The dam showed here is 8' high, so the Salmon and Trout have a recently-built Fish Ladder so that they can get to their spawning grounds. The downstream entrance to the ladder can be seen as a small dark square at the left of the dam. Also shown is a pretty pedestrian bridge with a small dam under it. I saw several people fishing in the area, but did not see any of them land anything. Supposedly the Steelhead are active in the river right now.
Pointe Mouillee State Game Area Dec 4, 2010
Pointe Mouillee State Game Area is at the mouth of the Huron River in Rockwood MI. It consists partly of an island that was built by the Army Core of Engineers out of dredgings that they they needed a place for. Lake Erie can be seen in the background. I visited this spot while scouting fishing areas. Most interesting was the tiny slip of land at the mouth of the river - with homes on it. It was surrounded by a levee which was about 2' high. I wonder if they ever had a flood that topped that levee? Today Lake Erie was reported to be 16" above legal level.
