Spring Mill Pond Snake May 2011
I saw several snakes in Spring Mill Pond (Island Lake Recreation Area, Brighton MI) last week, and managed to snap a picture of this one. It was about 2-1/2 to 3 feet long, and moved quickly in about 6” of water. Does anyone know what kind of snake this is?

Midwest Fly Fishing Expo 2011
The Midwest Fly Fishing Expo in Warren MI is the oldest Fly Fishing show in the US. I Enjoyed looking at the Fly Rods, Drift Boats, and fly-fisher gadgets. If the old-timey exhibitors had taken a debit card I would have spent money! There were also alot of guide services and outfitters represented. But what I saw the most were the fly-tyers and tons of feathers. Check out the stuffed rooster in my photos The best part were the seminar on Line Handling and management by Kelly Galloup (live at the casting pond) and "Hex on the Huron" by Dirk Fishbach. Thank's Dirk, I took tons of notes!

Ice Fishing on Kent Lake - Milford Michigan 3-6-2011
Beautiful day on the lake. Still about 10" of ice. There must be lots of fish down there, they are certainly not in my bucket.

Winter Saturday 1-5-2011
The blizzard of 2011 was supposed to be a few days ago. Wait, what? It is snowing like crazy! I cannot see beyond the next building from my office window. It will probably take me an extra hour to get home. Ready Set Go!

Fiesta Restaurant - Wonderful food - Jan 2010
My favorite mexican carryout just became my favorite mexican sit-down restaurant. "Fiesta Mexican Restaurant & Cantina" replaced T.W. Amigo's on M59 in Hartland. last month. My first meal at the new restaurant was the Mexcian Plate, which had Beef Stew, Pork Stew, Hash, Beans, Rice and tortilla's. My lovely spouse had the Small Combination Plate, which had a Beef Taco, Enchilada, and a Cheese Tostada with Rice. The fried tortilla chips were just as good as they were at the carry-out and the Friday Night Wait was similar. Long, but worth it in the end.

Fly Fishing Video by Gary Borger
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
