Ah Curran, home of the little train that could. They still running that train?

Not surprising. Years ago my Mother used to attach the deer hair mice and some of the fancier salmon flies I tied to her coat. I ended up selling quite a few to her friends. As for the feathers in the hair. Back in High School girls used to buy roach clips with feathers attached to them. They used to tell me they were from some exotic African bird. They had a hard time accepting that those feathers came from a chicken.

I'm sure it will, I hope to get after them more this year. There are some nice bedding areas on Cedar Lake I want to try.

That thing reminds me of Mothra....lol

Yeah, I'm a transplant. I'm still a resident of AK (drivers license, truck plates, etc), and was in Kodiak when I joined the site. The CG has me here for the time being until I go back up there or back out West. From Indiana originally and this is my second tour here. Love LSC!! Boy they sure do send you guys around a bit. I was checked by the CG last summer one evening walleye fishing on the lower Detroit River. They were really surprised to find out that I was catching walleye at 11:00 pm at night. I then asked if they were from around here and they said no. After a brief check I gave them the low down on the fishing in the area along with the when's, where's and how-to's.

Sounds good to me. The siblings and I are actually planning a 4-day weeekend up at Harrisville State Park around the end of June or July, we haven't decided on a final date yet.

My parent's place is on the NE corner of Van Etten lake just off of Loud Drive. My father's big plan was to retire up there and go salmon fishing on a regular basis. So much for that plan..... He and I were just talking about breaking out the Fly rod's again. Been a long time. I did manage to take the kayak out on the lower a couple of times this summer to cast for some Smallie's. No keepers but it was still fun, even if my digital camera is now lying on the bottom of the river just below the whirlpool.

Thanks for the welcome everybody, I'm downriver in Taylor and about 20 minutes from the lower Detroit River and Huron River. My parents are retired and living in Oscoda and my girlfriend has a place in Prudenville just south of Houghton Lake. So I am usually in one of those 3 places. I thought about hitting the Huron down in Flat Rock this weekend to try for some Steel but my to do list has grown exponentially in the last few days. Wish I could get out, this warm weather isn't going to last forever. Hey Steeldrifter, I have been visiting the Oscoda/Harrisville/Greenbush/Mikado area for close to 30 years. My first steelhead came off of McDonald Creek. I hear they have been doing pretty good on the AuSable.

Perfect.....getting ready to re-stock the fly box and I am looking for some foam patterns for the gills.

Hello, my name is Mark. I stumbled across this site while checking out another site that talked about a "Circus Peanut". I started fly fishing and tying my own back when I was 11. I am starting to get back into it more since I purchased a kayak that opened up a lot more fishing opportunities for me. Normally I am a walleye fisherman but I am feeling the need to branch out again. WIth that being said if anyone wants to trade a Detroit River walleye trip for a morning or evening fly fishing trip I'm game.
