Guest Report post Posted July 24, 2003 It sounds as if this forum has it's roots in the Michigan-Indiana border area, is that correct? I am curious because I was born near Watervliet, Mich 65 years ago this Sunday and grew up near Elkhart, Ind so I have some roots there also. I was born with the Midwest Spiny Ray Gene and it is still alive and well! Ive Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted July 24, 2003 I'm from the Cincinnati, OH area but spend most of my time fly fishing the Indiana Smallmouth streams about 1 1/2 hr drive away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted July 24, 2003 Admin: Really, you fish in the Indiana area! Finally someone that I can talk to about this area (other then the local fly fishing shop guy). I live in Windsor, Ontario; but work out of Fort Wayne, Indiana. I'm trying to find some spots in Northern Indiana/Southern Michigan for trout fishing. Do any of them exist? If so, what ties do you recommend. Any info is much appreciated! Kris (p.s. I'm orignally from New Brunswick, home of the Miramichi River. I'm just a relocatee, and trying to find some local places to fish!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted July 24, 2003 Hello and welcome to the forum! I mainly fly fish the SW Indiana Smallmouth streams and there are maybe one or two trout streams in the South but I have heard alot about N Indiana Trout and found a link that you might be interested. Here's the link: http://www.midwesttroutfishing.com/indiana...orthEastern.asp As far as fly selection goes I really wouldn't know because I'm not much of a trout fisherman myself, but would love to get into one day!

Guest Report post Posted July 24, 2003 South Central PA, home of the Susquehanna River and multiple fine tributaries! There is a lot of good smallie fishing within 10 to 20 minutes of my door. Not a lot of great trout water, though. That requires a drive. I prefer the smallies anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted August 1, 2003 Margate, NJ. I'm on the same island as Atlantic City (about 3 miles north of me), so all of my fishing is for saltwater stuff. There's nothing like seeing your backing scream away from you when a good size fish gets on the line. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted August 1, 2003 I got a real appreciation for you saltwater guys. I went to the NC coast a while back and tried some fly fishing and it is tough! I'd love to spend a little time up in your area in search of those big 'ol stripers that I hear so much about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted August 3, 2003 Central Wis.- I fly fish smallies right across the street from my house on the Wis. River. Also many small trout streams in the central sands area of Wis, some are just a few minutes away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest cmillion Report post Posted August 7, 2003 I live on the Oregon Coast. Fish for trout in the small lakes around here and head inland a few miles to fish for Smallies on the main Umpqua(some of you might have heard about the North Umpqua, the holy of all holy water for Summer Steelhead).

Guest Report post Posted August 7, 2003 Massachusetts, right on the coast, so I've got different places I can go, when I have time. Plenty of fresh sites at my back when I'm looking at salt. I hear interesting reports about the Susquehanna from a fellow I know down that way; sounds like it's a neat fishery. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
