Now theres an American!

Well i'm pretty lucky to be in michigan...we have river browns that push 30" lake browns that go over 20# salmon the get up to 40# steelhead that go into the 20#class small mouth all over that go over the 20" mark and many others. Theres a huge percentage of the worlds fresh water right here and over 36.000 miles of streams. BUT for some reason no matter where you live you always want to go somewhere else....sooooooooooo......

I am with smalliehunter on the montana trip,i would love to take a week and hike into the mountians by myself with nothing but a backpack and my fly rod! That would be a great trip but the only thing is if i ever do go out there i probaly wont want to come back

LBG i hear ya...its amazing how fast some people can just forget about things like this.

Leaky waders i'm glad to hear that you fly the flag,i just cant help but wonder what all these people around here did with the flags after the freshness of 9/11 wore off. The local bussinesses sold out within a few days and these people that live around here have to have the flags so where are they?

Oh well guess the best thing to do is to just fly mine with pride everyday and hope others will follow.

Yesterday was september 11th as i'm sure you all know. I got up before going to work and the VERY first thing i did was get my american flag and put it out to fly high on this 2nd anniversary of the attacks. After i got off work i was sittin outside having a smoke and it dawned on me.....my flag was the ONLY one out on my whole street. There are about 50 or so homes on this street and all these SOB's that live here and enjoy the freedoms didnt even care/think about showing the pride.....WHAT THE HELLS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE? Is it just this street or did anyone else see very many flags flown yesterday?

Really kinda pissed me off...it doesn't take 30 seconds to show a little respect and put ol'glory out on certian days!

Hello calvin....i been on here about a week,my names steve. I'm in michigan and been fly fishing/tying about 14-15 years. Mostly trout/salmon/steelhead we have some very good rivers for them over here...Au Sable/Pere Marqutte/Manisttee/Muskegon. Cool site with some good guys...nice to know ya!

Yupp i have to agree big daddy....i have only been on this site about a week and i already feel right at home! I'm a part of another site and havent "left" but i now spend equal time on both sites. This site is cool because i feel i can just say something and not have to feel like it's being scrutinized by the moderaters to see if they agree with what i write. And i really like having someone in the bussiness(Jim) on here to answer any questions i might have,dont know if that was your idea or not but whos ever that was it was a good one!

If any of you guys ever find yourself in michigan and want to tangle with a 30#salmon on a fly rod in a shallow river let me know...i'd be happy to show ya around our rivers!

WOW jim.....if she fly fishes i think i'm in love!

Totally with you guys on this one. Couldn't agree more!!!

Jim you tell us your daughter is gorgeous and then you show us a pic of YOU.....

What are ya talkin about luvinbluegills....we all fish for crappies!

Man i didnt know it when i joined but i guess i fit right in on this site guys.......i'm 6'6" & 285#'s..........we should start a football team and play against other sites members!

LOL......the reason for the hilary joke was someone on another site that i am a part of posted a link to a animated skit with hilary dancing around in a bikini ..it had her real face on a cartoon body with cellulite and everything ...............i cant get that out of my head...i think i'm scared for life......

Aww come on guys you know she's smokin....

Alright that one was a joke....but the first 3 i mentioned are still pretty damn good lookin for their age

Bigdaddy i know exactly what you mean...and you should see the way some of the beautiful rivers here in michigan are treated by some people.

I do the same thing when i fish....i will fish up stream and then pick up the trash i saw on the way back. In july i rolled a manhole cover about a 1/8 mile down a trail to the parking lot at an access. It was in the river can you tell me how or why a manhole cover got in a river because i dont know.

Steelheader69 i think you are 100% correct it is the way you were raised....i was raised to respect the outdoors and i always make sure to keep my junk in my vest. I even put my cigarette butts in my vest pocket after i put them out. Some people are just plain slobs and dont give a damn and then there are the people that just think ...well someone else will pick it up.

The best way to combat the junk on the rivers is to help on river clean up days......and to raise your kids with respect for the outdoors!

Good post guys

OSD...to much time fishing?...is that poss. to do?.....

Next your gonna say hillary clinton's not a hottie..........

OK that one is bad i need

She my be 64 but ............look at raqel welch,jacalin smith and barbra eden they are not exactly spring chickens and i would.........well,you get the drift

Hey OSD hows it going......nope i havent even heard of that one,got some decent fly fishing scenes?

My Renzeti vice came with one and i had never used one till i got that vise,never thought i needed to have one. Now i dont think i could do a fly without one....it just makes things alot easier with it.

River Wild with kevin bacon has about a 30 sec. scene.

A movie with alan alda as some bigwig of a company that takes his partners for a river rafting trip i think had a scene.

SmallieHunter you should do well on the PM the fish are in the system all the way to the fly only water. It sounds like its getting better with each passing day,i'm hittin the PM this weekend myself and each weekend after this for at least the next month. Good luck to ya!

Just found the site and wanted to say hi,looks like this is a very good tying site and glad to be a part of it. I have been tying for the past 7-8 years but know that i do some things the wrong way so i look forward to getting some advice and tips. I live in michigan and fish/tie for trout/salmon/steelhead.
