    Yupp congrates SH/BD you guys do have a real nice site....and yes the fact that it is more "free/open" makes it nice. Not that you have to curse to get a point across but its nice to know you dont have to re-read your post before you hit submit just so you dont offend anyone! I think i was like #77 or somethin and that was only a few weeks ago...at this rate you could see 200 before the end of the year!
  7. ahhhhhhhh.......ok....i thought that was called a JIG!
  8. THATS AWSOME I didnt even realize that the flag was painted on in the first pic for a second or two! That is VERY cool and i love seeing tributes like that to the people that gave us our rights!!!
  9. Welcome Roy...by the looks of your flies i can learn ALOT from you! Nice to have you on the site!!
  10. Now your in trouble shoe......i meant to hit reply and accidently hit report your post to the modorater..LOL Anyway i know what your sayin about the "label" thing that post on that site was really gettin to me. It looks like baldwin is gonna have rain from now till wends of next week.....sounds like a goood start for the steelie season to me!
  11. Anyone know the recipe for this fly....i know i had it in one of my mich steelhead books but cant find the book right now

  17. Welcome Todder....hmmmmmmm name sounds familiar...lol. Think i know you and your dad from another michigan site if i'm not mistaken! Glad to have you on the site. Look out guys...we michiganders are ganging up now... Steeldrifter
  18. WOW guys guess what ...i think it must have something to do with fly casting that hurts the shoulder ...because my right shoulder has a "popping/grinding" in it for about the last 3 years. If i put my left hand on my right shoulder and rotate my right arm in a circle you can feel it pop and grind ....always wondered what was cuasing that! I hope it dosent get bad enough that i'll have to have anything done to it.
  19. Well here in mich for the GL steelies i always do well on egg patterens early in the winter. Then as the winter gos on i switch over to small black stones i like a #14. Very easy to tie just use the standard goose biot split tail/a ribbed (small rib) body /and a dubbed brown thorax(picked out) with turkey case tied over it. To me that is the "go fly" for fall/winter/spring steelies here. Also try small sparrow nymphs......hairs ear...caddis pupa....wooly buggers...ezsta eggs...hex nymph. Go to the local bookstore or fly shop and pick up a book called great lakes steelhead by bob linesman&steve neveala it has patterens with pics for all GL streams. $20 and worth every penny! Steeldrifter PS>>> If i can help you any father just let me know and i'll give you my email address and we can talk.
  20. We got some pretty good winds all day long here friday in michigan. Nothing "bad" but the weatherman said it was what was left over from the storm....gusts of about40-45mph at times. You guys in ohio prob. got the same thing i would imagine. My buddy john called me saterday he lives in north carolina,i was not home when he called but he was calling to say hes fine and they had some storms from it but thats all. He lives inland quite aways!
  21. BIG D i dont know if i would say its a disabilaty or not but it would help with fly or any kinda fishing if i could use it again. Back about 10 years ago (in my early 20's) i used to frequent a local bar that had a mechanical bull ....well after a few to many one night i ended up breaking my left index finger on it. Being the hard head that i am i never went to a doc or put a splint on it so it healed with a "bend" in it and i would say i lost about 50-75% of the feeling in it. It was hard to reel or tie flies or work on cars at first but that was ten years ago and now i dont even think about it. Its still the same usless finger but i have become so used to not using it that i really wouldnt' even miss it if it was not even on my hand. I fish/tie flies/build cars/work with my hands for a living and have gotton used to it. Steeldrifter P.S since it wont really straiten out all the way it is really usfull for "shooting line"....

    Digital Camera

    Hey guys couple questions because i am also looking at dig cams myself........ Smallie the price's you quoted are for the sony that is good for the 8"x10" pics right? what did you pay for the sony you have that does the 5"x7"s? Also are dig cams as durable as 35mm. Meaning...will it survive in the pocket of a vest out on the stream or do you need to be a little more cautious with them? STEELDRIFTER

    Casting

    It just depends on where you fish .....i mean i have takin guys on streams that were very tight 15' cast's and they did good but then if i take them to the au sable in mio......50+' cast they get skunked! Just depends on where you fish and how picky the fish in the water your fishing are i guess!
