Just a quick hello from michigan

[quietman41 0]

Just a quick hello from Michigan. I have been fly fishing and tying for over 20 years, with some major breaks in time do do that evil time thief a high demanding job. After retiring from the military last year I have gotten back into thins at a slow pace. I fish the westside of the state, but will go anywhere to wet a line and maybe a whistle.

Hello John!

 

Welcome to the forum from the east side of the state.

Thanks all,

 

I have the advantage of living on the eastside (Roseville) and fishing on the westside, the eastside or whereever my truck points me. I spent alot of years in the state traveling when I was going from one college to another acting like I was working,but instead I was searching and fishing. I was considered in my office as a human GPS. I could tell anybody where to go, how to get there, and where the best bar burger or pizza was in the state, but I wouldn't share my fishing spots unless I was with them. Well its time to go to work or at least sit at my desk and act like I care, its friday. Tight lines.
