Warren, from the strictly amateur perspective up here in MI, fishing is just
crap right now. Not much to report at all. We have mix of rain and snow
this morning, 40 degrees and winds predicted at gusts of 50 mph for later
today. In the past three weeks, I have thrown just about everything I own
into the water and have caught almost nothing.

I hear the steelheads are running very nice on the westerm MI rivers, but I
don't have enough confidence in my awful flyfishing abilites to go after
them. I am thinking about going to fly school next spring so I can take
advantage of these opportunities when the bass are down for the count.

Outside of the obvious Orvis shools, any advice or recommendations on fly
fishing instruction in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Meanwhile, I am hoping for a cold winter with thick ice so I can be
productive again.

Frankly Stevo, it's very tough to get motivated to sit down & type for an
hour when I see about 5 posts a week here lately. I sat down to type my
story, but when I saw how unactive this group has been lately I decided my
time was better spent on other things. Heck, it's not even winter most
places yet, it would be nice to see some signs of life & some pertinent
content on rofb.
