nominate it as our rallying point... but, if asadi is driving the lounge
with wheels, well... i know he'd love marquette too.

and Bill hitch a ride or hop a freight or something to Dayton. They hook up
with John, hook up the trailer and drive to whereveringod'snamewayneisnow,
shanghai his ass and head north. You and Joel and me START north, cross the
Big Mac, head south and follow the fumes. We all meet somewhere wet.


Does this make me a middle-poster?


Looks like it from here.

who, having the last word (well, thus far anyway) would appear to be the
bottom poster.
p.s no good reason i can see not to stop and wet a line en route.

as you know, i much prefer the "less traveled" spots far from the
madding crowds. i'm sure the au sable is magnificent, but if it's like
all the other "famous" waters i've seen, i'll pass. i really liked
those u.p. venues and streams, and it seemed like the critter ratio was
just right up there. that's my vote anyway... but, i'm open-minded and
tolerant. oh yeah, september would be the month for me. may is penns,
july out west, september is open, october is graham county. can't change
the rhythm of the woild... so much for the advice, but i look forward to
meeting jay one of these days.

this coming season. If I was in the business of giving advice, and you of
taking it, I'd suggest we get together on the notion of exploring this
possibility. The Au Sable, so I'm told, is big enough to float a Baker AND
it holds trout!

Wolfgang and I have spoken in the past about a late summer/early fall Yooper
experience. Is three a consensus? I'd join you, despite your slander of my
fair city. :-)

And for what it is worth, I've had the Au Sable to myself both times I've
fished it. Neither were during the "best" season (one was late July, the
other late August). The Mason Tract especially reminded me quite a bit of a
U.P. stream. Very nice brookie fishing. On the river, I saw no other
anglers and only one or two kayak/canoe groups float by.

That said, you wouldn't have to twist my arm very hard to get me to join a
congregation in Iron/Schoolcraft/Baraga/Ontonagan/Gogebic counties for some
streamside laying on of hands.

The dates are roughly set for the week after father's day. To refresh
memories, there are two groups that meet in Grayling every year and
join up for dinner on the Saturday after daddy's day.

However this particular mini-clave revolved around a possible and
promised visit in the UP at a certain dead lawyer's pond. So you would
in effect get both. A chance to toss hummingbird sized flies to large
brown trout in nothern lower michigan, and a possible chance to toss
adams and sulfures at brookies in a pond of literature. And if you
stuck around, a chance to fellowship with a hundred folks who would
consider you a life long friend and do something good for the rivers in
northern michigan.

That's because he didn't know well enough to call me for an airport rescue
(if I'm recalling ofitons' Cleveland experience correctly, that is).

if it's on, i'm flying to marquette. i like that place. i

I don't know Marquette, having merely driven through it, but there sure is
some nice water in pretty much every direction. And I know it's only about
an hour and a half more to go to my usual stomping grounds when I hit the
city limits. :-)

I *do* know that several aunts and uncles have lived there, and that a
certain barrister-turned-author lived there, and that's just about good
enough for me.

BTW, picked up a new set of fly tying tools yesterday
Wayne

Mazel Tov!

I've watched this thread spiral through several layers of vitriol and
nonsense. It's over, My candidate lost, someone else's one. To be honest,
I didn't, and don't, care for either of them that much. They are both
children of privilege who want me to believe that they care about someone in
my income bracket as much as they care about their next golf game.

I have no desire for endless recounts, lawsuits, or pointless demonstrations
for the sake of demonstrating. What I want to see is a field of viable
candidates who will run on the issues and concerns that matter to the middle
class, not the splinter groups, the illegal alien pressure groups, and the
corporate sponsors that paid for this last cluster**** of an election.

While I have seen many openings to jump in and attack someone or their
position, I'd sooner spend the time reading, tying flies, and scratching my
ass when it itches; or taking advantage of the semi-tropical climate of my
home and actually go fishing if the weather, tides, and my pain levels
allow.

OBROFF: To that end, I have purchased a ULA Force 2X LT reel and a TFO
TiCr-X 6 wt rod to use and enjoy. I hope to travel into New England this
summer and introduce them to trout or even land-locked salmon if opportunity
allows.

It's code, and if you don't have a ring you can't decode his message.

You do have a ring, RIGHT?

It's a literacy test. Take your time. Be sure to check your answer before
submitting it.

Wolfgang
well, this should be fun.
