this is hillarious. made me laugh the whole time i read. correct me if im wrong but isnt the reason they put rainbows in around here is to catch them?

Posting for a friend that is being a good Samaritan: “Found – ice fishing shelter up the Dorion Cutoff. If you lost a shelter while ice fishing this winter, text 620-7958 with a description and arrangements will be made to get it back to you.”

Grabbed a few fish last night. Heavy run didn't start until after 1230.

Okay!! With all this talk about Steelhead fishing I just have to come up there and see for myself just what is going on. I'm already packed up to go and will leave here early in the morning. I'll spend the night in Grand Marais and then drive in the rest of the way in the next morning. Thursday. I have my waders and fly gear all packed along with my cameras for taking pictures to post on here when I get back. See you all on the water! Not bad for a Chicago boy to know which streams to fish!! Bernie P.S. I only catch and release.

Agreed. I have nothing at all against spinning gear. Its what I grew up on and still regularly use my spinning gear. I felt that I wanted to get into Fly-Fishing for the challenge and satisfaction that comes with it. It really is am amazing feeling when you catch a fish on the surface on a dry fly that you tied yourself the night before, even if the fish is only 10 inches lol. Also, its not just successful in dry flies and fish rising to the surface, streamers catch big fish, and I find the hair/fur/feathers usually better imitate prey better than plastic. But....I have caught all the biggest fish I have ever caught on Raps, or Spoons. I usually always have my spinning gear with me when Im fly fishing because sometimes situations call for it. I am in no way an elitist, I just wanted to try a new form of fishing, its challenging, its fun, its relaxing and opens you up to a whole new aspect of fish biology and behaviour.
