More cowbell?  Mac - we're on the same wavelength. I love ALL fishing but fly is my favourite Alan - I envy you, Man! Its my 50th birthday on Thursday. Can't think of anything I would enjoy more! Still, my family are coming... My Mother arrives tomorrow - classic Viennese tea followed later by a lobster dinner specially prepared at my favourite restaurant in town (it is actually my girlfriend / sponsor's birthday too). On Thursday, my brother and sister-in-law arrive and I will meet them at the airport in a black stretch limo complete with dark-suited and sunglassed chauffeur and a bottle of champagne! I am not supposed to know that any of them are coming so it will be a double-blindside surprise for them as well. Then we are having a wonderful Asian dinner for 8 at a fancy restaurant in the city. On Friday, my brother and sister-in-law go back to England again and I am entertaining musically at my local street festival (DJ and Karaoke) in the afternoon. In the evening, there will be a great jam in the street!

I've never gone fishing for flys. What do you use for bait.
If you want to talk serious beer drinking, I mean fishing , that's fishing at night for smelt in the middle of the winter in a little tent set up on the river.

Everyone knows what attracts flies..
Ahh, smelt fishing, another clue on Silvertones location.
All around the great lakes waterways it is a past time that starts in the fall.
Upper east coast is more toward winter.
What makes this different than fly fishing? No bait and more beer needed!

If anyone wants to take a look at some of my recent catches from 11 Mile Canyon in Colorado......   First time I went fly fishing with proper gear and at a place where there was actually fish. Very enjoyable.

Sam,
I'm told it's a brown trout. However, the spots don't look big enough to me. What looks poisonous about it?

Well, I guess those rings on the body are shadows from the net but it looks bottle-nosed? I know brownies - catch them all the time in England, on the fly

Nice, Scott! Wish I was there to enjoy the fun. It is a brown trout. You know that already, being a Michigander - plenty in the Au Sable and Rifle. Although they look a little thinner out there ... must be less bugs to feed on! <grin> Sample Au Sable brown for comparison -(found with quick search)  I remember as a kid finding Browns stranded in small pools after heavy rains along the Au Sable River

Oh there are bigger browns in this river - but they are too smart for your beginner fisherman.
The other thing that's nice about fly fishing in CO - almost no trees overhanging the river to get snagged in for the novice casting technique!

That looks like good eatin', Rharv.
Bread crumbs, a sprinklin' o' sliced almonds, in the pan with the butter, crack a good bottle of pink or white...
I used to rattle a grey or brown "fuzzball" down tree trunks and onto the water surface rather noisily.
Often found a large 'un relating to the tree cover and awaiting an errant mouse or chipmunk to fall into the water like that.
This trick works with fly rod or when lure casting, as well. Works on big trout or bass, too.
Plack-Rattle-Plop!
BAM!
Have Fun,
--Mac

Must need a new forum about fishin'. Talk about hi-jack. Reminds me to video tape a thing for the kids about fishing exploits when I was North of Superior, or north of Noranda. It's dawn and I should be out with the bow getting a deer but I need to scrape the windshield, and the sun is really red between the clouds in the east so I'll just polish my horns.
On second thought how about the sturgeon we caught at the mill pond just near the Smooth Rock Falls paper mill. Had to put the tailgate down on my f100 so it would fit in the back. Took 3 hours to get it to the boat then you shoot it with a 22 rifle. I once saw about 10,000 of them south of Val D'or at a dam, the Indians were spearing them.

I love this new forum rule . . . Man Must Fish!
Kidding aside, me and the wife just returned form our little camp at Delacroix Island. We fished between the thunder storms for the last few days and had a great time. If I can remember how to post a photo I'll show you a sample of the Red's and Specks we caught.
Later,

Just to be clear, that's not me with that fish, but they are commonly that size along the Au Sable.
It is a top rated stream, one of the few in Michigan. I believe its one of the top 5 in US for natural streams. Much of it's length is thru national forest, of which Michigan has plenty.
The browns from the big lakes are a much different fish - bigger by far and most often caught on worms! Sam, if that looks big to you, I'll have to find a lake lunker picture for you. The Great Lakes are huge, many people have no idea just how large they are.

Our smelt fishing is on the incoming tides up in the rivers were the water is actually brackish. Salt water smelts. I never got used to the taste of fresh water or warm sea water fish. I'm from Maine. Now living in NC.
The cold water species are what I like.
Lobsta', clams, mussels, shrimp, scallops, cod, haddock. God I'm dying for some of that.

I thought you fished for smelt with a quarter stick of dynamite.

I used to blow up beaver dams as part of working for American Can, now James River Paper. Used 3 sticks. Had to stop them from washing out the road. You could always buy some nice trout from me. A buck or two each. i Lots of Americans came up and camped on our 400 miles of private roads. I was the Fire Marshal and in charge of explosives. On weekends I'd pretend I though Michigan was in Europe and sell them fish and take pictures of them. Hilarious. Played the northern hillbilly type. Now that I'm old I often wish I'd stayed there. I could get them to leave and go elsewhere by telling tall tales of bessie the mean bear who ripped tents for fun. She broke into campers too.
I liked funnin' them about 'merican beer. This would be in the early 70's. I'd spit it out and get them 'real' beer from my pickup truck painted red and and the cherry on top. Usually Brasd'or. 7 percent. Get 'em good and drunk.
Oh well, just back from Brass Band practice and lost the high A 1/2 way through. Better get back at scales and breathing.....tomorrow.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
