Hopefully I get into a few myself. I fish for them on ultralight gear. DNR just stocked the Clinton River with 900 brown trout a couple of weeks ago. This weekend should be great.
Im headed up north this weekend to strip streamers for browns and steelhead.
Stockers. Bleh.
I'm gonna try to get to st Clair with the other 400 boats to catch some schooling smallies
DNR has been stocking some decent sized fish, quite a few over keeper size. Check this out, you can look by county and body of water: http://www.michigandnr.com/fishstock/
I know, fish like this guy, with no fins.

I wish they'd work on improving habitat to promote natural reproduction, instead of dumping garbage stockers in there.
Had a good day Friday on my first float of the year.
First time I've ever stuck a walleye on the fly, kinda surprised because there are so many of them around. Of course, a some nice smallies as well. Nothing like the fight of a river smallie.

Nice. Didn't make it out over the weekend but last Sunday two of us caught 90 smallmouth in 5 hours
The next day 3 people in a boat caught 181 I believe. This east wind sucks. Hope it quits soon so I can get back out
