Who's been out fishing already this year - lets see some pics.

Got up early and went out today.

I use an orvis 3 wt rod or a browning gold series 6 wt rod. Tapered weight fwd floating fly line and 3 or 4 lbs test for a leader.

These are good for smaller bass and gills:

A whole mess of gills, when ever you're fishing poppers you'll always catch a couple of them.

Awesome, northerns are a blast on a fly rod. Biggest thing I ever hooked a fly rod was a 50" gar pike.

5.5lbs smallie from clair
2.5 large from local lake.

Been fishing about 40 times this year! Do it almost everyday after work! The rivers are amazing to fish! Lots of small mouth and trout! Also some smaller pike too! Fun fishing for sure. Its like a postcard as well. Gotta love mid/upper Michigan! About waste deep, clear, rocky bottoms and a chilly water temp. Anywho, some photos from my phone and what not....

Fishing off a bridge, I have the hat on:

Thats about it. No photos of the fish. I always forget...haha. Most are smaller and the bigger ones i dont keep. No place to cook em' or anything up here at school.

I didn't get a pic, but I caught roughly a 14" 2lb large mouth on all things a kids Barbie pole. My niece was fishing and handed me the pole right when it hit. I thought for sure it was going to break the line and/or the pole!

Large mouth I cought a month ago. hard to take a cell pic and hold the fish. Haha

Supernotch90 and I went fishing the other day...

This was caught in about an hour... Could of gotten more if we stayed out, but came back early because of the storm...

Justin - You gotta post the pic of you "fishing" the puddle. That's classic s#!t.

CJ behind the house..

My Share.

From Yesterday, thought I would share!

1st one was the 37"
2nd one was 32" + but never actially measured that one.
Was not as long as the 1st one but it was real fat.

Both caught on tip ups and were released

Also caught some Jumbo Perch and Big Crappies

Nice Matt! Where'd you go?

Small very private lake north of Attica. Was a hike, but well worth it.
What an awesome place this guy had. Totally secluded with only the one house on it of the owners.
Way tucked back in the woods, nobody around.

There are some monsters in there. Like freekishly big fish.
Some Jumbo 15" perch and 20 plus inch Crappies in there.
We caught a few really nice ones early, then they shut down for some reason.

We did not catch this one but this crappie was around 22-23"
I have that same scooper and the handle is 15"
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/a...ugecrappie.jpg

i drove up to the saginaw bay saturday and all we caught were dinks. walleye's are tight lipped right now. what a disappointing trip lol.

This fish went 11lbs on the dot on the Scale a Matthews.. Not my fish, but it was my lure. HaHa
http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/e...2/78920837.jpg

My personal best: 10.73 on a Digital Hand Held Rapala scale. Put her back to swim another day!!
http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/e...2/fd654635.jpg
http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/e...2/993334f1.jpg

This fish went 11.22 on the Rapala: It was our first big fish of the day and didn't think about taking a pic of the scale. We put her back for another day.

are they up by flat rock yet? Co worker wants to go up north to tippy dam, but i would rather stay more local.

I let my buddies go fishing at my house and they got around 10 perch all 14"-16". Got a few bass, and a bunch of walleye.
