I moved to Michigan nearly six years ago to chase the many fish
which swim this state’s fabled waters. I was an “ordinary” fisherman back then…it was a simpler time. I would fish dry flies when I saw
feeding fish but primarily I was a nympher; and a good one at that.
Then, one fateful mid-April day, I was introduced to streamer fishing
as I now know it, and was forever changed.
The flies were large, the pace nothing short of feverish, and the takes
were savage. Trout fishing changed for me that day from a peaceful
quiet pastime to something dangerous and wild. I saw a whole new
side to a species I thought I knew everything about…and it scared me
a little.
