Just a quick hello. I'm a new member from Northwest Missouri / Northern Michigan. I've spent many days on the various Ozark streams,lakes and rivers over the years and after a recent stay at Lilleys I discovered this site. Wish I would have earlier.
I grew up in Michigan about 10 minutes from the Manistee and Ausable rivers and have chased brookies,bows,browns and salmon all over with spinning gear and when nobodies looking I get out the fly rod. Every once in a while I trick a few, my goal this year is to unlearn my bad form/habits, practice my knots and get a good pair of glasses (tuff getting old)
I have a trip booked back to Lilleys end of March for a week, if you see a chubby 53 year old tied in knots with a fly or three stuck in him stop and say hello, my name is Nick.
