Apologies for the lack of posting activity.  Myself, my family, and the shop employees are all hyper focused on the Lake Michigan trip coming up this weekend.  Hopefully this time the weather will hold (it has been super windy on the Michigan side) and water temps climb a bit so we do not relive the last Lake Michigan trip.  (For those who do not remember I saw 3 fish total in 2 days of poling the flats)
  Rod List:  Scott Backcountry Special
                 Echo2 9'6wt Saltwater
                Echo Trip 8wt

Reel List:  Lamson Konic for all rods

Flies:  Beach Ball, Mr. P's Carp carrot John Montana version, Roughfishers SJW armored car, The unnamed ugly bug I tied in the shop while bored last month.

Packed my Patagonia sun mask (I thought these things were the dorkiest things in the world until I tried on on Lake Michigan a month ago.  Cool and comfy!), my flats shoes (as well as my converse all stars, the less fancy flats shoes) and have pleaded with the fish gods to give us at least one good day of fishing! 

Hopefully we will have a boatload of pictures to share this time.
Wish us luck!
