Thank you! I'm only staying thru Wednesday. The kids are in school and I'm leaving Steve to take care of them. If he finds a job by then I'm going to have to fall to the good graces of my neighbors to get my son on the school bus. :0) I have to go visit Grandma though. I wasn't sure if Memorial day weekend would work in my favor or against it as far as getting to meet you and John. Can I buy a license to fish one day there or would I be better off just visiting the fly shops? I'll probably stay at my Aunts in Mesick and travel daily to Traverse since Grandma will have a full house? We could always meet at the Fly Shop in Traverse and go for coffee on Monday (Memorial Day) or Tuesday? I really would love to fish but it may be easier to get my cousin to take me spin fishing so I don't have to carry all my gear for one day.

Are you planning to fish? You can go just south of there and fish the Manistee (Tippy Dam is great) or the famed Pere Marquette. If you go to the Pere Marquette, stop in Baldwin. Two shops there, both on 37 - Johnson's Lodge (Orvis, so-so http://www.pmlodge.com/), and Baldwin Bait-and-Tackle (http://www.fishbaldwin.com/). The guys at BBT take care of the bait crowd and cater well to us fly people. The heart of the flies only section is right there. In Traverse: http://www.thenorthernangler.com/ Let me know your plans...I'll be south of there at a wedding that weekend in Grand Rapids, but may come up to fish ... -- Ed Roden flyfished at gmail dot com - OR - flyfished at questquality dot com On Fri, 18 Mar 2005 17:32:01 -0500, Deborah Duran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Michigan VFB'ers...
