Is it Spring Yet?

This is a picture of a heron, taken on the AuSable River, during the 2007 FAOL Michigan Fish In, near Grayling, MI.














Spring must soon be here, despite what the weather is doing, because this Saturday is the Flyfishing Expo in Warren, MI. This is always the first event of the year, and is a good way to relieve cabin fever!

Bill, my DH, and I are the chairs for this year's FAOL (Fly Anglers Online) Michigan Fish In which will be held June 30-July 5 at Gates AuSable Lodge, in Grayling, Michigan. We will be holding a committee meeting at the Expo on Saturday. FAOL is an international group and getting a committee together is difficult, so we do it either at Cabela's or at shows, just to sweeten the pot.

This year we plan to sell T-shirts to commemorate the event and any profit from the sales will be given to a fishing charity. There will be casting contests and a nice picnic for the attendees on July 4th. The rest of the week will be taken up with lots of fishing, visiting, fishing, and telling fish tales.
