Pere Marquette

[shazerblaze]

I just got home from the Pere Marquette, up in Michigan. I went up for my first Steelhead trip, and got quite an education. It will be sufficient to say that the steelhead won this round, but I loved it all. My brother and I went 3 for 12 or 14 (or so). I hooked up with a nice brown and landed the prettiest rainbow I have ever caught -- huge red stripe and RED gill plates and a huge jaw. It was a true beauty. Maybe I can post it on the pics page. It wasn't the largest rainbow, but it was a true beauty. Anyway, if you ever want to see another beautiful river, the Pere Marquette is BEAUTIFUL.

Glad you had A good time in my homestate,we used to camp up there when I was a kid.Wish I knew how to flyfish back then.
If you get a chance get there in the fall for the salmon run you'll really have a blast.
ShazerBlaze hows those Missourians treatin ya,when I was there and mentioned flyfishing they would just look at me kinda crosseyed and go on talkin about all them drumperch.Iwas waitin fer the dueling banjos to start playing.

Yep, it is wonderful place -- the Pere Marquette, anyway. Missouri treats me okay, but most of the state is a little backwards. Something you just have to deal with. However, there is some great trout and smallmouth fishing in the Ozarks. Good stuff.
