Fishing the Ditch on the Nov 10th - CANCELED

[TroutKing]

Hi Fellow Fly Fishers,
JCPilot and I are going to fish the ditch by Bass Pro Shop in Portabe this Saturday. We invite anyone who would like to join us to meet us before dawn (between 6:30-7:00) at the public access on Ameriplex Drive just before the road bends to the right. John and I usually walk down to the bend and follow the dirt road to the ditch waters.

Here is a link to a Google Map. View it in Satellite mode and follow Ameriplex Drive to see the public access parking lot.

Hope to see some members there.

Bring 7-8 wt rod, waders, boots with spikes, wading staff, and 25' rope. John says "An egg pattern, green caddis or a black stonefly with lots of lead on your leader to get it down. Fish it in a dead drift under an indicator and set the hook at any bump."

Okay - ADD strikes again...that is Portage, not Portabe!

Come on Doc you know the difference between a Freudian slip and ADD (man and you get paid for this s@#t!)

[TroutKing]

Yeah, but I don't get paid S%#&, and that is the problem - otherwise, I could afford some therapy for this fishing addiction I have!

Sorry, Gents, but we won't be making it to the Ditch this weekend. The weather has prompted us to make the trip to Niles to float the tricky and sometimes treacherous Dowagiac. The Ditch will have to wait until the planned December 8th outing.
