My first steelhead, a nice 12 lb. male, from Stony Creek. Long,
long ago. |

My favorite fishin' buddy, son Ryan, with a nice Houghton Lake
crappie. He catches more than his share of fish, talking trash
all the while. Pro's beware. |

This one caused a bit of "discussion" at our house. HER:
"There is no %&#@% way you're pasting my picture all over
the &#@!&% internet!" ME: "But honey, I
think you should be proud of your pair of 3 pound smallies." HER:
"There is no %$#&@! way........". This is our
compromise. Hope you like it at least as much as she does. |

Finally!!! This 14", 1.5 lb. perch was tops in the perch
category at the 2003 Tip Up Town. On display at Lyman's. |
Leroy's Tip
Like take out pizza? Save those boxes! Pizza boxes make the best fish
cleaning platforms that I know of. Much easier than cleaning on
newspaper, and they don't easily leak through, making clean up a snap.
Leroy's Tip #2
To use ESB with high tech lines (which are usually very limp), use a
foot long piece of our old friend scrap mono with a loop knot tied in
one end. Thread the free end through the bobber, leaving the loop
above the stop bead. Thread a foot of high tech through the loop and
use the looped mono to pull it through the bobber.
