Welcome back Allen, I was wondering what happened to you, glad to hear you are still getting out and doing some fishing. Good luck, hope you caught a nice Steelhead or two.

Thank you , I actually had the chance to fish once last year .
Jobs boomed in our area and I was on seven days from April through December .
I hit Tippy Dam in Welston , Mi. , Manistee River .
I didn't get the last parking spot , I had to make the last parking spot .
It was shoulder to shoulder when I reached the river after going down Heart-attack hill , almost made it to my favorite drift spot but not quite where the fish would be .
When you're wearing waders ya' just can't pee to mark your territory , LOL !
5 hours later and half a dozen flies lost the herd thinned and I was one of them . My feet , frozen to the point it felt like I was walking on stumps .
These are my parting shots , Skunked for the day .

Wow, that is too busy IMO but it good to be employed. Glad you were able to make it out, sounds like combat fishing at it's best[] and after not getting out much last year, I'm sure it was fun. Hope your next outing you find a few more tugs on the end of your line.
