			<title>Michigan Spring Steelhead Fishing</title>
			<description>Hello everyone,&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; This is actually my first post and I am a new life member (just got my personalized rod today!)&amp;nbsp; Anyways, I live in southcentral Michigan (Hillsdale County) and would really like to try steelhead fishing in the rivers this spring (the St. Joe is closest), but I have never done it before, so I was just wondering if there is anyone out there who has experience in this area and would be willing to show me the ropes.&amp;nbsp; I do lots of other fishing, but have never caught a steelhead and I would like to!&amp;nbsp; Also, I am a teacher, so I&#39;m on spring break starting tomorrow, April 4th, through April 13th, so if anyone can go this week, that would be great!!!&amp;nbsp; Thanks in advance and good fishing to everyone!&amp;nbsp; Quinn&lt;br&gt;</description>

			<title>Fishing Insturctor Workshop</title>
			<description>&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;I have contacted the DNR with a request that they hold a Workshop that certifies Anglers to instruct others to fish. I tried to get into the one in Stevens Point but they were full.&amp;nbsp;This certification gives you access to information and equipment to&amp;nbsp;properly instruct&amp;nbsp;the new&amp;nbsp;anglers. I have not yet approached anyone for a place to hold&amp;nbsp;it, but I was thinking the&amp;nbsp;Sparta/Tomah area. There is a refundable 15.00 fee to ensure that you show if you register. Please let me know if you would be interested in the Workshop, and what day would be good for you. It is a one day event. Just need to know if we have interest in this. We are currently planning on a March workshop. Those that are interested please PM me with your name and where you live. Also if you have a prefered time (ie Month) that you would like to attend it will be considered but will not be the primary factor in determining time. If there is enough interest we may schedule more&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;This is also posted in the Wisconsin Forum.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;You can find more info at&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;. &lt;A href=&quot;http://dnr.wi.gov/fish/kidsparents/anglereducation/workshops.html&quot;&gt;http://dnr.wi.gov/fish/kidsparents/anglereducation/workshops.html&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://dnr.wi.gov/fish/kidsparents/anglereducation/instructor.html&quot;&gt;http://dnr.wi.gov/fish/kidsparents/anglereducation/instructor.html&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jim

			<title>Taking a Kid fishing</title>
			<description>&lt;P&gt;I&#39;m looking for some help. I&#39;m wanting to take my oldest son (age&amp;nbsp;13) and possibly my youngest (age10) fishing. They live in Texas and I live in Iowa. I would like to take them fishing for something different that what they can catch back home. It would have to be&amp;nbsp;in June or July since that is the only time we are together. My oldest loves to fish but he is at that age when all he dreams about is catching them big ol&#39; fish.&amp;nbsp;He tore his ACL this past football season and the Dr. suggests we wait until he is at least 15 to have the surgery because he has so much growing to do. Anyway&amp;nbsp;we have noticed that his attitude has changed alot since getting this information. He loves football and not being able to play seems to have sucked some of the life out of him. I would love to take him on a trip for some big pike,&amp;nbsp;walleye or something&amp;nbsp;that he doesn&#39;t catch back home. The problem with taking him on&amp;nbsp;a guided trip is pure financial. Whether I fly them here or drive down and get them it just&amp;nbsp;limits me financially. I know there are alot of opportunities around this area I just don&#39;t have the experience fishing for these species. Back home it was bass and catfish all the time. If the opportunity comes up I would also like to take my youngest with. He&#39;s not much into fishing unless we are catching alot&amp;nbsp;of fish. In taking him with would be hopes of getting him more interested in fishing and hopefully get my oldest something to look forward to and hopefully pick his spirits up. I could go on forever but I&#39;ll shorten this up. &lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;I&#39;ve been I life member since 1994 and was on the site alot before it changed. Hunting season came along and that is what I&#39;ve been geared torwards. Hunting is pretty much over except for the spring turkey season then it&#39;s all fish. God&amp;nbsp; willing I know there is someone out there that can help me with this situation. If not God smarter than me and he knows what&#39;s best.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;I live in Mechanicsville, Iowa. It&#39;s about 30 miles east of Cedar Rapids. Thanks for your time and any help. &lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;Good fishing and God bless.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;John&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
