Tips on catching “Lake Michigan monsters” at our January 10 meeting
Few things get anglers fired up like a big brown trout, and there’s no bigger brown trout than those in Lake Michigan … not too far away!
Join pro-kayak angler and land based fishing guide Israel Dunn for a talk that showcases the best of this world-class fishery.
Israel will share the history of salmonids in the Great Lakes, how to find them, and the insider techniques needed to catch them from the shoreline.
If you’ve ever been curious about what it takes to catch a giant brown trout, this presentation is for you!
As usual, the meeting is upstairs at the Coliseum Bar and Grill on East Olin Avenue at 7 p.m. but please join us earlier for dinner and a few stories.

Fly Tying: Parachute Dun

You probably don’t think of Leonardo da Vinci as a fly angler, but he invented a truly great fly design in 1483. Long before Leonardo painted the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, he invented the parachute. Not the parachute dry fly, but the real parachute, a wood and canvas contraption with which you could jump from high places and land safely. Over four centuries later, his invention gave its name to the parachute dry fly, a modern masterpiece. You must visit Paris, France to see the Mona Lisa or Milan, Italy for The Last Supper, but you’ll find Leonardo’s parachutes – and lots of them – in any fly shop. Admire their beauty, for they are simple works of art. Read More
