Novi, MI Posts: 2608 | I had a really hectic May and haven't been able to post here, so I'm making up for lost time...Poor you! :) I have to get speakers for the MFFC meetings and the banquet we have in May. I was lucky enough to talk Craig Mathews from Blue Ribbon Flies fame...and the Sparkle Dun, and the X-Caddis, etc...to speak at our banquet. He grew up here in Michigan and has a couple Master's degrees from MSU in Lansing. He stayed here with my wife and I and she made a lasagna dinner the night before the banquet evening and we had a great time sitting around the dinner table listening to his fishing stories. Actually, his stories of his time as the chief of police in West Yellowstone need to be put in a book. They are hilarious! He could be our next Voelker and "Trout Madness"...I won't ruin his stories, if they do make it to print, but the night he met Jack Gartside, now that story for sure needs to be written down...I laughed my ass off! Anyway...It was great to have him here. He did a tying class for about 25 of us and then did a talk at our banquet on some of the less visited fishing spots in Yellowstone Park...Great pictures.
