Jonn Graham Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 This Saturday we will be hosting our annual isa fishing outing/picnic. The event will take place on the Mackinaw River. If you wish to fish, meet at Busy Corner's restaurant by 6:30 AM. The Mack is very low right now and is ideal for wading. Canoeing is a little difficult but, doable. After fishing concludes around 1:00 PM, we will head to Harold Hohulin's house in Goodfield for our picnic/cookout. If you are coming to the cookout, you will need to provide your own meat for the grill and your own drinks (no alcohol please). HOpe to see many of your there!!!!!

Fredmo Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I plan to be there. Is anyone going to try to float? I would be anxious to try it only if someone was available who can help with the shuttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredmo Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Jonn and Dave- Are you guys bringing fly rods? What flies would you think would be good with the river so low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Burt Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I will try to make it. Would love to meat others from ISA and learn a little bit about the Mackinaw. Probably won't be able to attend picnic as I have to do list to finish on Sat pm. We are going to Florida on Sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonn Graham Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Fred: I don't know right now if I will canoe. But I would be more than happy to shuttle your vehicle for you so you can canoe. When it comes to flys, I have been having success of late with the Murdich Minnow.

Gary Burt Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Guys, since I am new to the ISA, I have a few questions. Are we meeting in the parking lot of Busy Corner or are you eating breakfast there? Not quite sure what/who to look for. I will be driving tan camry and will be the 6'5 275 largish man.
