Michigan has a complicated trout season as far as regulations go .
Boat with motor , boat with no motor , no boat , fly only , lure only, bait allowed , Not allowed lures or hook sizes in your possession , ect,ect,ect .
Some spots on a stream you can go through 4 different stream types within 500 yards .
I fish the year round open waters that connect off the great lakes to keep myself safe .
The glow-in-the dark materials, paints and glue , found some while Christmas shopping for the Mrs. at a fabric store . I paint yarn, thread , hair and feathers , let them dry and then tie them up . Glow in the dark sticks for a hot glue gun make the eggs for spawn sacks during salmon season .
Found some other glow-in-the-dark fly tying materials on line .
I bought one Glow-in-the-dark fly last fall ($3.25 ) , after fishing quite awhile without one bump I decided to give it a try , the results were instant on the first cast and just about every other cast after that . That's why I decided to make the Glow-in-the-darks for those times when nothing else is working .
I live in the center of the Mitt in Michigan , 1 hour 45 minutes drive to either side of the State to fish , 3 hours to the top or bottom of the State to fish . Having the right fly is a necessity when the fish are calling me .
My next step is making streamers .
