jaw. This is a good place to hook a
trout on a small fly because once
the bait is embedded in the gristle of
the corner of the jaw, it will not come
out easily. If you are hooking most
of your fish in the front of the mouth,
you are striking too quickly and may
miss a lot of fish.
Mil/igan Creek also has lots of
willows that hang out over the water.
The trout love to get back under
these to feed. Sometimes the only
way to get a fly back under these
willows is to use a long leader and
float it down to the fish. I have
played cat and mouse with a smart
brown under the willows for hours
before catching him or giving up.
If you go upstream far enough,
the water comes out of a cave in the
hillside. Before I got the shakes from
run-ins with rattlesnakes and cop-
perheads,'l used to crawl back be-
tween the rocks of the cave to drop
a nightcrawler into the deep pool
behind the rocks. I caught a few but
most of the fish came from right at
the mouth of the cave. When the
water was up, some big ones would
come out, but I was never able to
catch any of them.
Those were some good times
when life seemed simpler. I hope to
try that again th}s spring. I will take
my fly rod to work with me and try to
explain that the traffic is the reason I
need a two-hour lunch break.

each other on,"

Valley was first with 75.60. His
teammate, Mark Rowland, was sec-
ond. Chad Bogert of Snowshoe was
third.
For Division I1 (15-16 years), sev-
eral disqualifications narrowed the

"The Snowshoe team is looking
forward to other races Jnt he tri-state
area during the season, particularly
qualifier races for the derbys held in
February," continued Mr Wellman.
"These races determine eligibility for
the hotly contended Junior Olympic
berths, and many of our racers are
in the running!"
