Great site and getting lots of info. I used to fish avidly in England nearly 40 years ago now. I used to say I have no time but now I am finding it and have got the bug (or should I say lure)? back.I have an old rod and a Mitchell 300 reel. I will be updating but not sure what I will even fish for? I live right next to the Grand so have to take advantage if it.

Welcome. Carp are abundant in the Grand river and very strong fighters. You will have a blast.

Mitchell 300, then 310, then 410. Great reels all, wish I still had them. I took them apart every year and greased them and got them ready for the new season. Then a vengeful 'ex ended up with them, she didn't even fish. Biatch.
I'm an "old fart too." The Grand is my home river tho, let me know where you are, PM if you like. I can let you know when I am headed out that way. I never get skunked.

So here i was this morning with my crappy made in Korea rod and the mitchell 300 reel fishing on the Grand not knowing what I was doing but geez I must say getting out hanging around on the river back how can it get better? There were at least half a dozen fly fishing guys really having fun so I had to do it------- buying a fly rod and reel? 8.6 Algonquin-Al Daiwa with a reel. OK it was cheap and sounds like a good starter? Stay tuned.
