Mike from the Chicago area here. Fly fishing for trout only so far, lots in MO, on the White and Norfork Rivers around Cotter/Mountain Home AR, and in the WI Driftless around Vernon County/Viroqua. Getting a Pelican Catch 110HD so I can fish the Dowagiac and St. Joe in MI and some of the tributary creeks in IN (looking for Skamania Steelhead), and potentially may start looking at bass and pike in the DuPage and DesPlaines Rivers.

Welcome to the Stage! Sounds like you have a great plan to pursue a variety of species, and have already been having fun in several specific ones! Looking forward to you sharing some stories and photos of the adventures!

Welcome to the Forum, Mike. It sounds like you are going to be busy. I live in the Driftless area of MN. Give me a shout if you get up in this area The WI. people come over here, I wonder why that is.

I'm in Oak Park, so about as near to Chicago as you can get without being in Chicago.
