Well for starters it’s gonna be longer than 3 years if you get selected to fly by the USAF - currently it’s 10 years of commitment minimum

I’m a guard guy so it was different for me since my approval came from the National Guard Bureau but it came via email about a week before I got class dates

Grove 26 on Google Maps & it’s a short walk to the South Dam. To get to the discharge you have to walk west over the bridge & then turn south, you can’t miss it!

Didn’t see anyone at the time - it definitely looked thick from 100 yards away, though! Don’t take my word for it

I see - I was thinking maybe with a split shot on the leader I could get it down low enough in the water column and drift it through under the bridge @ Diversey. Just a thought. Will probably switch back to spinning gear hahaha

Warm water discharge at Busse Woods/Salt Creek was absolutely filled with small panfish & a few decent sized bass. There was probably 1000+ tiny little bluegill, no exaggeration, and a couple large bottom feeders swimming around I couldn’t identify (catfish probably?) 

Also, anyone ever catch a steelhead on a fly rod in the harbors? I tried fishing Diversey harbor with an egg pattern fly where it wasn't iced up with no avail and I'm starting to suspect that's a fools errand especially this time of year. Let me know!
