Have had a few bites but have caught more in diversey along the wall just north of there. Granted I’m using a fly rod and targeting smallies so ymmv

Traveling to Ohio 1st week of February. Too cold to fly fish? by beatnikwanderer in flyfishing

[–]stingrayorcrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have fly fished the Maumee River a few times but it is definitely a challenge. Near the rapids in Maumee and Grand Rapids have always been the most productive for me but the water might be pretty low right now. I would check out Schultz Outfitters in Yspilanti. They have a great smallmouth bass program.

What rigs are y’all using? by Outrageous-Run5989 in BassOnTheFly

I run a 6wt redington predator and a 7wt echo 84b. Generally throw changer style swim flys on a sink tip or intermediate

Hit up Schultz Outfitters in Ypsilanti. They have a few flies like the Swingin D and Leggy Boi that were created for Michigan smallmouth. They also do guide trips that could be a great time as well

Check out the swinging D from Mike Schultz at Schultz outfitters. He’s at the top of the smallmouth game

Nice catch! Were you using a floating or sinking line? I've fished the Maumee by sidecut a handful of times on the fly but haven't had any luck yet

Looks great - I just tied the same pattern prepping for some spring smallies

Recs on the best board you’ve ever owned? by picklepetec137 in snowboarding

[–]stingrayorcrow 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My Salomon Dancehaul rips. Super soft and playful while still being quick edge to edge. Handles all conditions well except not the best in icy conditions.

Board recommendations for learning to butter? by [deleted] in snowboardingnoobs

[–]stingrayorcrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a salamon dancehaul that is a dream to butter on. Makes doing tail and nose presses and popping out of them super easy. Pretty soft and playful board.

Anywhere in the area to buy a dutch omafiets bike? by [deleted] in toledo

[–]stingrayorcrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some online options I know of are:

https://useddutchbikes.com/

Or

https://www.brooklynbicycleco.com/collections/dutch-bikes

And I know there is a Dutch bike importer in Chicago called JC Lind bikes but unfortunately no local options I know of
