Autumn is like Christmas morning if you like to catch trout and salmon on the fly. I made a trip up to Michigan last weekend to fish the Pere Marquette River. The Pere Marquette is a great trout fishery that also gets a wonderful Fall king salmon and Fall/Winter steelhead run. And if you hit her just right, you can catch them all in the same day.
We had a great weekend. I think hitting the Pere Marquette would make for a fantastic Christian Men's Retreat. The rooms in Baldwin are very inexpensive, the fishing is truly world class, and the type of fishing would work well for discussing men's issues while we're away. If you would be interested in a future Fall Christian Men's Retreat for some "iron sharpening iron" time and some time on the water in a world class fishery, let me know and I'll start putting it together...with your name on the list!

| Who cares if you catch anything? Look at this place! |
 |
| An early run bonus steelhead...schwing! |
 |
| The butter bellies are stuffed with salmon eggs. |
 |
| The average king salmon on the Pere Marquette is 15-17lbs. That should put a bend in your rod. |

| You can see yourself fishing in this scene...can't you? |
LET'S GO FISHIN'!
