NY Posts: 115	I finally got out on the creek here in South Korea I was using my new 3wt and a size 16-18 white/yellow mayfly dry, I don't know the exact pattern Caught plenty of these little guys, and missed 2 of their bigger relatives (6-8in) When I get to a larger river hopefully I will start hitting trout! Anyway this is good casting practice.. You lose a lot of casting skill in 2 years off :/

Novi, MI Posts: 2608	Well Nick, you know we wish you the best, and promise not to hassle your home water fish too much for when you visit home again. If you see Dennis Rodman over there anywhere, feel free to smack him up side his goofy head, you can tell him its from Spence back in Detroit...He's making his old "Bad Boys" teammates look bad and his behavior's unbecoming. Spence Back in the 80's when I was driving truck for the Free Press and working my way through Wayne State downtown, we played pickup basketball on Sunday mornings at 1300 Beaubien at the PAL gym attached there (Police Atheletic League)...We would show up around 5-6:00am and were still on the clock :)...There were so many yellow Freep trucks parked outside with some of us sucking in that OT. 1300 Beaubien is infamous...The main headquarters for the Detroit Police Department. Not a place you would really want to have to hang out at as Saturday night in Detroit blended into Sunday morning. We arrived with bundles of Sunday papers and comics and they gave us the key to the gym. The Pistons were in high gear then, and were known as the Bad Boys. They played basketball like they were hockey players...I played basketball like a clutzy hockeyplayer and led with my Gordie Howe elbows...It wasn't pretty. My buddies called me Spencer "Mahorn"...:) So...Nick...I'm officially passing on some of my "cred" to allow you to box his ears...If the chance presents itself.

Oscoda, MI Posts: 2611	Nick, my sister met my brother-in-law when both were in the Army in Korea. She was CPT in Military Intelligence (I know the old saying...), and he was CPT (Promotable) in Armored Cavalry (no, we're not talking horses, more like M1 Abrams). They have been together ever since, and they have plenty of stories to tell about Korea...like the sneakers my bro-in-law bought that turned out to be made with water soluble glue, which he discovered much to his distress during a rain storm... I hear there are some interesting salmonids in your part of the world, at least according to James Prosek's Trout of the World. Best of luck finding them, and of course if you do, we want to see them on here! Jonathon
	No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...

NY Posts: 115	Hi Jason!! I've been spotting some tiny cherry trout from the looks of it in there actually... I THINK??? They have reddish fins and are vastly different from the other ones I've seen. Hey I'm in the barracks right by Hovey Library/Ed Center/PX, 3826. Shoot me a text @ 010-4492-0202! And sadly I haven't been fishing for a couple months :/ work, college, and getting married are all eating up my fishing time.
