MFFC
2011 Trout Tune-Up
|
The Trout Tune Up is an annual gathering of MFFC members on the first Saturday of April at the Walled Lake Outdoor Education Center in Commerce Township. The Club rents a structure called the Yurt for the day and provides food, beverages and a place to warm, if it happens to be a cold day.
A Yurt is a semi-permanent structure which was used by the Mongolian Nomads. It is the Asian version of a tepee. The Lowe's Yurt is 30 feet in diameter and built on a 36x50 foot deck. It can hold up to 50 people at one time.
We fish the Huron River, which will have been recently been stocked by the DNR with trout from a nearby hatchery. The DNR will usually plant 2000 to 3000 Brown and Rainbow trout between the Moss Lake dam and Wixom road bridge. Special trout regulations (flies only) are in effect for that stretch from the 1st thru the end of the month of April.
Sometimes, if we're lucky, the DNR will have released some of their "breeder stock". These fish are usually very large and very strong. Catching one of these guys can sometimes be one of the largest fish you catch all year.
All our club members are encouraged to attend and are welcome to come to the Yurt anytime throughout the day between the hours of 8 am and 5 pm.
This outing also makes for a good time to test out new equipment you may have acquired at the Expo, over the Holidays or after last trout season ended.
Hope to see you there and don't forget your fishing license.
