SSR's Michigan-based Members have added two more entries to their ongoing blog, Enjoying West Michigan."Michigan Fly Fishing": As a companion to the fishing blog by the Risingers and Sue Ferguson, Dr. Gary Smith and Mike "Schultzy" Schultz (owner of Schultz Outfitters) provide the low-down on fishing on the fly. Tips include the best places to catch your fish of choice, the truth behind the Michigan Monster Mayflies (3M), and even the best rod/reel/line combo for top-water smallmouth fishing. Schultzy's recommendation for a family-friendly fishing and vacation destination, Traverse City, leads into the next post in the series (below).
"A Wine and Food Tour of Northern Michigan": If you enjoy farm-to-table dining, vineyard tours, and beautiful sights, Dr. Kristin Parkin strongly recommends a trip to the Grand Traverse area. Based on her own 30+ years of traveling in the area, Dr. Parkin has put together a two-day wine and food tour of northern Michigan that's sure to delight. If you're lucky, you might even run into acclaimed chef Mario Batali, who spends his summers in the area.
