Several area fly tiers will come together March 23 at the Elkhart Conservation Club for the annual Tie-A-Thon to create flies for the charity group, Reel Recovery.
Woolly Bugger is a great fly that catches a ton of fish. It is easy to tie and a great fly to donate to the Tie-a-thon.The premise of the annual Tie-a-thon is like an old fashion barn raisin, as several fly tiers gather to tie as many flies as they can to donate to the cause. Joining forces again this year to tie flies are with members of the St. Joseph River Valley Fly Fishers, Kalamazoo Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited, The Brotherhood of the Jungle Cock, Reel Women, Reel Men of Indianapolis, Grand Rapids Fly Tyers, Fly Girls, Anglers of the Au Sable, Little Elkhart Chapter of Trout Unlimited, Duneland Fly Fishers and individuals.

Fishing in the area near the new sea lamprey barrier that was completed earlier this year on Trail Creek in Michigan City has been prohibited by the DNR by emergency rule.
The purpose is to protect migrating trout and salmon.
The rule, which took effect last week, prohibits the taking or possession of fish within 100 feet upstream of the barrier and from the barrier downstream to the Pottawatomie Country Club Golf Course property line, which is located adjacent to Springland Avenue in Michigan City.
