    About Me Well, I reside in Southeastern Michigan (Dearborn Heights) and I really enjoy the sport of fly fishing and tying. I'm originally from the west side of the state in the Holton/Fremont area. I graduated Holton Public Schools in 1985, went to Ferris for 1 1/2 years, dabled in different things, and then went into the Marine Corps. I ended up moving to Southeast Michigan area about 19 years ago and still down in this area. I fish the Huron River religiously, but I also enjoy going up north to hit the other wonderful rivers in our state (Michigan). Last year I decided to start doing production Fly Tying. The name of the thing is called "Grizzly Flies by Schottsie", the web site would be (grizzlyfliesbyschottsie.com). I also belong to and serve on the board for the Michigan Fly Fishing Club and I have also served on the Board of Directors for Ann Arbor Trout Unlimited. That is about it, so Tight Lines.
    Music Blues, Rock, Metal, and Country. What a combination. As long as there is a beat and awesome guitar chords, I' listening.
