The members of Schrems West
Michigan Trout Unlimited have once again invited Oak Brook TU members to join
in a workday on Tyler Creek on Saturday, May 3rd. The project will be a bank stabilization project
in the area near 100th Street.
This is about one mile from the Dolan Nature Area parking lot (shown on
the map as the TU parking lot). The
WMTU project is timed to be in conjunction with a Michigan Nature Society
garlic mustard pull on the Dolan Area.

We should expect a morning
of work along Tyler Creek, and then a gathering for lunch with the other participants
at the Freeport community center.
More importantly, the
workday should coincide with the height of the Hendrickson hatch on the
Coldwater River & Tyler Creek.
Members of WMTU are looking forward to taking us fishing later in the
afternoon and evening. Wild brown trout
rising to mayflies…makes your eyes red just thinkin’ about it…
Plan to make a weekend of
it. Tyler Creek is about 15 miles
southeast of Grand Rapids, Michigan. It
is about a 3-˝ hour drive from our area.
There are ample hotels and motels in Grand Rapids. Also, the Tyler Golf Course has a lodge
building that can hold eight people.
There is great trout fishing
to be found on the Coldwater River, the Rogue River near Rockford (1/2 hour
north), and the Muskegon River near Newaygo (1 hour north).
This is a great opportunity
to work once again with a great group of TU members on their home stream, to
enjoy good fishing, and make new friends.
Plan to join us. If you are
interested, please contact Marvin Strauch at 708-599-5101 or prez@obtu.org for details. We need to have a
reasonable head count before the workday.
