Calling all Midwest Fishermen

Who do we have out there? I'm trying to find others to hit the water with. Since I moved to Chicago a couple of years ago, I've only fished about a total of 2 weeks in 2 years. I used to average 1-2 outings per week

I'm starting to do some research so I can get back on the ball.

I mostly fish the long rod (flyrod), but I do a lot of fishing with spinning tackle. I like to go after anything that swims... trout, steelhead, salmon, largemouths, smallies, white bass, stripers, hybrids, crappie, bluegills, carp, cats, etc. If it pulls... that's all that matters. Although, I've got smallmouth fever at the moment.

In another life, I used to build rods and tie flies. I'm trying to get back in the groove again. I pretty much travel 99% of the time for work. I haven't previously, but I'm gonna try to start bringing some gear on the road with me. I'm hoping to hit some local water if I'm able to (Wisconsin, Minnesota, Indiana, etc.). I'm mostly available on the weekends, but there are times that I'm at home during the week.

So who's out there? Who's up for hitting the water sometime?
