Cut-Throat,
Living in Minnesota, you must do some ice fishing. How do you manage to cast a fly into those little holes in the ice? 
I actually fish on the Mississippi River very seldom. My favorite type of fishing in Missouri is by canoeing (locally called "floating") the clear streams in the Ozarks and catching smallmouth bass with my ultralight spinning outfit. (I also did this once on the St. Croix River in Wisconsin.) I have always practiced catch and release, and it is especially crucial on small streams where the growth rate of game fish is not very high.
I also love to eat salmon and one of my best fishing trips was catching them from a small boat off the coast of British Columbia. 22 pounds was my largest catch.
