anyone have any information on the grand river in grandrapids? just moved up here for school and looking to get some advice

[livintobefishin]

My advice, go to the 6th street dam and watch people for awhile. This is a good way to gain some information, and if you go, you are sure to see something entertaining, fish or not. If you don't know where it is, there is a parking lot at Monroe and the 6th street bridge, and also down Front street off of Leonard st. Any thing else, just ask here or send me a PM.

anyone have advice for a cheap pair of good waders?

I got a Pair Normans, I don't know they have a Normans where you are, but I think I paid like $30.00 3 yrs. ago still use them today

Just keep them in dark and dry place like closet or dark corner in basement, I hand them from the foot ends and put crumple up newspaper in them to keep out wrinkels out when not in use .
