Was out fishing with friends on the Grand and caught this bad boy.  It always amazes me the different colors small mouth bass can be.  With the heat of July, the fishing slowed a bit.  However, August has brought much more reasonable temps in the evenings.  

I am booking now for Fall trout, salmon, and steelhead trips.  Swung fly with single and two handed rods is the thing to do in November-December.

Sorry I have not updated my blog in way too long.  Here are a few pics of what I have been to.  The weather as most of you know is extremely hot.  I have been fishing local inland lakes for blue gills which appear to be spawning.  Kind of a weird scenario since I always thought they spawned earlier.

 Took a day off to fish the Hodenpyl section of the Manistee River with some friends on Sunday.  Fishing was tough, but definitely a "Pure Michigan" type of day.

Catch-up!

Its been a bit since last post. I would normally say that we are in the dead of winter here, however, the fish above was caught on 1-14-2012. Since then we have not had any snow so to speak of. I spent the day with good friend, Eric, on the Pere Marquette. Fresh, heavy snowfall on all the trees made this an awesome float. The fish was a bonus, as well as, the lunch that Eric prepared. Indy-nymphing and swung fly are both working on various rivers at this time. Patience must be excercised!

Happy New Year to all! Had an unexpected day off today and decided to take "me lady" steelhead fishing for the first time. With the weather being unseasonably warm and the lack of snow...it has me getting out more than usual in January. Pictured is Maegen with her first steelhead ever.

Got an opportunity to fish with good friends today. Eric and Ben. Fished the Muskegon river without a single drop of precip, even though it rained the whole drive up. Fishing was slow with one fish hooked by Eric and another fish landed by yours truly. The fellowship was great and more than made up for the fishing. Conditions: water was at 1630cfs this morning. This is great for swinging flies. Fish are hanging around structure filled areas. Slow runs with boulders or downed timber will likely hold fish. Seeing fresh and seasoned fish in the river. Get out while you can and the snow flies.
