Had Matt Lehman in the boat today. Lots of hook-ups for his first salmon outing. Still lots of Salmon in the river with steelhead

mixing. Trout fishing behind the salmon redds is productive at this time.

Tight Lines!

Had the Spinnazzi group out for two days this week. Great group of guys that I really enjoy guiding year after year. Good numbers of salmon are present. Several salmon hookups both days with one brief steelhead encounter per day to keep things even more exciting. We have received some much needed rain that will bring up more fish to keep this show rollin'.

Tightlines! Nick

Spent the day with friend, John, on the Muskegon for some streamer pitching. It was a mixed bag of trout and smallmouth. Water is very low at this time. We could use a couple days worth of rain to move the salmon run along. Blue Winged Olives and some caddis were in the air, but not many on the water. Fishing should be picking up from here on out.

Took my brother and nephew "pitchin' plugs" for salmon this morning. The salmon seem to be running a bit bigger on average this year. This one weighed 20lbs on the Boga Grip. Hot color was fluorescent pink. Fun day for all those involved.

Tightlines,

Trip to Montana

Henry's Fork Rainbow...size 20 bwo

Had a great vacation in Montana with friend, Derek Deyoung. Fishing on the Yellowstone, Madison, Henry's Fork, The Lamar, and various lakes all had their moments. PMD's, BWO's, and terrestrials all played a major part in my fish catching ability.

Trout Fishing in Michigan is picking back up from the heat of the summer. With cooler nights and day time temps...the fishing will only get better. I am seeing salmon start to come through some of our river systems. I am taking bookings still for October salmon and November/ December trout and steelhead trips.

Tightlines,

Nick

Just got back from a weekend on the Ausable with Father and Son (Rick and Matt Thomas). First time fly fishing for either of them. What better first catch than the almighty state fish, Mr. Brook Trout. It was great to have them up for the weekend! Weather was perfect and fishing was pretty typical for July. BWO's were a reliable subject as well as some night time "Mousin" that I introduce the boys to. Success with mousin was a bit tough due to the Full moon out last night. Still made for a great night to be on the water. During the day, the terresterials filled the bill. PMX's and Hoppers all got looks as well as various other patterns with Elk hair and rubber legs.

That is all for now!

Yes...I did change the background image. Got tired of the old one. This one seems more appropriate. I have been fishing on the Pere Marquette lately. Terresterials by day...the "H" word by night. Good bug activity and the fish have been somewhat cooperative. No pics to be had at this time. Will be doing the night-time mousin' thing for a while now. Small mouth bass are on the feed now. Strippin' streamers are an effective method of catching these jumpers. Trout fishing continues to be good on the Muskegon Caddis, BWO's, and ants all fill the trouts stomach. Thats all for now.
