The Dog Days

Here we are in the midst of summer and it is a beautiful here in Michigan. The big dry fly hatches are finishing up on the Pere Marquette leaving us the after dark hours to play on the river. Terrestrial fishing will keep things busy when the lights are on, nymphs and wet flies will keep the rod bent for those who like to work on their tan.

Be patient and don’t let your confidence drop. This time of the year can be difficult to fool are slimy friends. With water temps peaking and canoe traffick very heavy at times. Take it with grace and focus on the fact we love to fish and not just catch fish. When the fishing gets tough get out and fish, and become a better angler as the result.

Fish well!!
