My BFF….

We need some water people!! There are steelhead to be caught but the set up for December kind of worries me. Worse case scenario one can always fish no more how tough the catching gets. Indicator (bobber), swinging, and streamers are the most practiced fly methods at the current time.

I was lucky enough to get out with my big fat friend Tom Lynch who is incredibly skilled at catching big fat trout. Tom Lynch catches more trophy trout then any angler I know and that is a fact. I don’t know how much credibility I bring to the table but….I am just saying. Also he is truly passionate about this sport and defines obsessive fishing disorder. Thank you bud for teaching myself and so many more so much about this sport and respect of the sport. Btw he really isn’t that fat but we can not be to nice to our true best of buds.

Fish with friend today!!

Are there any cons to the Rocky Mountain skiff…..I don’t think so.

On a Steelhead we Ride

Cause they are wanted…preferably alive!! It is not peak fall season yet but salmon are officially off my target list. The water levels could use a boost to help are steelhead up the river but things are off to a good start for the conditions. The trout bite seems to be temporarily off as they spawn but the post spawn bite should pick up in a couple weeks.

The fall colors are as good as they will get and the river is almost tranquil again as the salmon crowds have moved on. Come up and enjoy a day on the river. Fall steelhead is potentially the most challenging thing with fins for the fly angler in Michigan. A fall Steel can humble you but will always educate and make you a better angler.

So come get some!!

Some love for the Ho’s!!
