<\/a> Fly Fishing Literature Class that looked wide-eyed at everything Au Sable and fell a little in love with the place that we hold so dear.\u00a0 It was the fact that most everyone has been catching a lot of fish in the daytime.\u00a0 These aren\u2019t big trout, but they are many and they are eager.\u00a0 The fishermen are happy and the guides are relaxed.\u00a0 Fishing has been easy and I don\u2019t get to say that very often.<\/p>\nCaddis and suplhurs remain the chess pieces of choice and most folks are tying on two at a time to the end of their leaders. Dry fly and dropper rigs and double dry fly rigs are the standard offerings.\u00a0 Soft hackles, wet caddis emergers, and caddis pupa knotted to dry caddis or stonefly has been deadly.\u00a0 But as soon as an angler is satisfied with the number of trout to hand, many are eliminating that second fly and the headaches and inevitable tangles that two flies promise.\u00a0 Folks become content to just continue to catch plenty of speckled trout with the single dry fly.\u00a0 It\u2019s simply been fun.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s about to get even better, though. Drakes are nearly here.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, the Brown Drakes will likely be thick by the time you hear this report.\u00a0 Then the daytime numbers of fish will be strongly punctuated with exclamation points of large trout.\u00a0 The whole of Crawford County streams are about to show their medal.<\/p>\n

We have a chance of thunderstorms each day and the fishing right before and after these afternoon cloudbursts can be very good.\u00a0 These aren\u2019t all day, monsoons we\u2019re dealing with, but fast, dark events that may just make the trout and mayflies more active.\u00a0 Should be fun.<\/p>\n
