The Old Au Sable Fly Shop Fishing Report.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to believe that another fine Michigan Summer is nearly in the books\u2014it\u2019s been a good one.\u00a0 The River has treated us allvery\u00a0well this season.\u00a0 There were lots of second and third year trout in the systems that were willing to play the game, so most anglers were happy having plenty of fish to catch.\u00a0 And the trophy<\/p>\n

fish showed up as well right when they were supposed to appear.<\/p>\n

One night, during hex, the guides and shop guys combined to bring seven browns to hand that stretched the tape at right around twenty-four inches.\u00a0 Fish of that caliber are true whoppers anywhere in the world, and a day like that helps put our<\/p>\n

rivers on the map as real players in fantastic world of fly fishing.<\/p>\n

And, though there\u2019s still a lot of good hatches left on the docket like tricos and olives in the Upper River and the white fly hatch below Mio Dam as well as the last, best mousing moon phase of the year, Fall is coming and fishing will just get better.<\/p>\n

If that doesn\u2019t get you excited, the joys of the big woods are on the horizon.\u00a0 We\u2019ve been running our bird dogs through the covers and we\u2019ve been slinking down deer runs and looking for the best place to hang our bow hunting stands.\u00a0 The woods are alive.\u00a0 There\u2019s fruit on every branch that will bear grouse food and heaviest stands have limbs bending under the weight.\u00a0 And the whitetail buck crop looks strong.\u00a0 I saw a bachelor group of four racked bucks cross the road only a mile from my house last week.\u00a0 It\u2019s all very exciting.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t really tell where I\u2019d most like to be in the wild this Fall.\u00a0 Knee deep in the water or waist deep in the ferns or perched in the<\/p>\n

branches over of promising deer run.\u00a0 I guess I\u2019ll just have to do it all!<\/p>\n

Anyway, have a great Holiday and be sure to swing by the shop.\u00a0 It\u2019s the end of Summer and we\u2019ve got super sales and deals on all sorts of great, brand name gear.\u00a0 It\u2019s time to stock up on surprising sales.<\/p>\n

Hope to see you all soon!<\/p>\n
