<\/a>iso\u2019s are keeping anglers busy with some good trout as the light falls below the tree line.\u00a0 And the Hex are keeping big trout looking toward the surface as the moon rises.\u00a0 The density of bugs has thinned and gorged brown trout are being finicky, but anglers can hunt for trophy browns until the birds chirp in the early morning hours.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been a great season so far.<\/p>\n
The Manistee Hex hatch just keeps getting stronger and will peak before the Fourth of July.\u00a0 Some real bruisers are prowling the currents this year, and I suspect we\u2019ll see a picture of a real river monster soon.\u00a0 The trout are thick and strong and rising whenever there are any insects on the water.<\/p>\n
The big push of hardcore Hex anglers is past.\u00a0 Many of those fishermen have burned their vacation time so the rivers will be much less crowded.\u00a0 We\u2019re moving into the second season on the Au Sable.<\/p>\n
July marks the beginning of the terrestrial season.\u00a0 Grasshoppers, ants, and beetles will be the order of the day.\u00a0 The fish are looking strongly to the surface now and attractor patterns like Patriots, and Coachmans will most certainly garner attention.\u00a0 Anytime of the day is the right time to go, but early mornings will offer the best opportunity especially for fishermen seeking solitude.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s time to just simply go fishing.\u00a0 And it\u2019s time to get new anglers introduced to this wonderful lifetime sport.\u00a0 The Old Au Sable is offering beginner classes July 14th<\/sup>\u00a0and again on July 15th<\/sup>.\u00a0 The class covers everything a new fisherman needs to know.\u00a0 Students will spend time learning on both dry ground and in the river.\u00a0 Our class is for all ages and families, lasts for four hours and includes a free rod and reel package.\u00a0 It\u2019s a great deal and a wonderful way to get started down the path.\u00a0 There is no time to start like the present.\u00a0 Give us a Google and call the shop for details.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll see you all soon,<\/p>\n Andy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" River Report June 27, 2018 Hex are still rolling on the river of Crawford County.\u00a0 The peak activity has crested on the Au Sable River, but there still are still plenty of bugs left in the thick muck banks of the lower river and there is lots of activity in the evening and into the … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[200,155,84,7,166,5,68],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.oldausable.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1614"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.oldausable.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.oldausable.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.oldausable.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.oldausable.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1614"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.oldausable.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1614\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1949,"href":"https:\/\/blog.oldausable.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1614\/revisions\/1949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.oldausable.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1614"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.oldausable.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1614"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.oldausable.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
