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

July has arrived with a classic Michigan heatwave.\u00a0 Temperatures poking into the nineties have the larger, main channels of our river getting too warm for good afternoon angling.\u00a0 The best play for \"Wayne3\"<\/a>trout fishers on those waters is to hit the stream as the first light of the rising sun pokes into the bristled treetops.\u00a0 The riverside birds will welcome anglers with song.\u00a0 Birds sing loudly in the lonely mornings and the air and water is cool.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tie on your favorite confidence patterns and get to the business of picking apart the currents and logjams.\u00a0 Wade slowly and fish deliberately.\u00a0 Use all the tools in your arsenal.\u00a0 Dry flies rolled in bubble-lines should garner attention and wet flies, streamers, and nymphs may just do the heavy lifting.\u00a0\u00a0 Larger trout will be cruising their nighttime hunting lines, and so should be available before the sun hits the river.\u00a0 Cautiousness is paramount for anyone hunting those predators.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the day warms and the canoes start to float past, fishermen should either join the party or seek smaller water.\u00a0 Canopied feeder streams and creeks generally run colder and fish feed in the shadows much longer into the afternoon.\u00a0 Most of the creeks have burdened few angling hours yet this year, so the fish should be eager to the fly of your choice.\u00a0 Adams, patriots, Borchers, and grasshoppers are all good first flies to knot onto your leader.<\/span><\/p>\n

And it is still a night game for the biggest browns.\u00a0 Mice and gurglers fished methodically after dark will produce for the rest of the Summer.<\/span><\/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 14<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0and again on July 15<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup>.\u00a0 The class covers everything a new fisherman needs to know.\u00a0 Students\"Wayne1\"<\/a> 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 for students to keep.\u00a0 It\u2019s a great deal and a wonderful way to get started down the path. \u00a0There is no time to start like the present.\u00a0 Give us a Google and call the shop for details.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m so excited to get to the business of morning fishing and exploring the creeks!<\/span><\/p>\n

Hope to see you soon,<\/span><\/p>\n
