<\/a>tough for trout anglers.\u00a0 Especially, for the dry fly angler.\u00a0 We are behind by a week or so at best.\u00a0 But the weather is shifting into Summer, and I expect that the June hatches will catch up quickly.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve just started seeing the best of our Sulphur emergence, but drakes will likely overtake and swallow up the yellow bugs shortly. I truly hope the Brown Drakes hold off for a while so that we can enjoy some semblance of a hatch progression.\u00a0 Each hatch will come in its own time but, for now, I\u2019d like to soak in a few days of Suplhurs.<\/p>\n
I had a fine night of abuse and, ultimately failure, on the South Dave and I loaded our gear and drove to many landings with one simple mission – to not sit around and be bored. The water was too high everywhere and day was too cold to allow for any sort of real angling opportunities.\u00a0 So wet, festering waders and a cooler of beer in tow, we headed to pull-in after pull-in.<\/p>\n One spot made us stop and sigh and capitulate to a particularly green laden landing on the Au Sable River\u2019s South Branch.

A big fish ate by me and then a second good one broke water.\u00a0 I yelled downstream to my gone friend.\u00a0 Four nice trout showed themselves.\u00a0 I fished hard and well, but the trout won.\u00a0 Dave found a good one that ate and another he There\u2019s a fish story in there somewhere.<\/p>\n The water is dropping and the Drakes are soon. Until then, Sulpurs are happening, March Browns are solid, and caddis are flying.<\/p>\n June is here.<\/p>\n See you soon!<\/p>\n Andy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" May 31, 2019 The Old Au Sable Fly Shop Fishing Report It feels like we\u2019ve turned a corner.
