The Old Au Sable Fly Shop Fishing Report<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve got our last cold front of the season behind us\u2014we hope.\u00a0 Fishing shut down for a few days, but now we should be back on track for the goodness of June.<\/p>\n
The Manistee has some fine brown drake nights in the bug forecast.\u00a0 And the Au Sable is looking forward to quality evenings spurred on by Iso\u2019s and Suphlurs.\u00a0 In fact, every angler should have a healthy dose of those patterns in their boxes for the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n
Hex are on the horizon and a guarantee once the weather warms again.\u00a0 We are seeing some of the big bugs on Lake Margerethe, so we should hear their flutter in the twilight very soon.\u00a0\u00a0 I\u2019m hoping for seasonable temperatures that will let us chase trophy fish until the end of the month.\u00a0 But there is always what we want and what will actually occur.\u00a0\u00a0 I\u2019ve learned one thing over the years and that is simply that the River doesn\u2019t care what we want.\u00a0 So we\u2019ll go into the next days hopeful and eager and filled with excitement.\u00a0 We all know what these rivers can do.<\/p>\n
There are a bunch of good trout in the Rivers this year.\u00a0 I\u2019ve heard of two twenty-eight in brown trout of a lifetime being netted.\u00a0 Maybe even better, the brook trout seem to have rebounded and are offering anglers some good daytime fishing.\u00a0 The North Branch seems to be back to its old self with fishermen reporting healthy catches of our state fish.\u00a0 It\u2019s a relief. Brook trout are my favorite critters that swim. \u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s great to hear the North is doing better.<\/p>\n
Fish Patriots and Borchers and Coachmans and caddis and you\u2019ll have a great time.<\/p>\n
Folks should also consider going fishing in the early mornings.\u00a0 I know this is supposed to be a stay late, go into the darkness, and hunt for a trophy brown trout time of year and it certainly is all of that.\u00a0 But be it on the lake, or ocean, or in grandmas farm pond, morning fishing can be the most rewarding of the day.\u00a0 The may not be big, but they will likely be plentiful.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll have the rising light all to yourself.<\/p>\n
See you soon,<\/p>\n
