<\/a>It worked well and often this year.\u00a0 Lots of folks saw their fair share of bent rods and got their pictures.\u00a0 The best I saw so far was a twenty eight inch whopper.\u00a0 Hatch match dry fly fishing simply doesn\u2019t get better than that anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s just about done now on the Au Sable, but our sister river, the Manistee is now proving her medal.\u00a0 I bet you could work a good one under the fireworks in the coming days.<\/p>\n That said, it\u2019s like the Au Sable has finally taken a deep breath.\u00a0 Around here, you sort of hit the river running at trout opener and start chasing after the glory hatches of hendricksons, suplhurs, iso\u2019s, brown drakes, and Hex and you just don\u2019t stop until July.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll likely sneak over the Manistee a few more times after dark to see if I have any more Hex hatch Karma left, but I\u2019m really looking forward to the second season on the Au Sable.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a pretty wonderful time for trout fishing upon us.\u00a0 The hard core trout camps have broken up and the huge fishing crowd is largely gone.\u00a0 Gone too is the constant rehashing and second guessing that comes with chasing hatches.<\/p>\n You can kind of go whenever you want and where ever you want.\u00a0 We\u2019ve got blue-winged olives showing up in the mornings and iso , cahill, and gray drake spinners at dusk.\u00a0 The terrestrial fishing with hoppers, ants, and beetles should be good at any time of the day.\u00a0 You can also fish attractor patterns on any river at any time to find trout from here on out.<\/p>\n Best of all, some of the most productive waters have been ignored for weeks because of the great hatch chase.\u00a0 Places like the Holy Waters haven\u2019t been touched.<\/p>\n This is a much more relaxed time on the streams and brooks of Northern Michigan.<\/p>\n Hope I\u2019ll see you on the River,<\/p>\n Andy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Old Au Sable Fly Shop Fishing Report July 1, 2015 What a Hex season it\u2019s been.\u00a0 Such a crazy time on the Au Sable.\u00a0 The big flies come out by the many thousands and create an audible hum of flapping insect wings at dark and the big trout slip out of their log jams … 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":[84,7,5,68],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.oldausable.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668"}],"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=668"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.oldausable.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.oldausable.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=668"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.oldausable.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=668"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.oldausable.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/a><\/a>
