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

What a beautiful sight it is to wake to snow falling softly in the woods outside your window.\u00a0 There\u2019s peace in it.\u00a0 And the thin blanket of white brightens the black and gray, leafless lots.\u00a0 I can tell you it gets a three year old pressed against the glass of a front window.\u00a0 My boy Jack, could hardly wait for the light to catch up with his eagerness to get outdoors.\u00a0 He had his boots on before the coffee was done and was going outside whether we were going or not.\u00a0 Do you remember that from when you were a kid?\u00a0 The excitement of the first real snow?<\/p>\n

He couldn\u2019t wait to get outside and neither should any of us.\u00a0 The beginning of a mild winter is in front of us and the snow will seep into the ground shortly, giving us another window of fine weather for early winter outdoors games.<\/p>\n

Steelhead fishing is holding strong on rivers like the Pere Marquette.\u00a0 And, locally, the streamer fishing for fine brown trout shows excellent promise over the coming days.\u00a0 My advice is to get a belly full of turkey and Thanksgiving leftovers and push thigh deep into the woods and waters of Northern Michigan.\u00a0 And to do it with the enthusiasm of a three year old.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also time to start thinking about fly tying. \u00a0Not only is crafting your own feathered fishing lures a great way to fill your fly box, it\u2019s a fine way to pass the winter.\u00a0 The first fly tying event at the shop will be a Mason-Griffith T.U. sponsored class and demonstration with expert fly designer Dennis Potter <\/span><\/span><\/a>on December 12th<\/span><\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Then on every weekend beginning in January 9th, we\u2019ll be hosting free tying classes and demonstrations.\u00a0 Go to http:\/\/www.oldausable.com\/community\/events<\/span><\/span><\/a> or find us on Facebook for details.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t forget to swing by the Old Au Sable Fly Shop for our Black Friday, weekend long sales.\u00a0 We\u2019ve got some great deals on great gear.\u00a0 It\u2019s not just gear for fishermen; it\u2019s gear for the great outdoors.\u00a0 Foul weather anglers have developed some of the best gloves, hats, layering and raingear on the planet.\u00a0 We\u2019ve got piles on sale and it\u2019s tough to put a price on being perfectly warm and dry.\u00a0 But we have and it\u2019s a steal.<\/p>\n

Thanks for tuning in and thanks for the off-season sales support.\u00a0 It\u2019s what makes our clients more like friends than customers.<\/p>\n

Hope to see you soon and Happy Thanksgiving,<\/p>\n
