6-17-11 Fishing Report




























Sorry guys it has been so long since a report, no good reason other than I have been really busy not sleeping mixing days on the flats of grand traverse and nights in the haunts of the Pere Marquette, + my usb cord for my camera was giving me fits.


Carp on the fly------------- for some reason they seem to get better looking on a pristine flat










Looks like I am pregnant in this pic

Rain doesn't always put down wake fishing, not many big fish today but tons of smaller fish looking up


















Spent a great long weekend in Maine with the family, more pics to come from Catie (my wife's) camera this seemed very camera worthy to my food driven eyes....Fresh Maine lobsters there is nothing better

Stay tuned for open dates as of right know I have this Sunday the 19th off this next wed. the 22nd, and the 26th open. The next three weeks of dry fly fishing will be the best of the year. Come join me for a mayfly frenzy....

5-23-11 Fishing Report

Dry Fly Season is Here!


This fish hit a waking fly




Believe it or not there are still fishable #'s of steelhead




Great fish by Mike








Great fish by Mike C










Mike enjoying the day before the rapture












Great group trip with the Ross Family













George the Animal CPA with his first steelhead on a Fly



















Babe Ruth : Brad called his shot on a nice Big MO buck









All the bugs are hatching and I have no more official steelhead trips but there are still quite a few pockets of them around in particular rivers. With the cold weather continuing the bugs will slowly hatch every decent night making a great extended dry fly season.


I have a few openings this week,,,,give us a call and get on some of the best dry fly trout fishing of the year. P.S. saw several big stonefly's (Pteronarcys) on the screens this morning ((Terry Time is Here!!))


See ya on the creek....
