If you are planning on heading up north fishing or plan on staying home and grilling out with a few cold ones have a safe and Happy 4th of July. We’re up in Traverse City where the first half was cold and over cast so far. We’ll try to hit the flats again tomorrow.
You deserve a break today…

Todd’s most recent creation didn’t make it out of phase I development here at the Nomad Anglers testing facility.
We both thought tying up a hex out of old yellow fly line would make the perfect bug to float all night long. After dropping it the water we realized it sunk faster than a submarine on a torpedo mission in the Pacific.
Back to the drawing board for our next creation. We did conclude snow shoe rabbit floats like a p.f.d.
A couple days ago during my casting lesson the kid I was with caught a 9″ Bluegill out of the pond.
Not the one in the picture but a darn nice fish…
Well the Grand, Cedar and the Glass are still high and dirty…
Look to fish the ponds, Park Lake or Sleepy Howell for some very good top water action.
I had a two customers in today; one had two big bass break him off and the other had a MUSKY blow up on a popper yesterday…
Best fishing early morning or afternoon.
Wow…I didn’t know that the Steelhead run all the way to Colorado…
Jordan is a State Trooper from Colorado that grew up in Bath. He often frequented the shop and had Mel as a teacher in Bath.
Not a bad fish…
Here is a post from Jeff Hubbard and Outfitters North www.outfittersnorth.com
Hey Fellow Nomads,
This year I decided to take a few days off during the Hex time. To have some fun fishing myself. (: You find being a full time river guide sometimes doesn’t allow you to fish when the fishing is really go on. I sometimes find myself day dreaming of the old days of fishing with your buds well into the night. Drinking a few cold ones, and zonking out in the truck only to do it all over again. I decided time to set off fishing for a couple nights. The Hex’s are just starting finding more bugs each night I’m out. Last night I managed to get this pig one of my personal bests on a Hex and a 4 weight rod. Yee ha!!!!! So if you find yourself on the couch watching infomercials on the TV at 1 in the morning and like to fly fish. Well, fire up the road trip mobile grab some friends and cold ones and head up to Northern Michigan its a great place to spend a summer night. Remember lots of bug dope and watch for timber cattle (what we call deer up here). Good luck, maybe you will find a nice fish gulping the big bug. We all have a little Nomad in us. Jeff
Dave caught this on the side of the river and we both decided what ever is going to eat this guy is going to be big…
Back up tonight for more bugs will report in the morning…I didn’t think you could smell like Hex Fishing.
