Welcome the new SAGE VXP Fly Fishing Rod. Replacing the VT2 for fall 2010 Sage Fly Rods developed an ultra high line speed and slender shaft design that reduces overall weight, each rod in this series is exceptionally smooth and responsive. <Click Here to See all the Models>
Here is a sneak peak of the new Sage TXL-F fly rod for 2011. A few models are available now for purchase. If you want the ultimate rod to product light tippets this is the rod for you! Using Micro Ferrule Technology Sage was able to lighten the old TXL and make the rod more sensitive. It also adds a snub nose, halfwells grip for great fell while casting.

After months of spring/early summer rain the Grand River is finally looking good and starting to produce some great warm water fishing. With water levels above average but by no means too high sub surface action for smallies has been picking up rapidly. I have been doing well over the last two weeks fishing sinking lines with white streamers with plenty of flash. Tequeelies and crayfish imitations have also been producing during the day. Towards dusk fish are starting to key in on the abundance of white flies that have been consistently hatching and there has been a tremendous amount of top water action. Stop by the shop or call (517) 349-6696 to learn more about the Grand River.

I found this bag is the perfect for tromping around at night mousing. It alows me to carry my big SLR camera without having to worry about getting it wet. It’s straps are comfortable and size is just about perfect for day outings. You can also add the small chest pack to the front for a large fly box and a few other tackle items. Also, the bag has rod holders on each site that can be used for water bottles as well. <Click.Buy.Fish>
Here’s my friend Becca’s new website I’ve been working on. www.becca-schlaff.com
She’ll be showing off her work at the Grand Haven Art Festival this weekend. Let us know what you think of her work.

April 25, 11 am, Gates Au Sable Lodge, in the “casting” field.
We’ll have a large tent and a number of chairs for folks to be comfortable in, but I’d also recommend wearing “weather specific” clothing if the weather is nasty. Waders will be optional (that will be hendrickson time after all!). Food and drinks will be served sometime around noon. After that: relax, converse, go fishing, celebrate the river and Rusty in whatever way seems appropriate The Anglers of the Au Sable is sponsoring and organizing this event.
