Picture Perfect

A picture and a smile is worth a thousand word...


The Hex are going peak on the Au Sable right now and just getting heavy on the Upper Manistee.
Good luck getting out and catching a toad.  Above is a Jason with a football shaped Brown.

Night of the Hex DVD

Here it is...only 5 months away until we can chase trophy browns for real instead of watching them on DVD.  New from our pal at Third Year Fly Fisher.  One of the best filmed fly fishing DVDs you'll see.  Features footage from the Au Sable, Pm and Manistee. Get your copy here>>>>>LINK

Pere Marquette Report

Here is a report from our friend Jeff Hubbard @ Outfitters North

The Pere Marquette Trout fishing and Trout fishing around the area is still in full swing up here. The Hex fishing on the PM has been sporadic with bugs being inconsistent. Some nights are better then others. Night fishing with Mouse Flies has been picking up with the more humid weather were having. If the night bite isn't your thing the day time fishing has been great. Some good quality fish this year have been taken before the lights go out. Look for Terrestrial fishing to only get better in the months to come. If interested in some Fly-Fishing for Trout on the Pere Marquette I have a couple days left in August.

Pics 6/15,16,18,20: Barry joined me for a couple memorable days on the water with great fishing, wildlife viewing and no Anglers to be seen. Barry holds this trophy Rainbow caught on a Hopper Pattern. Here he is with a trophy Brown taken on a big Stimulator at dark. Barry spotted this little guy tucked up on the bank. (: These two Trout Bums did some hardcore night fishing this weekend. One day fishing till it was time to get Breakfast. Rich holds a really nice Brown taken on the Hex and Matt with one of his biggest PM Browns taken on a mouse pattern.

Michigan Hex Hatch

Don't give up yet! There are still bugs on the Au Sable and the Manistee River. Here's a nice fish taken on the Au Sable last night. Bugs are a bit patchy throughout the state but, BIG fish are still looking up! We'll probably have Hex through next weekend.

Now that’s a HEX hatch!

A good customer of ours set me some photos of a HEX hatch the encountered in Iowa this past week during his sons baseball game. I think the fish might have some problems distiquishing between your fly and a real bug. The best part about it...the game continued like there was nothing going on!!!! He said you couldn't see the score board because it was covered in HEX.
