Here’s a quick report from Gene along with some pics.
Mike and I fished with Kelly on September 30th. Kelly did a [...]

ASBWPA Clean up, Sept. 06, 2008

Instead of doing the Gates Clean up this year a few of us decided to go down to Mio and do a float and clean trip on a stretch of the Au Sable that really needs all the help it can get. The Trophy Waters get pounded by canoe traffic and those of you that have [...]

CARP!

Yes they are quite unattractive. Ask anyone that has been lucky enough to get one on the fly and they will tell you that the battle is well worth having to come face to face with anything this hideous.

White Bass Bonanza

As many of you already know the white bass are in pretty thick right now in the Maumee. For us fly anglers it seems the big trick is (no surprise) water clarity and hitting it on a day when there actually is some.  Mike and I hit it last Friday and there was 4-6″ of [...]
