What a day!
We first visited a unknown creek that is
full of little brown trout. STEALTH is all I can say on this venture folks. Those
fish were very spooky so care had to be taken on not spooking the fish. We aught some little brown trout and had a blast. We caught one on a hopper and and the others on nymphing. We had no players for the dry flies.
The photo below shows what the vegetation
and trees should look like along a creek or stream. If you look close to the right of the photo you can see the bright sunlight lighting up the water. You can actually see the vegetation in the stream. That's why trout have disappeared from many
streams in Michigan. I wished I had a real camera for this photo its really amazing how
just a little sun light was showing through. This photo does not do it justice. Also there was a huge temp difference, it was like
night and day. But through our logging practices from the past, it has taken its
toll on the fish and the habitat.

We also tied up some Steelhead Spey Flies yesterday. We copied guide Kevin Fenestra’s Grapefruit Leech pattern. Matt says it’s a puke fly. Meaning
in looks like someone threw up. But make no mistake, the fly shown here in the photo works great on Steelhead in Michigan.

We also stopped by a reservoir that was stocked
with Bass, Crappie and Bluegill. I ended up catching 3 Bluegills and 3 Bass
all on the fly. FUN, FUN, FUN! By the days end I was tired but fulfilled.
I then headed home and wrapped the day up some
dinner and then watched a movie with my lovely wife. This trip was not filled
with double digit fish by no means. Nor were the fish big. But I sure enjoyed the day, it was everything fly fishing. I will take that any day vs. working.
Life is good and way too short make the
most of it.
Regards and Tight Lines!

Salomon - Designed For Freedom
Yes this is a fishing blog and not an extreme sport blog. However it is my blog and I can do what I want. I feel this video is inspiring and promotes freedom for what ever it is you do. This short film has Unbelievable video shots and footage. But lets not forget where there's mountains, there is streams and in streams we have TROUT.
This weekend's weather is supposed to be awesome so get outside there's no better place to be.
Tight Lines.
