I took the dogs out last night at midnight. It was clear, cold as hell, and I could have sworn someone had installed a light above my garage that was shining on my backyard. Nobody did that. Why the hell would they? It was just the full moon on a cold, clear winter night in [...]

An Addiction to Streamer Fishing

A new guy’s view… September 22, 2009 1 Comment

This is a report from the “newbie” we took along with us for the  ASBWPA Clean Up. To be fair, this was not Scott’s first fly fishing trip so he really isn’t a true “newbie” but it was his first weekend on the Au Sable. We asked him to put together a little trip story [...]

Boats, boats, and more boats… April 29, 2009 2 Comments

Sometime last winter (2007) we decided that we absolutely had to have a boat for the upcoming season. We didn’t neccesarily think it had to be a drift boat (we didn’t think we could afford one) but whatever it was, it would surley act like a drift boat more often than not. We didn’t want [...]
