Dam nice to see. November 1, 2011 No Comments

I’m not going to pretend to know anything about this river. I do enjoy watching this sort of destruction. Awesome. Best of all. I’m glad to see that the smoke monster from LOST found a new gig. One that really makes a difference. Pause the video at about the 25 second mark and see Smokey [...]

Rise Rod Co. February 20, 2011 No Comments

I just placed my order for a Rise Level 7 wt. If it doesn’t get to my house before April 1 that is just fine by me. I won’t fish it until after then anyway because I bought it for chucking big streamers at browns on the Au Sable. That season opens on the 1st [...]

Fly Fishing Film Tour, Toledo stop February 1, 2011 No Comments

Come out and support the Titan Fly Fishers and watch some freakishly inspiring films! The Titans event will also be featuring some of the Midwest’s top guides and fly tyers tying up some of their favorite local patterns for catching Midwestern finned critters. I think this is the least amount you’ll pay to see the [...]

2010 Review January 8, 2011 No Comments

2010 was a strange year. That’s really all I can say about it. Was it kind of uninspiring? Yeah… Kind of. There hasn’t been a post here for a long time and the reason for that I guess is that we have been “wholly uninspired”. But then I really thought about it and the more [...]

I received the email below from Tom Buhr today. Tom is the president of a grass roots organization that focuses on the Au Sable river in MI. He is the man we all wish we could be when it comes to having the balls and energy to fight the good fights and get motivated on [...]

Another Hatchless Boot Review. Patagonia Riverwalkers. September 29, 2009 No Comments

Why another boot review? Because I love these fucking boots and they deserve it. That’s why. I’m fairly certain that I bought these last year and they were closeouts from 2007. If someone knows differently, I stand corrected. Patagonia is, as most of us know, expensive gear that is worth what you pay for it. [...]

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 [...]

Au Sable clean ups are coming up fast! Saturday Sept. 12th! August 26, 2009 No Comments

There are a few Au Sable clean ups coming and both are well worth the time spent. You never know what you’re gonna find either. People lose all kinds of interesting shit out there. My first year I found a pretty damn nice boat anchor. Shoulda kept that but at the time I didn’t have [...]
