This past Saturday I was at Mike’s for dinner and he reminded me of a funny time we had on the Huron this winter searching for random steelhead. We were in the boat and I was in the back of the boat which is a rare occurrence since I am a whiny drift boat owner [...]

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 [...]

Closing weekend of 2010 was a pretty damn good time. It was a “Randy trip”. The story below will explain what that means to me and, what I would like to think and am probably right in doing so, the rest of us. There is a bit of an explanation to go along with it. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

In an earlier post I said I would follow up on the trip to the Au Sable and tell the story of the drift boat so here it is. I’ll keep the boat story short but remember I said it has been four long years. Most everyone I know has been tired of hearing about [...]

I have waited for this day for four long years and it is finally here. Maiden voyages require a christening of some sort don’t they? I believe I have a little of this laying around. We’ll see if that works. No, I will not smash any bottles on the bow but I’m sure that by [...]

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 [...]
