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 [...]

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 [...]

An Addiction to Streamer Fishing
 
He has a serious problem, this man. Some would call it a sickness. He’s a junkie of the worst kind and he knows it, lying and cheating to get what he needs, reckless in the pursuit of his much-needed fix.
He is the Streamer [...]

The wife and I are headed to Detroit this evening to check out an opening of Dennis Hayes IV paintings and sculpture. I bought a painting from Dennis a few years ago and hopefully will be able to buy another one tonight.
Edit:
If you live in the Detroit area you need to go see this. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Jesus. When someone catches a smalll mouth on the fly this big, what do you say? “Holy mother of Christ that thing is just fucking sloppy!” comes to mind. I won’t say who sent me this (read on) or where it came from. I’m not even tagging this post too much because I can’t even [...]

Summer fishing is my favorite time of year. Specifically any local stream in the evening chasing smallies. Caufield and I hit the River Raisin last week and did pretty well and even saw a White Fly hatch…Good times.

 
There really isn’t much that I can say about this except that it was fly caught, it wasn’t the biggest one, and you can read about it here.

Hit the Au Sable a few weeks ago for a few days to fish the hex hatch and since I was there we didn’t really find any bugs. It figures. Why would one of the founders of a site called Hatchless expect any bugs? I guess it isn’t entirely true because we did fish a [...]
