I was poking through the posts that never were tonight and came across this one that I typed for our October trip that I did while waiting for the pics from everyone. I enjoyed reading it it so I’m posting it even though its a repeat of an earlier trip report. No Amount of planning [...]
This is strictly our fucking opinion, so don’t go getting your panties all in a bunch over what a couple of douche bags from Ohio had to say about what is what when it comes to beer drinking. But in response to a recent post by the American Homebrewers Assoc., we decided that list was [...]
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. [...]

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 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 [...]
