Current Conditions:
June 29
Hex are
still going
strong. Most
of the
angling
pressure has
moved
upstream but
there are
plenty of
bugs above
Mio.
Isonychia,
Lt. Cahills,
and olives
are
producing
good evening
dry fly
action in
the Trophy
Water.
It's time to
watch water
temperatures
closely. The
recent heat
wave pushed
morning
temps at Mio
above 70.
Carry a
thermometer
and check.
The best
fishing will
be early
mornings and
late
evenings in
riffle water
and
stretches
with ground
springs to
cool the
flow. Early
and late is
also the way
to avoid
canoe
traffic.

musky on a
streamer on
the Manistee
River during
the Trout

School.

ps: Stop in and see us at the Au Sable Angler for an honest fishing report, a good cup of coffee, vehicle spots, etc. We are 400 yards north of the Au Sable bridge, at the top of the hill.
Also, call the shop for information on other Michigan flyfishing rivers including the Upper Manistee River, Rifle River, Sturgeon River, Black River, Pigeon River, Betsie River, and the mouth of the Au Sable/Lake Huron shoreline fishing.
