Went a little crazy with this one, but rowing down the river in complete darkness throwing mammal flies is a little crazy too.

Michigan Mousing
Monday, August 8th, 2011dry flies for carp
Thursday, August 4th, 2011Mousing for browns. Sealing for sharks. Why not dry flies for carp? We don’t have this on Beaver Island. Which is probably good. Because it would blow my mind.
“mousing” for “browns”
Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011It’s shark week on the Discovery Channel and I’ve caught a couple shows that involve towing a seal decoy behind a boat in order to get a great white to the surface. Reminds me a lot of mousing for browns. I posted another of these videos over on Facebook the other day, but I can’t get enough. So here’s another one. I’m telling you, brown trout at night are just like these great whites. Just a bit smaller. And I imagine the seal “flies” rarely get hung up in cedars.
Night of the Hex
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011Robert Thompson was kind enough to send us copies of Night of the Hex and Musky Country the other day for review. I’ve watched both and they are awesome. Full reviews coming. But for now I’d just like to mention the frustration we’re feeling here on the Pere Marquette at the rather late beginning of hex season. We’ve been getting hit with rain and thunderstorms for the last two days. The bugs have been popping here and there and some people have hit it right, but mostly it’s been frustrating.
Not that this is much different from a typical hex season, as is clearly documented in Night of the Hex. Dodging thunderstorms is just part of hex season. But let’s hope for some clearer weather in the near future as the bugs are ready to explode.
If things stay in good shape, next week should be good. Check out the trailer for Night of the Hex.
