Fly Fishing on the Rogue River and White River Fly fishing on the Rogue River and White River on August 14 2021, was a particularly challenging but still enjoyable day. Both rivers were very high, fast, and dirty from a week of storms, but I had to take advantage of an off day to hit the water. Fished from about […]
Headed up to camp at Burton’s Landing State Forest Campground to kick off small stream trout season here in Michigan. Camped at Burton’s Landing Friday night (April 23). It’s a great little campground, with ample room to explore along the Au Sable River as well as space to camp. It is a $15 fee to camp overnight, and self registration. […]

The air temperature was right around 70 degrees and the skies were pretty clear, with some clouds here and there.Went out about 7:00 p.m. which was about an hour and a half after a good rain shower, so […]
Fly fished the Little Manistee River in the Manistee National Forest during the evening of July 9th and the morning of July 10th. Fished near one of the primitive camp sites just west of 6 Mile Bridge. It’s a beautiful and wild area, but road access is nice, especially with a graded dirt road along the north side of the […]

Water wasn’t that high, indeed it is only a foot or so above mid-summer levels last year, so wading wasn’t a problem. There are some […]

Fishing the Paint Creek July 19 2014. Fished two locations:The Clarkston Rd. access points as well the Childrens park in Lake Orion. At Clarkston Rd., there was very little action, the best I could manage was seeing a 20″ pike chase a creek chub that bumped my spinner. I did a nice trout in one of the holes, but the […]
