August is coming soon and a great month for fly fishing in Northern Michigan! Two big hatches in the Big Waters of the Au Sable River - dark hex and white flies. Both can produce some excellent dry fly fishing for trout and smallmouth. July and August are excellent times for smallmouth fly fishing throughout the lower Au Sable and its backwaters. Look for dark hex to start in late July and White Flies by mid August. Chinook Salmon starts in North West Michigan in August and we are doing float trips full time by the 15th. This mid August is just an super time to chase these big Kings with streamers either in the rivers or around the river mouths depending on conditions. Lake Michigan shoreline can produce some excellent fly fishing in August and September. September is peak month for river salmon on the Betsie River and hard to beat the Platte River when the Coho start coming. September and October is the time to get the big streamers back out on the Au Sable and starting looking for those giant browns.
