The best season of the year is almost here! So many cool places to fly fish and enjoy Northern Michigan in the Fall. We have been looking forward to this for a long time and the new 2011 regs finally made it happen - The Big Waters of Au Sable below & above Mio are open year round now for catch & release fishing. The past few falls we have put a lot of time into learning how to catch giant brown trout on the Au Sable but our water was very limited to what was open. Now we have the best trophy water open in Michigan during the best time for big browns - Oct, Nov and Dec! October is also the month for Coho on Platte River, beginning of fall steelhead in lower Au Sable & Betsie River and the shoreline of Lake Huron for big trout (browns, lakers, steelhead). When it comes to fall steelhead our top month is November. This is just a great month for those that like to swing streamers. With the increase in numbers last fall on the lower Au Sable very much looking forward to that fishery this November! Many years December can be just like November but then other years it can be winter fishing.
