As we enjoy the Christmas holidays with our families & maybe sneak away for a few hours to wet a line, we should sit back & thank the brave few who have made it possible for us to live the lives we are used to. Fishing is so much more than just casting a fly rod, it is an escape from reality. Nothing frees your mind from the thoughts that fog your senses like wading into a river to pursue a fish. This year for Christmas, thank someone in your life that made it possible for you to enjoy your passion in life.

Merry Christmas & Thanks to all veterans!

This is how it’s done here in the Yoop when it comes to Deer hunting! I thought this picture was sweet & hopefully everyone enjoys it!

Jay Hillier of Hetrick Insurance here in Marquette, MI needed the extra help from his Boston Whaler to get these bucks out. Heavy snows & cold weather has been good for deer hunters this year, providing some good tracking snows & keeping big bucks like these on the move! Congrats Jay!

Winter has set in here across Michigan Upper Peninsula-daylight hours are getting shorter & water temps are downright cold! Our Fall fishery is now history as fish have moved into their Winter homes-slow, deep, dark explains what they are looking for. These areas the Steelhead, Coho and Trout don’t have to waste much energy to grab an easy meal as it comes tumbling by. There are still plenty of fish around-but with the cold water be prepared to spend a little more time on the water to get your fix!  No warm up forecasted in the near future-looks like ice fishing is going to start up soon!
