This is by far the most difficult fishing of the year-cold clear water conditions have been present for months & fish just aren’t interesting in eating much.  Ice has moved back in on the big pond, so offshore options are gone for now. Good opportunities for some cool pictures of the rivers in winter mode-but not so good of fishing! I am sure ready for Spring, my arsenal of fly boxes are more stocked than ever right now I think!  It seems every Winter that the anticipation for Spring grows even stronger.  I can only explain it to be like a child at Christmas time, but instead of a wrapped present it’s a chrome Steel on the other end of the line.

Stop by Colton Bay Outfitters in Ann Arbor, Mi March 5 @ 6 pm-we will be presnting a slide show on fly fishing here in Michigan’s U.P..  It is always a good time to sit back & chat about the upcmoing season!

A few dates open for Spring Steelhead-guaranteed to be more fun than your day job!
