Too Hot
May 20th, 2012Whew, quite the warm up weather wise here in the U.P., air temps in the mid 80’s have it feeling like mid summer. Trout fishing has progressed rapidly with this warm up and water levels are very low. A nice storm is upon us as I am writing this report, hopefully it will generate some substantial runoff from the rain. A smorgasbord of aquatic insects have been coming off in vagarious locations- BWO’s, Caddis, March Browns & a few Sulphurs are around. Look like a cool off this week, a much needed relief from the unseasonable heat. Please check out this new article by journalist Howard Meyerson of Michigan, a piece on the proposed Brook Trout limit increase here in the U.P. by Mi DNR. Howard interviews several Phd’s in fisheries biology that are experts on Brook Trout here Upper Peninsula and gets their opinion on this proposal. Please sign the online petition I have created to oppose the Brook Trout limit increase here. I will be providing this petition to MI DNR this week, thanks for the support!
