Fishing Report 5.26.22

Posted on May 26, 2022 By ron

I know what you’re thinking upon viewing this…it has been a long time since I’ve posted a fishing report.  The fishing has picked up nicely the past 2 weeks, and the weather looks good for the weekend with temps in the mid 70’s to mid 80’s and only a small margin of the likelihood ofRead more >>

Fishing Report 6.5.19

Posted on June 5, 2019 By ron

The fishing has been slow to good at best with some very good days, but they have been few and far between.  I know it sounds bad to report such news, but Ronda and I are all about telling the truth.  Please do not be swayed by others who might tell you that the fishingRead more >>

Fishing Report 4.28.19

Posted on April 28, 2019 By ron

Well another opening day has come and gone, and it was an uneventful one in terms of fishing at best. All signs were pointing to a good hendrickson hatch…the water temps were above 52 degrees at Parmalee and Mio for 5 days running (51 degrees is the optimal number), and bugs should have been thereRead more >>

Fishing Report 8.1.18

Posted on August 1, 2018 By ron

We are in full swing with terrestrials now….hoppers, bees, ants, etc… Trico’s are also going strong in the morning and small olive’s with large spinner drops of them in the evening (last hour before dark). On a recent trip (somewhere in North America)  I was able to take our son Trevor and a friend (toRead more >>

Greetings Everyone! We’re finally open for the season!  We attended 2 Fly Fishing related shows over the winter…the Cincinnati show and the Mid-West Fly Fishing Expo!  Both events had many attendees, and as in the past, renewing old acquaintances and making new ones is really the crux of these type of events.  We are alreadyRead more >>

Fishing Report 10.4.17

Posted on October 4, 2017 By ron

It’s surely been a while since I had the time to write a bonafide fishing report, thus, my sincere apologies! This past summer was one of the best trout fishing seasons I’ve seen in a long time, therefore, we’ve been quite busy!  My guess that the fishing was so good was partly due to theRead more >>

Fishing Report 6.28.16

Posted on June 28, 2016 By ron

Good Day All! Hex have been going strong for over a week now, and are already showing signs of weakening in some areas.  Temps were high last week, along with high dewpoints and warm evenings raised the water temps into the low 70’s causing slower or even an entire lack of feeding for a lotRead more >>

Fishing Report 6.14.16

Posted on June 14, 2016 By ron

The shop has been as busy as a bee hive, hence the lateness is getting this fishing report out to all of you.  Hex will be showing up strong in the next 2-3 days.  Lake Margrethe outside of Grayling a short distance, has had Hex hatching for 5 nights now.  It usually takes about 7-10Read more >>

Fishing Report 6.2.2016

Posted on June 2, 2016 By ron

L.O.S. (Lack of Sleep).  It’s a disease that strikes the hardiest of fly fisherman this time of year. Red, puffy, blurry eyes, and an almost Zombie appearance are typical symptoms.  Luckily for those who are afflicted, there is hope…and a cure.  The remedy is to simply catch a trout!  Some may argue that no ordinaryRead more >>
