The river was a little high, an while we caught fish it was not gang busters. We caught fish on top water but the best bite was deep. I guess the fish thought it was too hot as well.

We had a great evening! Getting outside and exploring is always better then being inside and comfortable. We determined this section should be fished more, and had a couple good laughs, that were mostly at my expense! Most of all we were outside enjoying this beautiful state we live in.

Get outside and explore,

Well, we just back from Alaska! I think I can speak for all of the guys, and say we did not want to come home. The fishing was everything that Alaska should be! We caught fresh Sockeyes one day, and chased Silver Salmon the next day. We were able to explore six different river systems, caught some nice trout and Dollys.

Best of all we had a blast just like every FLG trip. We shot almost 300 minutes of video, so get ready for a kick butt show. I think this footage is some of the best we have ever shot!

We are holding out with some of our best shots, but I thought I would post a bit of a preview for you all! I hope you enjoy!

Watch for some great content coming from FLG headquarters over the next few weeks, and if you are getting impatient do not be afraid to let Opie know that you need to see some film!

So what to do when the sun is shinning and warming up? I took my chocolate lab Georgia to chase some bunnies. She is getting a little older and honestly is a horrible rabbit dog, I tried to tell her to stick to ducks and pheasants, but when she sees a gun come out she will not be left behind.

We had a wonderful walk and a expected saw zero bunnies. The funny thing is I didn’t care and neither did she. It was wonderful to get outside, but I would have much rather been on the river playing with some fresh steelhead. Spending time with my dog and just slowing down is good for the soul.

I am happy to say that my skunk has been lift as the river rewarded my hard work with this beauty on my second cast! My new Mystic switch rod was amazing.

We ended up landing four nice steelhead, and a couple of trout!

It was an amazing day on the river with a great friend.

See you on the river!

Fall Steelhead fishing is in full swing. We hit the Pere Marquette river yesterday, and found low and clear water. We never connected with a fish, but we sure had a good time. It’s days like this that make you realize you don’t have to catch fish to have fun, but its more fun when you do.

Lots of dead King Salmon dead after spawning. They give the river this great rotting flesh scent.

Have a great day,

When we arrived at the butt crack of dawn we encountered a Clackacraft traffic jam…. I knew it was going to be a busy day on the river.

The fishing was tough, the fish were there but because of the warm spring we have had, the fish had seen almost every fly know to man! I managed to hook up first with this beauty.

Not to be out done Dad landed this amazing female not a half hour later!

Overall, we could have landed more fish. Going 2 for 12 is not normal but I was thankful to spend a wonderful day on the river.

Heading North to the Pere Marquette river with Doc. Driving through the storm on our way to chase some chrome steelhead. The report is that the fish are in and they are hot. We’re going to see if we can’t play with a few and enjoy this warm spring weather.

Luat was very happy with this sucker… Maybe because it was his first fish of the day?

He redeemed himself with this amazing wintered over steelhead!

It always nice to get out and fish.
