Today was one of those days, I got the text at 6:30 this morning the my fishing partner was sick. This actually really rare with the group of guys I fish with, so I was caught off guard with no back-up plans.

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.

Tight lines,

Heading up to the big woods for the weekend to play in the snow with some predators. Meeting up with our good friend and living legend Bob Patrick with Rare Earth Predator Calls. This trip should make for another memorable FLG road trip!

Well it official, Spring has arrived here in mid Michigan and our food plots are looking amazing! The deer have absolutely hammered these food plots all Winter with the lack of snow cover here most of the season. With this early Spring and unseasonably warm temperatures the food plots are just blowing out of the ground and looking beautiful!

We have put away our predator gear and started warming up the turkey calls. This is going to be a hot turkey season with a lot of action so far this year! Stay tuned everyone

Nothing quite like enjoying a beautiful spring day fly fishing for steelhead with my brother. Always a good time.
