We headed to our favorite river, the famed Pere Marquette.

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.
