You know it’s been a busy summer when it’s been more than a
month since you have posted a fishing
This has been one of the warmest summers I can recall. July
was brutal at times and that, along with the lack of rain, made finding cool
water a challenge during the hottest stretches. August has been better in terms
of rain, but we are still experiencing hot temperatures. That being said, the fishing has still been
good. Stimulators have been the magic fly this summer, the larger, the better.
The fish have been keying into hoppers on certain days as well, although they
have not been as ravenous about them as last year. The streamer bite remains
slow and nymphing well … nymphing always works.
In case you missed it, the U.P. Fly Angler was recently featured
in a Midcurrent photo essay by Dave Karczynski. Make sure you check out his fine work.
Fall is approaching rapidly and some trees are already changing
colors. The thimbleberries are ripe and you really need to be “bear aware” this
time of year. I spooked a bear out of a patch this week, an experience that’s pleasurable
for neither man nor beast.
We still have some openings for the end of August, the end
of September, and early October so contact us to book a trip. Cooler days and hot fishing are still ahead.
