 Hexamania!
Ever fished the giant Michigan mayfly Hexagenia Limbata,
a.k.a. Hex? If you have you are well acquainted
with the phrase "things that go bump (splash) in the night"!
The Au Sable river is well know for it 's
hex hatch & large nocturnal Brown Trout. Gary will be
hosting a 3 day trip to Mac's Island on the Au Sable river
June 19, 20 and 21st. Lodging & food provided. The price
of the outing is $330.00. Fish with Gary
or on your own. Guides can be arranged and are recommended.
Call the shop for details.
 Another new trip for us this year, we will be taking adventuresome fly fishers up to
Beaver
Island Michigan (at the northern end of Lake Michigan) and
fish for three days for Carp. Vary similar to flats
fishing for bonefish you will be poling and walking the flat
in northern Lake Michigan and cast to 20 pound plus Carp.
Fly fishing for carp has been gaining in popularity over the
past 10 years and now is the time to get out and see what it
is all about. You will be surprised as to just how
challenging these fish can be to catch on a fly rod.
We have two groups going up in June for three days of great
fishing. Plus, Beaver Island is a great place to get
away from it all for a few days. Check out our
Beaver
Island page on our web site for the detail and then give us
a call to book your spot. This one is going fast.

Sylvania Wilderness Smallmouth |
We will be sending another group up to the Sylvania
Wilderness are this year for some great smallmouth
fishing. In the past we have done trips to this
area and gone the wilderness route; tents, portaging and
paddling. This year we will be taking it a little
easier and staying in a cabin on Crooked lake. We
will be fishing for five days in July which is one of
the best times for smallmouth in this area.
Crooked lake allows trolling motors, if you have one,
otherwise the local outfitter can supply us with canoes,
kayaks and boats. Reports from people last year
that their "arms ached" after a day of fishing for
smallmouth. Crooked lake also have a great
population of largemouth bass, Northern Pike and [big]
bluegill. We have already sold a few spots on this
trip and are certain it will go fast.
Don't forget, you can always book day outings with
FlyMasters to fish for smallmouth, wipers, white bass, brown
trout, rainbow trout, drum, and anything else that swims in
Indiana. Call us and will will show you just what kind
of great fly fishing is right out your back door!
