I Live for fishing, anyone that knows me or ever been to my house and saw my shop/pffice/house lol....knows that. Every year I spend 2 weeks in July with the family (Mom, sis, Bro in law, Niece & nephew) at my cabin catching tons of fish fly fishing. I have a huge amount of pics to share which I will do over the next few days, but this is that start of them at least....

Awesome Pictures and your Rod/reel combo is SWEET
Thanks for sharing
-
Great pictures - thanks for sharing. Lots and lots of bronze backs!
-
Looks like you had a good time!
-
Looks like you had a fun trip.
Your niece is a cute kid, I did a double take when I saw the cat. It looks like a younger version of my wife's. God I hate that thing! Normally I like cats, but her cat sucks.

Looks like a good spot fishing. Now to try to ID those bridges so I can steal that honey hole. Lol.

Pike action was decent. I spent about 8-10 each day on the water though so definitely had to work for them.
Been a busy week so slow to upload, but here are some more. Still lots more to come too...

Here's somewhat of a rare/odd catch. Although whitefish are common near the Au Sable river mouth in the fall, I caught this one last week all the way upstream above all the dams where I had never seen one before. 17" as well so it wasn't a bad one either.

Nice haul Steve. Noticed you posted those pix early. Is that one secret to your success, you hook the fish when they are yawning first thing in the morning. lol

And that does it for the fish pictures from Vacation this year. All in all it was a very good trip to the cabin for vacation this year, caught a ton of fish and had a great time. Looking forward now to heading back in a couple weeks to chase some trout now that the mid summer high heat wave is over.
