Some pics from the weekend
« on: May 05, 2013, 06:14:35 PM »
Hit the Au Sable over the past few days for steelhead. There were some fish in the river but warm weather and crowds made the steelhead bite tough. So we switched to trout in the upper reaches of the river. The recent rains still had the water level high and stained, so we switched to "Plan C". That's why I love the Au Sable, there is always a section that will give up fish when the other sections are not fishable. First couple smallies of the year as well as my buddy Mark getting his first pike of the year.

I have about 18,000 rounds of .223 I'm  looking to get rid of, 100 rd bags. 1-4 bags $40 ea, 5-9 bags $38 ea, 10 or more bags $35 ea. I can't put this in the for sale section, its not fish related. No shipping.

I've been into it for about 23 years now. I've been a very avid fisherman my whole life but back in my senior year of high school about the time I was 18 yrs old I came across my grandfathers fly rod after he passed away and that got me started in fly fishing. Now it's been pretty much my whole life every since then.

Yeah, for the last 8 years I quite my job as a certified welder to start my own custom fly rod business. I don't make quite what I did as a welder, but it has been pretty successful, and as the saying goes, when you do what you love you never work a day in your life 8)
