Spring has been a little slow in coming this year but starting to feel a lot like it now. Had our heavy April snow storm last weekend and hopefully those are over now. This week all that snow melted and some heavy rain has put the Au Sable River in a high state with some […]
Been having a great time chasing Atlantic Salmon on the Au Sable and Thunder Bay Rivers! Both tributaries of Lake Huron get an excellent run. At first most thought of this fish to just enter rivers for a fall spawning run but it’s been more than that. Been fishable numbers since late September thru now! […]
Coho haven’t been stocked in Lake Huron since 1989 and are returning. Starting this spring 100,000 coho will be stocked in Lake Huron. The stocking schedule will be in 2 ports this spring Thunder Bay River and Sanilac this year and Au Sable River and Harbor Beach in 2020 and then rotate back and forth […]
Still decent numbers of Atlantic Salmon in the river now. Mostly drop back fish that spawned in late fall or winter months. A few bright chrome ones are starting to show up at the mouth and down around the town of Oscoda. Tom and Paul found some nice ones last week! Finally some warm nights […]
Some slow run off the past week has the Au Sable up a bit and water temps are slowly climbing. Steelhead fishing keeps improving with some winter fish getting active and some bright chrome coming in from Lake Huron. Been some good size steelhead this year like the one that Barry got on Friday. A […]
We have not seen these in the past years but this March some wonderful Atlantic Salmon have shown up in the Au Sable. At first these fish were thought to be just a fall run fish but since they dont die after they spawn some have been sticking around all winter. This year for some […]
We got the big blast of spring weather late last week and steelhead are coming into the Au Sable now. River is in great shape now as it came up about a foot – no flooding at all compared to west side rivers. Warm temps did not stick around long and back to a winter […]
Been decent numbers of Atlantic Salmon in the Au Sable River this winter and recent spring has them on the feed. John got this one on yesterday’s float. These Atlantics love structure and not deep water. Makes the lower Au Sable ideal for them with tons of logs. Streamers don’t have to fished very deep […]
Just what the Au Sable needed – a good rain and finally some snow melting! Still lots of snow and ice around but finally the first sign of spring. The lower river is in great shape now and came up about a foot. Its running clear and a nice green shade. Bright chrome steelhead are […]
Eric picked up his new Topwater Boat this winter in Arkansas and now there will be two of them on the Au Sable/Northern Michigan this spring. Can’t say enough about workmanship and the design of these boats! These skiffs run faster, ride higher in the water and row better than any boat I have been […]
