June was a good month for us here in Northern Michigan and I spend it chasing Big Browns in the dark on the Brown Drake, Iso and Hex hatches. All was pretty much right on schedule with pretty much ideal weather until late June. Then came the heat and that has pretty much shut down the Au Sable. At that time I was off guiding on some of the smaller cold creeks and streams further north here in Michigan. It all started in late May and lasted to mid July and we covered 5 rivers – my favorite time of the summer! Now its time to break out the mice patterns and some all night floats.
