Drifter 851 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Just returned home from 3 full days on the Au Sable. Couldn't have had a better trip. My fishing buddy & I were using the new spey rods I just built for us and not only did they work wonders in spots too tight for normal single handed fly rods, but the trout Gods were kind to us and most the trout on the spey rods were all very nice fat healthy 16" to 18" Rainbows and browns. Really enjoyed using the spey rods, won't be giving up my single handers anytime soon, but will for sure be grabbing the spey on a regular bases on trips. A great time with a good friend catching great trout on what to me is the most beautiful river anywhere. Now it's time to finish a couple rods orders and tie some streamers to restock the flies I lost on this trip and then get ready to head back up for another 3 days in about a week.

GazzaGarratt 11,146 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Love the pics Steve, especially the last one (real action shot ) The rainbow fish are really beautiful, my son thought so too. Looks like you had good weather too. Do you just go to this river or do you have a few more that you do for trips?

Drifter 851 Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 I do probably 90% of my fly fishing on the Au Sable. My parents started taking me up there to it before I was even a year old, and my grandpa had been going to it since the 1930's so it's really something that has been instilled into me from day 1 more or less. Love that river and would rather fish it than any other place in the world to be honest. Just has a different feeling for me when I am there than anywhere else.

GazzaGarratt 11,146 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 When you go next week try and take some videos and see if you can upload them on youtube and link them here. It does look like a place you can lose yourself in.

Drifter 851 Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 I did a video of various spots on the Au Sable about 4-5 years ago. Let me see if I can find it..... Here it is, this video is shot all on the Au Sable but just on a few different locations where I fish on the river. The 2 minute long segment that starts at 1:50 in the video is where I trout fish all the time Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/4449-3-days-on-the-au-sable/#findComment-90029 Share on other sites More sharing options...
