The
AuSable River
Trophy Waters
From the
dam in Mio to the backwaters of the Alcona pond, there
are over 30 “river miles” of free flowing water in this
tailwater fishery.
This is
“big water fishing” and if there were mountains in the
background, you would feel like you were fishing a large
western river.
There is
no better way to enjoy fly fishing than floating high
above the water casting to trout from the comfort of a
drift boat.
You will
cover more water in a day than you could wade in a
season, exploring sections of the river that see much
less fishing pressure.
Floating
the AuSable is very scenic with frequent views of bald
eagles, deer and mink, not to mention all three species
of resident trout.
All trips
include a cooked streamside dinner. Our guides are
licensed from Michigan’s DNR and commercially permitted
in the national forests. All equipment, except waders,
is provided. (Note: we rent waders for $10 per person
if needed)
We have
been given good reviews by Eric Sharp, outdoor writer
for the Detroit Free Press, Great Lakes
Outdoors TV show on Public television, Michigan
Woods N Waters magazine, Flint Journal and
Trout Unlimited’s magazine, Michigan Trout.
We
specialize in “beginners” and “family friendly trips” as
our trips do not include any alcohol, tobacco products
or colorful language.
Fly
fishing for us is a way of life and our guides do not
“watch the clock”. Owner, Michael Johnson is a third
generation fly fisherman.
All of
our guides really enjoy being out on the river. Our goal
is that by the end of the day we have taught each person
sufficient instructions so that they are ready to
explore fly fishing on their own.
So take a
day off work, invite your wife, child or friend and
create a memory on one of Michigan’s most famous rivers. |
