The Old Au Sable Fly Shop Fishing Report Welcome to the white-tailed deer rifle season in Northern Michigan. We had an early cold snap that brought with it a blanket of snow. Snow is welcomed by all deer hunters. It makes it easier to spot the brown ungulates as they sneak through the spruces and makes tracking animals easier. That’s especially welcomed by grateful hunters who have to follow up a mortally wounded buck. Blood -

September 11, 2017 The Old Au Sable Fly Shop Fishing Report And just like that Summer is over. Our spectacular Spring fishing stirs the beehive of activity and the shop doors swing open and shut with eager anglers for many months until Summer’s crescendo. Labor Day inflates our local population by tenfold and then, on that first September Tuesday, the southbound traffic drains the people from woods and waters of Northern Michigan leaving the outdoors to deer and grouse and... -

December 8, 2016 The Old Au Sable Fly Shop Fishing Report Good news and happy day. I guess my last report was just a bit premature. I talked, last week, about how I’d passed on a good number of one and a half year old bucks and was leaving the 2016 white-tailed deer season okay with my decisions but empty handed. Well, I -

November 28, 2016 The Old Au Sable Fly Shop Fishing Report. It’s been a turbulent 2016 Deer Rifle Season here in Northern Michigan. The thermometer in my truck read temperatures from seventy degrees all the way down to a chilly, nine degree morning start. We had everything from Summer to Winter in a sixteen day season. The drastic changes and short-lived weather patterns made it difficult predict deer movements and plenty of hunters (at least in my circle of friends) end... -

November 19, 2016 The Old Au Sable Fly Shop Fishing Report. It’s been an exciting couple of weeks in the woods. I’ve been neck deep in one last push for grouse and thick in a battle of wits with bucks from my bow stand. I had a pile of close encounters with good bucks on the front end of the rut last week. There were the two sets of two bucks fighting in the field just out of range. And there was the trio of bucks hounding one frazzled looking doe. All three came i... -

November 4, 2016 The Old Au Sable Fly Shop Fishing Report. Hate to see October slip by. I wish there were at least two of them. I’d say six, but there’s no sense in getting greedy, I guess. That...
