Capt. Todd Fuller - Northern Michigan Fishing Report

The Spring Hatches are in Full Swing!
The river is in great shape and the bugs are hatching like crazy!!! I floated the North Branch yesterday with Gene and Tom and had a banner day of dry fly action. This was Tom's first time fly fishing and he just hammer the brookies with the Borcher's Special. With no bad habits, he picked up on the casting and mending very quick. Can not beat a 25 fish day on your first outing!! Nice job Tom.
We started off with dry flies and beadhead droppers. Hit a few nice fish on the droppers and it was not long till the fish were hitting the dry fly. We had Hendricksons, Caddis, Blue Wings, and huge stoneflies all day long. The high sun warmed the water and as evening approached the water was just boiling with trout.
It was a great day on the water and the best part is they get to do it all over again today! With rain and overcast skies in the forecast, we will be banging streamers for big browns today. Should be another wonderful day on the North Branch of the Au Sable.
Todd, Jamie, Bear, and Dave still have some prime dates available for May and June. They are filling fast so make sure you get your dates booked for your favorite hatch!!!! Take a look at your calendars and give us a call or email. 989-348-7951 - info@fullersnboc.com
Good day and good fishing!
