Rewind the calendar, early May weather is here! What a difference a few day makes here in Michigan, early week temperatures soaring into the mid and upper 90’s followed by what the body senses as a big chill, temperatures in the upper 50’s and low 60’s. The hatches have gone on a bit of a hiatus with only a short burst in the mid-evening hours bringing the trout to the surface. Isonychia have started and should gain in numbers as the weather improves. Daytime fishing has been pretty exciting, morning spinner falls are a good possibility with these cool nights we are now experiencing. Some epic streamer takes are also possible with the right flies, determination, and a bit of luck.
The last three days with the Hitchcock’s and Davis group have provided Jay, Don and I with some very enjoyable hours on the river with great people and many laughs! Thanks to both groups–we look forward to your return!
