A few new Fishing Titles

   In addition to the large shipment of hunting books we received, we also got a bunch of new fishing books that cover everything from traditional small stream trout fishing to carp and saltwater fishing. Here are a few of the new ones:

Rivers of Sand: Fly fishing Michigan and the Great Lakes Region

 

       For all the Cincinnati folks that call some part of Michigan, home away from home, this is a good read.  The author, Josh Greenberg, is the owner of Gates Au Sable Lodge on the Au Sable river near Grayling.  Josh grew up fishing on the Au Sable and later working for Gates Lodge before owning the lodge.  Even just reading the introduction, the reader senses the deep love and respect he has for the Northern Lower Peninsula and the waters nearby.  This book is a mix of fishing know-how and good storytelling. 

Brookville Fishing Report

          I finally got out to Brookville Tailwaters for the first time in two months.  It was packed because it was the trout opener.  The water dropped from 3.7ft down to 2.9ft while we were over there.  It rained HARD all day.

new fly just arrived: Umpqua Bushwacker

    I was going through the Umpqua catalog and saw a fly that I thought looked like one of the best small baitfish patterns I had seen in a while. Sometimes flies are glorified in catalogs, but this one was exactly what I had hoped. We have it in Chartreuse/White and Tan/White and might be getting this fly in a few more colors with our next order, get 'em while they last!

There are a couple reasons I really like this fly. The first reason is the hook shape, the hook is a worm hook used by conventional fisherman. This hook has the ability the hook fish easily and remain weedless at the same time. The second reason I really like this fly is the shape.  As you can imagine, I'm pretty picky about my flies and the profile on this fly is great.
