The blog of Trophy Waters Fly Shop and Guide Service

June update

Brown drakes are now heavy on the upper Au Sable as well as the Trophy Waters section.  This week the water is high and a little dirty due to the recent rains, so exercise caution when wading the deeper stretches.  Isonychias and iso nymphs are also prevalent.  You may have better luck with brown drake emergers than with the duns.  Still plenty of sulphurs around, and a good choice might be yellow or black stoneflies.  No Hex have been reported yet, but they should be coming soon, as long as these rains don’t keep them away.  Hex will show up on the upper Au Sable as well as the lower waters east of McKinley Bridge.  There’s a lot to choose from, so have fun!
