North Branch Help?

[McDonaldoutdoors]

Fishing the NB of the Au Sable this weekend. Never fished it before. Can anybody give me some suggestions. What patterns i should whip up for the trip? Anything will help. Thanks for the help. :)

I'd have some black caddis ready to go, emerger and dry versions. Rusty spinners in #14, maybe little mahoganies. Don't know if Hendricksons are still emerging up there or not.

This past weekend they were. But they were dominated by black caddis in size 16 & 18. We would have waves of henni's come thru but it wasn't anywhere as consitant or in the numbers of the black caddis. Plenty of BWO's as well.

Thanks guys. But does that mean that the hennies are on the increase or decline? Should I focus on the Blk Caddis?
