Any reports on the Ausable?

[WEEZER]

I've kinda lost track of the Ausable in the last couple of weeks. Anybody fishing there??? I need a water temperature report or a fish # report. Any redds showing up? If you know where there are redds DON'T TELL ME THE LOCATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I fished it last thurs and saw a few redds and fish. the water is still very cold due to ice on the pond yet. Its running ice water. I sight fished on redd for 2 1/2 hours b4 catching a nice 11lb hen. Don't worry you haven't missed it yet. It seems everyone think its been here and gone but not the case. Not sure why you don't want to know the locations of the redds but if you decide you want to know email me I'd be glad to tell ya. P.S. make sure you read my response to breathable waders.

Thanks for the report. HMMM the Ausable is way behind compared with the three other East side rivers I've been fishing! That's good It will prolong the run a little longer.
Thanks for the offer on redd locations but I know basically where to look.
Next time try a tiny champagne gloBug with a fire orange dot! for some reason they have been WHACKING THEM ( Especially the bucks!)

By reading Gmasches' report and picking out the context it would seem easy to tell where the redds are that he was fishing. Thats OK, I have no intention on going anywhere near there!
We are planning a trip up this weekend, it will be good to be back on the AuSable again.
Thanks for the report!
