Weekend Summer Trout, 8/15 AuSable, Bigger and Badder, and of course, C&R ON THE FLY!

[Ladykiller]

Well in the first half hour I got this nice 20" pig after a few very nice runs and a jump.

Then Mike gets a nice 14.5" fish and we're getting really pumped now cause we've had alot of hits already.

Then I get this nice 14-15" fish

Then Mike gets a nice 15" fish but it slips out of his hands before we can get a pic.
Then I get this nice little 13" brownie.

And then at the last leg of our 2 hours of fishing, Mike loses his fly to a tree. So I have had enough fun for the night and just hand him my 7wt so he does not have to retie and I watch him fish. Second cast, this nice 20" pig.

Then we called it a night. 6 fish, 2 hours, 20 or so hits and the night was still young....

[Steve]

Nice fish!

[kienbaumer]

Tim, I'm Still Geeked from last night......hehe Its kinda funny how i thought August to be a slow month for fishing. Last night changed my mind!! Thanks for showing me how its done and letting me use your 7wt.:D

[gunrod]

That's some excellent fishing. I agree, August sucks.;)

[Ladykiller]

Mice and streamers!!! Speaking of which, when you gonna get some free time? We need to make a trip out and I've got plenty of sinkers ready for ya too.

[WEEZER]

Good job guys, I'm looking at the weather right now and it looks like you outta slay them again tonight especially if you hit new water. I'd havta say that the rain helped out the fish movements or something to that effect.

Fishing has ben red hot the past couple of weeks. too bad I spend 50-60 hours at work!

Sept 8-10th mark your calendars guys, I'm talking low pressure and no moon! here I come!!

[kienbaumer]

I went up again tonight with my buddy steve and had two hits at a different spot. Every bend we to had a cabin with a flood light on....grrrrr. We only had two good hits thats all.

I stopped by where Ladykilller and riveboy were fishing and they had gotten a 13" 16" and 17" so far tonight and they were still fishing.

Great report!

[trout]

Very nice looking fish!
Hey Mike that one fish appears to have a damaged eye, or is it just the angle of the shot?
Someday I hope to catch a beauty like those fish.
Next to brookies I think browns are great!

[kienbaumer]

Trout, i didn't notice it until i saw the pic, yesterday. It looks like its damaged to me but it could be a weird camera angle. It was funny, when we landed the smaller ones 13-15" before we shined the light on them we would say i hope its a brookie. lol

[WEEZER]

That's all they ended up with last night, I'm heading up afterwork to hit some new night water with Ladykiller. It's that spot where we had really good luck with streamers this spring.

[kienbaumer]

You guys should be able to pop a few 20's there...hehe...I'm more excited than when i got my Buck. Hopefully i will be up there during the week. I'm thinking about trying that area where i broke my 6wt. (below the Bridge) Good Luck tonight!!

[riverboy]

We didnt fish much longer after you guys left. Im hoping Tim will post the pics when he gets home. Good Luck Weezer wish I could make it!

[brmara]

Weezer/Riverboy,

Let me know when you guys are going back up to the SB - I'll go with you and maybe we can actually meet!

I'd like to hit some smallies this week too - let me know if you are interested and what night would be good.

Brian

[Ladykiller]

grrrr....sep 8-10 sucks! sun, mon, tues!!! that following wknd though looks promising though. maybe right before the "no moon" too.

brmara .... as for new peeps coming up to learn mousin, groups of two seem to be working best and the "no moon" period will have all the mousers out. Chances are i'll be tagging up with mike, scott, or rick...not sure yet but I'm done training new mousers for the year, there is not alot of mousin season left in my opinion.

[riverboy]

I agree Tim those days are no good for me either! But Ill definitly be there the weekend before and after!

brmara
Pretty busy this week possibly next week Monday for smallies. Let me know!

[kienbaumer]

I'm up from the weekend before, after and a couple days in between....o wait should salmon start on the east side by then...o well i just won't sleep. ;)
