the West Branch of the AuSable River

Post by rosegui »

The fishing is very good down here on the West Branch of the AuSable River. There are all sorts of hatches taking place - caddis, mayfly, yellow stones, etc - so the trout are rising if you like surface activity. Also, the trout are taking stick caddis if you like nymphing. Managed to land a number of rainbows and browns - caught a nice very fat 16 inch brown a couple of days that put up a great fight for a good 5 minutes or so- using 6x time casting size 18-20 drys so it takes a while to land a decent size fish.
