John O. with a dandy on a ugly fly
Now is the time to swing the big flies, as our lake-run rainbows from Lake Michigan are not so focused on the egg bite. November historically is one of the best months and this year is no different as fish are on the hunt for something more.
I love trying to get these jumping pictures almost as much as I love it when customers hook into these amazing fish. Some prime time michigan lake-run rainbow fishing is taking place “right now”!
Getting an October day off, in the tail end of Sandy as the wind has started to die down gave me a chance to bring out the big gun and swing with the two-hander. Running the Extreme Intermediate Skagit from SA, my favorite fall line by the way, found some nice fish to play with.
With everything going on with Sandy hitting the East Coast found a new site, that gives you a different look at the wind. Check out the site – http://hint.fm/wind/index.html
Fall Steelhead do some crazy and wild things, trying to capture these events on film are almost as hard as getting one to eat on a tight line. Streamer season has started and let the games begin.

Sunrise in the morning steelhead anglers take warning. I love the fall colors and this morning they were on full display.
