Spent the past 2 days back on the Au Sable with my good friend Mark chasing trout. Had to cut the trip 1 day short due to a big storm that knocked the power in town/motel out, but we can't complain because the fishing was outstanding. Spent the morning's & mid day's stripping streamers on the spey rods and the evenings fishing dries on the 4wt's and had just an unreal time catching nice healthy browns & rainbows up to 18" with a vast majority of them being in the 13"-16" range. I turned the OD of the grip on my spey rod I built down a bit before this trip and it was just what I needed. It's so much more comfortable now I felt really good with the two handed rod and was throwing 80ft casts with ease this time. Excellent trip with a great friend with tons of beautiful good size Au Sable trout put in the net, just does not get much better than that.
