5-7-14 Fishing and Stuff

Wow, my last month has been like a high speed chase. Between guiding, working on our new Home/Studio so we can move in at the end of May, a massive order in my current studio headed for Alberta, Canada and cutting 5,000 Zudbubbler bodies for wholesale orders...  life has been a bit much lately. Am I complaining... not for one second! I am so thankful for the incredible blessings God has placed in my life, my barns are filled and my vats are overflowing... but I will admit I am looking forward to taking a few days off for R&R once we get moved.

On the fishing side of things, we are now past the peak of the steelhead run but a number of SH are still around... some spawning and some dropping back to the lake. I ran a mostly swung fly trip yesterday and we had some brief action in a couple runs. We also nymphed a few pockets which produced a few great hook ups.

This morning I met my client in Newaygo at 6 and we decided to rechedule as he wasn't delighted with waving a 13 foot graphite stick with lightening bolts coming down everywhere, so I am catching up on stuff in the studio today.

My apologies to everyone who keeps updated on my fishing reports, especially you guys that have been waiting for my phone call saying the fishing is really good. The fishing was really good for about 2 weeks, but my schedule was simply too full in between days that were booked in advance.

My steelhead trips are booked through mid May but after that I am open for trout trips. I hope to see YOU for some great trout and bass fishing this summer!
