[tjs6088]

Wow, beautiful trout. I would love to try some small stream fishing like that, what stream is that and where is it?

[BuddyWackIt369]

what are some good early june flys?



[paulstil]

@BuddyWackIt369 By early June there are a range of hatches in full swing. Mayflies in your arsenal should include sulphurs, hendricksons, gray & brown drakes. Also the stone-flies begin to hatch now = little yellows and big browns. Caddis should include the american grannom and the little green caddis, and small sedges. Keep a range of elk hair caddis hand. I like the rhycophilla and hydropsyche larva as well. You can see some of these on my blog at wifly.wordpress

[wishinifishin]

@MichiganTroutMan There are plenty of brooks to go around down here, you just got to find em. I know of several streams with class brooks in em. You just got to be ambitious.

[paulstil]

Glad you enjoyed. Not the Fox River though although that is also a great fishery and I highly recommend trying. This is further east...

[mellowtribe]

There are many good spots up there for sure.

I'm working out in the Nevada/California Desert right now. I can't wait to get back home to Michigan and enjoy our beautiful state and all it's resources once again. Thanks for the video.

Gotta love those brookies...was that in a beaver pond?

[paulstil]

No - in fact although we saw a couple of beavers on this paddle, we did not come across any dams or ponds...

[paulstil]

Not the east branch Fox at all. Much further east in the U.P.
