west branch ausable river Fishing Report

cloudy again, but just right for fishing! I brought my jig and got some solid bites. landed a couple of really nice fish today, felt like they were practically jumping into my net. made it all worth it to be out here again. can’t wait for next time! 🎣

had a nice overcast day on the river. temps were finally decent! caught a bunch of small mountain brookies, all released. was fun to see them darting around. used my new fly rod for the first time, felt like a pro out there. 🤙

ugh, today was cold! couldn’t believe it was raining too. I went with my buddy, we were both freezing but we didn’t want to quit. got one decent fish, about a pound. not my best day but hey, some days are just like that.

back at it again on a rainy day, but this time the fish were hungry! got soaked, but it was worth it. landed a couple of browns on a black nymph. felt so good to feel them tugging on the line. love this place even in the rain!

cloudy skies today on the ausable, but the fish were biting! caught a few decent rainbows, biggest was about 2lbs. used some worms I dug up. was a nice change from the past few rainy days, felt good to be out. saw some ducks too, which was cool.
