hey , todays trip was a blast , i had one on for about three shakes of it's head and that was it . the night time thunderstorms and sunrise rains did little to move the fish off the beds .
fishingirl landed and released two 22 inch female eyes with there tails half worn away .
after the brief steelhead hook up i myself put up the steelhead rod and broke wide with the uglystick as these self appointed experts came down casting across our lines , casting out of turn , and would hold a drift for about 6 or seven minutes at a time across our drift areas . my feeling is if they wanted to fish that far downriver they should have moved on down the line . i was eager and willing to reply with a few tangled lines to get the message across . it worked .
this was the wifes first steelhead trip on the au sable , she had a blast even thou the fish aren't up as of yet . she handeled herself quite well despite the discourtouse "pros".
