Fly Fishing the Holy Waters of the Au Sable

A day fly fishing the Holy Waters of the Au Sable during the Hendrickson hatch, May 2016. Trout rising everywhere and clouds of bugs moving up the river. A special place, like no other.
Music: Renegade by the Styx
Rod: 8'9" 3wt
Reel: Redington Zero 2/3

I loved the music and video my wife and I are looking to fish the Au sable next year we are excited

[@ethancramer5837]

Its a great river, no place like it! If you want any info before your trip feel free to contact me on facebook @ TroutNations

Looked like an unusually high Brookie to Brown ratio for that section. But, a trout is a trout! Even if it is a Char 😉. Thanks for sharing.

I would have loved it except for the loud music...I am from the 60's love great music but not on a beautiful ride on the river. I was so excited to see something about The Au Sable my fav place to be in the world but the loud music ruined it for me.

Heading up there to help my grandma move out of her place, where’s a good place to wade fish?

[@deeem-tee799]

[@ethancramer5837]

[@alexoutdoors88]

Epic video man! I wish I could cast like you, just started my fly fishing journey!

[@chrisbajema8002]

Nicely done Ethan 👌any trout is a beautiful catch am I right? Looked like a reel fun day🤙

[@ethancramer5837]

They sure are, they were sure hungry that day, one of my best ever, triple digits!

My great great grandfather owned the DNR access a long time ago on the Au Sable but then my great grandmother sold it to the DNR.

[@petoskeyonthefly6332]

Man, this was incredible! Can't wait to get on the water this spring! Keep it up! I'm subbing

[@petoskeyonthefly6332]

Also, great music choice!

[@ethancramer5837]

Thanks, it was a very memorable day, some of my favorite water in the state!

Viewers: ALWSYS wet the hands BEFORE handling trout especially fragile teeny char.

nice missing the hex hatch right now

This looks like the South branch of the Ausable in Mich.

[@ethancramer5837]

This is the mainstream in Michigan, just east of Grayling

[@turbinepower77]

Once I muted the music it was a thing of beauty. I once caught a grayling out of there.

[@andrewdomonic6603]

Yeah. I don't associate 70's cock rock with fly fishing.

[@michaelderyder426]

Wow. Since they've been extinct from there for over 100 years. That's a pretty amazing catch. 😅
