Hey guys!

Happy Sunday! This isn’t just any Sunday, it’s the Detroit Lions kickoff opener Sunday night game against the Rams!!!

!!!

With that being said, and with a CRAZY CHANGE in weather for the next 10 days in Northern Michigan, two of our guides will be running night trips, mousing for brown trout over this next week/following weekend! Unexpected events!

🏈⚠️ Here is the kicker!!! ⚠️ 🏈

Any Interception, or any fumble recovery that comes in the Lions favor tonight, will knock off $50 from ANY of our trips/rates!!!

All days but this coming Wednesday (9/11) are open for trips and not booked! (9/9, 9/10, 9/12- 9/17)

A nice lil’ week special for the FIRST week of a DOMINANT season underway!!!

By the way, who remembers All-Star Lions standout Ndamukong Suh??
Did I mention that our brown trout up here on the Au Sable hit the mice at the same caliber he was hitting lineman and Quarterbacks??
It’s true! 🐁 🛻 🐟

Here’s a couple more that made the mouse fly the culprit to the crime scene…

Two last-second guide trip requests in the past 4 days!!!

Always a blast getting a message from someone who’s just starting to dabble into the fly game and wants to go mousing!

Man, I always have a great time on the water, but the ”why” in this isn’t for just “catching the fish”

The comments I receive from clients after trips, man, it’s hard not to choke up at times… such meaningful and motivational words on how up-to-tee I am with it.

I’m working so hard for this…
Trust me when I say it, there is nothing I want to do more with the rest of my damn life!!!!!

I’m not being sarcastic at all when I say it, I truly mean this, I love last-second guide trip plannings!

I get this kick of energy, enthusiasm, and focus unlike any other…! It’s incomparable! A message mid day about any openings,
Handful of hours to dial in the best water for the night, gather around some food n drink, and sling up the rods, then let’s SLIDE!!!

For the first time ever mousing, what amazing technique my clients got onto right off the bat, they jumped on it right away!!!

The patience in the hookset is everything, and they started to figure it out on about the 8th to 9th blow up! (Had a few come right up to the boat just about)

0/12 coming up on the very last bend, take out boat ramp in 40 feet,

FISH ON!!!!!

THE MOMENTS YOU LIVE FOR!!!!

MAKIN IT HAPPEN, EVEN IF ITS THE VERY FIRST OR THE VERY LAST CAST!

Who’s gonna come join me on the Rodent Rodeo next??? 🥞 🐭 🛻

Nothing better than drifting a terrestrial/grasshopper fly pattern on the inside line of a bubble seam, tiny twitches with the rod tip, line strip, keep it taught…

*WHABAM!* 💥

Come on out, my people!!! got some good openings in July and August for some goodddd smallmouth bass fishing! It really can’t get too much better here in Genesee/Saginaw Counties than fishin with the boys at Match The Hatch Fly Shop and Guide Service

I WILL teach you what there is to know on how to get the topwater explosions of your life, catching quality fish, all on your first day out with me.

Give me a ring… money isn’t that huge of a factor, let’s talk it out… I have good promo running right now through Labor Day anyway still.

I do this because of the emotion/success I get as a reaction out of it.
Come on out, people.

I know lots of you have been saying you’ve wanted to for years! NOW IS YOUR TIME!!!! 👊🏼😜
