Au Sable fishing on Turkey day - lonehunter - 11-30-2009 What's a holiday without a little steelhead fishing and a visit with BA ? Bassass had me over for a visit on my trip to the east side of the state and gave me the lowdown on all the hunting and fishing prospects for the area , even offered a private hunting trip on Saturday that I couldn't get to . My thanks to Tom for making me feel as welcome as family to his home , he's a true gentleman . The Au Sable was just as generous with her hospitality . She gave me her undivided attention and didn't let another fisherman tamper with her fish while I was there . After a few casts she had a 6# cromer surface to show me where they were holding and how to fish them . I abandoned the bottom bounce rig and opted for the slip-bobber rig that proved it's worth on the first cast with that same cromer . I only stayed an hour or two and had eleven fish on with four landed , no net all catch and release . Most of the fish were lost during the walk down to the rivers edge at the bottom of the stairs , those zebra mussels sure do tend to knick the line just up a way from the hook . The water was clear , the wind gentle and just enough overcast sky to keep the fish up on top , perfect fishing weather ! Firearm season has one day left so dust off your rod and get a little fishing done before the snow flys and the water gets a little stiff , if you don't I'm sure you will regret it . Good fishing to all my friends !

Hit the power lines north of Au Sable river road and found a deer funnel that had tons of doe in it ,. In 2 hours I had maybe 35 doe walked past me , never had as much as a button buck shuffle by me for antlers . I think you got the last buck left in the county . Billy said he had a 8 point come out on him as he was lighting a smoke and had his gun down . It's a shame , all that river at the end of Brodie road and can't wet a line in it . [signature]
