  TROUT AuSable River - Mio Dam to 4001 Bridge ...... Surface feeding on Hendricksons (#14) will become a daily occurance as soon as the water temperature reaches the 55 degree mark. Emergence usually occurs around 2 P.M. and the hatch lasts an average of 2 hours. The trout will often be selective between female (Hendrickson) and male (Red Quill) from riffle to riffle. Be alert and change flies as needed. When the Hendrickson hatch is over, about 4 P.M., the female Chimarra caddis (#16 Henryville Special) begin their egg laying flights. Lengthen your tippet, cast the caddis pattern downstream, and very quickly, gently, and continually lift your rod tip and strip airborne retrieves, etc. The objective will be to skitter the caddis pattern upstream, emulating an egg-laying flight. This is extremely effective. If you encounter a slow day and there is no surface feeding activity, don't discourage. Work streamers through the runs and holes. Patterns like Zonkers and Matukas are best in early spring as large trophy trout are on a feeding binge to gain instant calories by devouring bait fish and smaller trout. | AuSable River Emergence Schedule | AuSable River Trout Fishing Map | AuSable Stream Flow Data | Tawas Bay Fishing | | Return Home | Clothing & Outerwear | Footwear | Kayaking & Canoeing | Hiking & Backpacking | Tawas Bird & Nature Observation | Fly Fishing | Cross Country Skiing | Corsair Ski Trail Conditions | Events Schedule | Links | Contact Us | THE WAYBACKS | |
