Beaver Island, Michigan guided carp trip on July 3rd, 2011 with Kevin Morlock.
"Thanks again for a great day and your patience. I imagine we'll be back in about 12 months. Want to try to get with you down state if I can carve out some time. Best of luck the rest of this season and for fall salmon and steelhead." Dave

"I sure enjoyed my fishing trip with you on June 14 and 15. It's very exciting to stalk carp the way we did. It's also fun to fish to a carp only to have a 19 inch smallmouth grab your fly instead. It was a great trip and I hope to do it again. Please put some of our pictures up on your web site so I can show off." Steve W.
"I want to thank you for two great days of fishing on June 14th and 15th in the vicinity of Beaver Island. The carp fishing was amazing. The technical difficulty of trying to hook up with them actually made it a more enjoyable experience. The fact that each of us landed a carp over 20 pounds was a bonus. Your fly selection helped give us a dynamite experience. I almost forgot to mention – we didn’t see any other fishermen! We could deal with having all those quality fish to ourselves. If you can post some photos of our trip it would be greatly appreciated." Steve H.

Pere Marquette River Water Conditions – above average, stained
>>> We got a lot of rain three days ago and the river is just coming down. Big rubber leg stonefly nymphs produced in the fly water on the 28th and the streamer bite should be good for a few days. The night mouse bite was excellent in the upper river before the rain and we’re heading out tonight to see how it has held up. Matt Dunn
