With your regular awful Michigan winter nagging on me ,I could only pray everyday for March 14th and my departure from O'Hare field.The usual travel nightmare ensued and I barely made my connecting flight to Melbourne, a quick 15 hours it was over the vast sea. Of course I couldn't sleep even though the plane was quite empty. Landing in Melbourne the next day I realized they drive just like in Europe on the wrong side of the road. Thanks to Richard Branson I jumped on my Virgin Australia connection to Adelaide with no further delays.Dean was waiting in the terminal and I knew I was in a great country when you are still allowed to greet guests inside the terminal. We got my bags and set off with his friend Woody to his beautiful home in Victor Harbor. It looked just like Southern,California .passing beaches and hills and the vastness of the Indian Ocean. I greeted Dean's wife Lynda and settled into my room for a long sleep.I was playing great venues almost every night and doing Radio interviews everyday but we managed time for sightseeing, and Kangaroo and Koala sightings .Most of my gigs were with a world renowned Blues Guitarist named Chris Finnen He is revered in Australia and it was an honor to work with him.What I like about Chris was that he had a wonderful Dauschund named Queenie plus at least 300 guitars which he let me pick out whichever ones i wanted to use .We packed them in at the Wheatsheaf Hotel,Murray Delta Juke Joint and Semaphors Working Man's Club where Tank cooked delicious Yabbies( Crawfish)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUq2A4ZOUgGAFOYgNVYMk5-rSbRprZQltbQCukuUJw-lzZVsJKwQR9KK8scWupH0zVVPlb6_Wq6s4OJ1scTuFaw17tMwpLP9kkfdUW4G6J94hU5A0xweHlJnCfMvLrQs0ynNGn8cNC7gcxB3btda6oswX_QS4SKrLy9Gu5dvraVFej6js7LMgekwp-/s4032/20230326_171012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUq2A4ZOUgGAFOYgNVYMk5-rSbRprZQltbQCukuUJw-lzZVsJKwQR9KK8scWupH0zVVPlb6_Wq6s4OJ1scTuFaw17tMwpLP9kkfdUW4G6J94hU5A0xweHlJnCfMvLrQs0ynNGn8cNC7gcxB3btda6oswX_QS4SKrLy9Gu5dvraVFej6js7LMgekwp-/s320/20230326_171012.jpg" width="240" /></a></div> Yabbies<br />Dean opened up all the shows and gave a wonderful introduction each night . Another highlight was finally meeting Dean's son Tristen Bird .Tristen is an awesome musician and owns Palamino Recording in Myponga .During the day the Boss,Lynda Bird a poet in her own right cooked incredible meals for us including Prawns, Chicken and Lamb.I was living the life of Reily walking to the beach everyday ,watching the Surfers and meeting a fishing legend named George. He became the theme of the trip and Finally took me fishing as well. It just so happened he was an excellent musician and attended one of my concerts as well. Adelaide is an exciting city and it was great to perform at Memphis Slims House of Blues with the great Paul Giles on harp.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhxGB6-AibvQ9_7ZvF1o-I-weDk-Vnkx--Vqf_Bv3ax12i84YxwUCWWw32NB7xsLge7FbV4xqxVHQCyhcRcH8aG8Q8N-ELkjPXuw_K2bvcY6efnaww1hjyALMP5p4_dHGpZvH547XHwBIZhw2s1neBQUSy4lr1x5axxFL35PBI0CeSBcB1TG7hc8YW/s1080/FB_IMG_1679917726575.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1080" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhxGB6-AibvQ9_7ZvF1o-I-weDk-Vnkx--Vqf_Bv3ax12i84YxwUCWWw32NB7xsLge7FbV4xqxVHQCyhcRcH8aG8Q8N-ELkjPXuw_K2bvcY6efnaww1hjyALMP5p4_dHGpZvH547XHwBIZhw2s1neBQUSy4lr1x5axxFL35PBI0CeSBcB1TG7hc8YW/s320/FB_IMG_1679917726575.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Chris Finnen<br />.I found out the Beatles had drew 300,000 people in 1964 in Adelaide and a drummer named Jimmy Nicol had filled in for Ringo there. One of the trip highlights was riding the Historic Cockle Train to Goolwa and going to the Murray Mouth on Hindmarsh Island. The Murray is Australia's biggest river. Every night when we drove home from the concerts I had the honor of being on Kangaroo watch. They are really sweet animals but I heard then can deliver a massive punch if you get too close.With the trip winding down,I said a final goodbye to George and had a wonderful Vietamese dinner with Dean,Chris,and Lynda.They dropped me off with an emotional goodbye and I got ready for my early flight to Sydney. It is a massive airport and it was quite the trek to get through customs but I made it and had time for a quick stop at the gift shop before the 13 hour full flight to San Francisco. This time I decided to watch Jaws as we crossed the Pacific to enhance the journey.Hope to return Down Under sooner than later, As they say in Australia " Good Day Mate" <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It was the old Planes,Ferries and Automobiles to make the journey interesting to say the least. I had my guitar in tow and my 2 Helios Orvis favorites. The travel schedule did not allow for fishing until a few shows were in the bag.I started at the Chilkahoot River in Haines to a big zero landed .( The Sockeye were late and the Bears were as well ).There was an attempt at Grayling and Lake Trout in The Yukon that failed and then finally a Dolly in Skagway from Pullen Pond.I am not complaining! The scenery,food and people were fantastic .It was not until I contacted Mike at Alaskan Fly Fishing goods in Juneau for a hot tip that I had success and it was a welcome relief.I did not want to have to explain to the Fishing community that I went to Alaska and was skunked. It is true that you still have to work for success at least in my case!! Tight Lines and as we say on our overfished Trout Streams Tighter<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig15_00wJ7pqvIB7rB_DcHX0lRiUU9da313phPBW3j4bZbcB3jwmx8PJnqydp9Kp42vjP00Y7H_wGuycYPSNM6lELbanAX5n9oM2BuuIErDE7jhSjTytnagdNZ1ONuLlI9E7RHiDhtDHHWZLQ_gBty45jf0Y-PjHN7yz_HyUZRpa7QHHP6zljlloo4/s480/IMG_2501.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="360" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig15_00wJ7pqvIB7rB_DcHX0lRiUU9da313phPBW3j4bZbcB3jwmx8PJnqydp9Kp42vjP00Y7H_wGuycYPSNM6lELbanAX5n9oM2BuuIErDE7jhSjTytnagdNZ1ONuLlI9E7RHiDhtDHHWZLQ_gBty45jf0Y-PjHN7yz_HyUZRpa7QHHP6zljlloo4/s320/IMG_2501.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6_prpgPkhKQ7PQ9KYqVhsr-YIHk-xoMXkhwfITW2aVb_-lbpf2TBaGBUbt0DvSEuwo0RRhVDG9MKaiFD9TZ1wOse8EmG8HTosXB8rx0OrpHtUncObwkeSjaNN4S_TP9RFxeeTkIxeFtiAPpjbQn3YiVzlQ3zgnobPIJy1rp45P61NP2EKtmwf25xC/s1125/Screenshot_20220818-121411_Gallery.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6_prpgPkhKQ7PQ9KYqVhsr-YIHk-xoMXkhwfITW2aVb_-lbpf2TBaGBUbt0DvSEuwo0RRhVDG9MKaiFD9TZ1wOse8EmG8HTosXB8rx0OrpHtUncObwkeSjaNN4S_TP9RFxeeTkIxeFtiAPpjbQn3YiVzlQ3zgnobPIJy1rp45P61NP2EKtmwf25xC/s320/Screenshot_20220818-121411_Gallery.jpg" width="307" /></a></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVt5NFyIiqizkSQeGCbKqfn1XiLEPwy6kSNy2pPM3E0zVeppNJnB22dqomkS1Pu8CO3xqy5kVkVQXNnd0GoiQj2iO_bw8ateK50-c-0SW-X6fFePVLlmRUiSD3R3T7zdT2BXIbGY8v7zJUbSlB8dUyhBD2QMwK5WP9L-lr2TUAocV_PD4QEuHXI58d/s2936/20220720_161546.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2936" data-original-width="2505" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVt5NFyIiqizkSQeGCbKqfn1XiLEPwy6kSNy2pPM3E0zVeppNJnB22dqomkS1Pu8CO3xqy5kVkVQXNnd0GoiQj2iO_bw8ateK50-c-0SW-X6fFePVLlmRUiSD3R3T7zdT2BXIbGY8v7zJUbSlB8dUyhBD2QMwK5WP9L-lr2TUAocV_PD4QEuHXI58d/s320/20220720_161546.jpg" width="273" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYxSSDZkrR5UzkKcpoA3ZGEJqloPBdiXf9ahXZmnog86vKfOJVNu0d2lTToHu4rI69AgijLd6y8d1wFHn4Hqycdlac4c3cDAamX-uuzYwvc-qPXBNsZW9usqA50tzTDFAbrzK2S2yKp_olZ18EeFsK2QOCuf2lHAAoJ5bykSSm924X7HtqssqDQqI-/s4032/20220720_184050.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYxSSDZkrR5UzkKcpoA3ZGEJqloPBdiXf9ahXZmnog86vKfOJVNu0d2lTToHu4rI69AgijLd6y8d1wFHn4Hqycdlac4c3cDAamX-uuzYwvc-qPXBNsZW9usqA50tzTDFAbrzK2S2yKp_olZ18EeFsK2QOCuf2lHAAoJ5bykSSm924X7HtqssqDQqI-/s320/20220720_184050.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMJV6MQagBEs2JsWoTZEOF4Ov5GVqwBqpBjL3O6M9JL3vFALusSyJdcEQAi0VPqIiiROOZAHYGSnsEU9fqPlFfgs4rcAh5cmUfD6Kpuu6kfOfRcpDKE-gXSOX2AlwszC8oG-iAB2ei5QguAPbNWJD7JaBzQ__kMaZmAafISbcb5HQdzmeM_b7wW8Ao/s960/FB_IMG_1658384627235.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMJV6MQagBEs2JsWoTZEOF4Ov5GVqwBqpBjL3O6M9JL3vFALusSyJdcEQAi0VPqIiiROOZAHYGSnsEU9fqPlFfgs4rcAh5cmUfD6Kpuu6kfOfRcpDKE-gXSOX2AlwszC8oG-iAB2ei5QguAPbNWJD7JaBzQ__kMaZmAafISbcb5HQdzmeM_b7wW8Ao/s320/FB_IMG_1658384627235.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPeDGoqDGbLwHrbVL87Kh5vR9EBZERl9R9bdqBkptfB_OLgRDcJ9Qb2UepFpaezIOywOOQoByE1xkUWqQRA9kONmy5B_dBVdKTEN4laQ9K8ksA2rxf0iRzsVkWe9PHoI5XLOLMESLsMgCyLqV5_DYO8jxGslAMKhkSEqtw0304LZvYdPE-AuZ3E0Zp/s4032/20220721_115218.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPeDGoqDGbLwHrbVL87Kh5vR9EBZERl9R9bdqBkptfB_OLgRDcJ9Qb2UepFpaezIOywOOQoByE1xkUWqQRA9kONmy5B_dBVdKTEN4laQ9K8ksA2rxf0iRzsVkWe9PHoI5XLOLMESLsMgCyLqV5_DYO8jxGslAMKhkSEqtw0304LZvYdPE-AuZ3E0Zp/s320/20220721_115218.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> Lips !!

Sometimes what I took for granted is now what is best.On my second trip out to Montana this year I had some of the best experiences as of yet.From fishing with Jon Stiehl ( Owner of the Trout Hunter Lodge) to having The former Governor ( Brian Schweizer attending my show in Ovando @ Trixies ) and running into a fellow musician ( Calumet Steve) from Michigan at Rainey Lake Campgrpund it was a tour filled with surprises.There were great times staying with Scott Kelly( Owner if the Gravel Bar) in Virginia City to catching big Cuthroat in Henry's Lake and fishing with Eric Sommers on the Missouri. Basing myself in Wolf Creek for a bit with Pat and Pickles set the trip in motion. A snow packed Hgwy 287 in Reynolds Pass added some excitement and of course Phillipsburg Brewery was awesome as usual.

My friend advised me that I need to be at a certain place on this night in June .In fact he ordered me under the strictest confidentiality with extreme penalties for breaking the sacred oath of trout angling. Alone I was on a perfect moonless night with tons of bugs and no people for 2 hours until a noisy raft showed up and then I promptly left. I pretended not to speak English as well.It was a perfect night with the best fish coming at the end.I never actually measure anything but it was 20 inches in my book!!<p></p><p><br /></p>Ksohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09380183754766720347noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874227029775015733.post-38696995107794813702021-05-01T15:09:00.000-07:002021-05-01T15:09:03.302-07:00Smallmouth Heaven<p> Well the first post of the year is going to focus on a more Urban environment.After years of Isolating in Bear country I was happy to be in Grand Rapids for some spring fishing and great Thai food.

</div>A great way to end a year fishing was to spend three great nights @ Green
Cottage in Baldwin , MI. I was heading up a night early to play @ the Pm lodge
and was offered an opportunity to stay at the famous rental courtesy of my
friend and fishing partner Griff.I made it to Hausmans on Friday the 13th (my
lucky day) to pick up supplies before heading over to the cottage. It is an
incredible place set on the banks of the Pere Marquette right next to the boat
launch.I found the heat and sat down to my favorite fried chicken dinner.After a
great sleep I was up early making breakfast and coffee when Frank from the lodge
banged on the window and said hello.He was launching his stealthcraft for his
day float with clients.I sat on the deck and was witness to a steelhead being
landed by guide Jeff Cole and his client across from the cottage.Well I had a
good feeling about the day and Griff soon picked me up to take me on a float
downriver.We launched at Soolak and Griff hooked a fish on the second cast.We
took a break and I pulled out the guitar for some riverside blues.It was then on
to the rest of the float and I hooked up on a beautiful fish.Griff landed the
beautiful steelhead for me and we were greeted by my three friends Jarod , Chris
and Frank.They were on an afternoon float and offered us a cold beer and a few
tastes of bourbon. They had watched the whole battle.We continued on to the
launch and I Headed back to the cottage for a hot shower . Well I Headed over to
the lodge to jam a bit and then back to the cottage for a great peaceful night
looking at the reflection of the river through my living room window .The next
morning it was pouring rain and again I watched someone land a fish outside the
cottage.The gentleman turned out to be a great fisherman named Jim Bos who
happened to know a lot of my friends in Terrace, Bc. He offered me some orange
yarn flies he was using and I rigged up and started fishing.I ended up hooking
six fish and landing one beauty only because Griff showed up and helped me snake
the rod through a downed tree.Another great night at the cottage and a quick
wade in the Am before heading home wrapping up an incredible weekend on the PM.

What I really found were some great new rivers , great new people and some incredible food. I arrived early in Bozeman on Oct 8th and headed over to Music Villa for my rental gear and then onto Bozone Brewery to have a few brews with owner Todd Scott. This Covid has everyone on edge in the state and cases were on the rise. I headed to Wolf Creek to stay at my friend Pat Hunter's and then it was up early on the way to Big Fork. I wanted to try the Flathead river so I took the Northern route through Browning and the Blackfoot reservation.The Flathead comes into view after East Glacier and there is plenty of access along Highway 2. It was a beautiful day and I thought for sure a fish would crash my stimulator but it became apparent that this was not going to happen after numerous casts in the most beautiful water imaginable. I settled for an incredible outdoor lunch in West Glacier instead. After my show at Flathead Brewery in Big Fork I headed towards Ennis the next day and found some beautiful water on the Blackfoot near Mineral Hill. The fish were everywhere and after landing a number of Rainbows and Cutthroat I headed to play at the World famous Gravel Bar and see my friend and owner Scott Kelley .This is the headquarters for all the Madison River anglers ..Great food and a great new Brewery as well on the property. After a great windy performance it was on to the famous Philipsburg Brewery and fishing on Georgetown Lake. It was below freezing but instead of Rainbows I found lots of Kokanee. They are a small landlocked Sockeye and are great fighters. On to the brewery and then the next day I met my friend Will from Flint Creek outfitters.Instead of Rock Creek we decided to try another lake and landed a beautiful Cutthroat and lost a Bull Trout.Next it was on to the Bitterroot around Hamilton to meet my friend Ken Jacobsen from Seattle.Ken is a retired Veterinarian from Seattle and now has a home in the Valley. We had met there in Hamilton in 2011 .It was an awful day with pouring rain and 38 degrees but we managed some beautiful fish on small blue winged olives. I was heading back to Whitefish the next day to get ready for a performance at the Tupelo Grill on Thursday in Whitefish. The highlight of this day was some incredible Thai food in Kalispell .Then some evening fishing on the South Fork of the Flathead for some Cutthroat fishing. I had the whole day Thursday before my show and was able to find some Cutthroat and great scenery..Friday I was heading back to Wolf Creek to Pat Hunter's and Fishing on the Missouri. The wind basically blew us off of all our favorite spots and we settled for drinks and dinner on his back deck with his Border Collie"Pickles".. I woke up Saturday to a heavy snow and an awful drive through the canyon and Highway 287 to Bozeman. I decided to stay local and fish the Gallatin and found a few nice fish at the top of the Canyon. My last gig was cancelled because of the health scare so I was happy to have fished in the snow and picked up a great dinner at the Coop in Bozeman!! Till next time Montana !!</div>Ksohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09380183754766720347noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874227029775015733.post-7201446331206390542020-10-21T15:36:00.002-07:002020-10-21T15:36:34.098-07:00Blues and fly fishing: two intertwined pursuits <a href="https://www.tu.org/blog/blues-and-fly-fishing-two-intertwined-pursuits/">Blues and fly fishing: two intertwined pursuits</a>Ksohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09380183754766720347noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874227029775015733.post-41254758557037536982020-07-26T19:56:00.000-07:002020-07-26T19:56:16.866-07:00Touring,Flying and Trout fishing in a PandemicThis could be It , The last great trip , Who knows anymore! I was scheduled for my Montana tour and I was praying I would make this trip. A lot of West Coast and Canadian trips had been cancelled.I actually couldn't believe it when I arrived at O'hare in Chicago. The flight was on time and the line at TSA was non existent.I was on a direct flight to Bozeman and I was lucky to be all alone in Economy Plus.Arriving in Montana the National Guard greeted me with a temperature check and a smile. I picked my car up and was on the way to get my guitar rental and license.Withing an hour I was at my first gig location in Livingston meeting my friend Josh for an evening on the Yellowstone. Then it was west to Ennis and a couple of great days fishing with my friend Jim Walker , a Neuroscience professor from Purdue University.Talk about an inferiority complex!! Before heading to the world famous Trout Hunter lodge on the Henry's Fork and my friends Jonathon Stiehl , Griz,Joe, Darby,TJ and everyone else I stopped and met my girl fishing friend Tamela for a hike down to a new stretch on the Madison.It was then down 287 to Island Park. This time instead of killing myself trying to get a perfect drift I read a book in the beautiful lodge. It was then on to the beautiful Philip<br />

sburg area and some great nighttime stimulator action.I landed 2 beautiful Brook Trout and 2 beautiful Rainbows.The next day the brewery was fantastic and I spent time with my friend Josh McGowan.Then It was on to Yellowstone Park to Meet my friend Griz and Josh for some cutthroat fishing. After a very beary hike down a canyon I found them.We worked hard and finally a massive Cutthroat took my dropper on 4.5 x and I was fast to the fish of a lifetime.Josh put it in the net and it was a done deal at 22 inches!This turned out to be a fantastic day. I left my friends and headed to the other side of the park. I was on the famous Soda Butte and took 6 cutthroat in 10 casts.Afterwards I spotted a real Grizzly and a Black Bear to wrap up the day. The next day was Red Lodge and a lost rainbow and more great music. After dropping my gear off in Bozeman I headed back to Ennis to meet my friend Jim but the fishing was slow and we settled for a grea<br />

Being a Michigan trout fisherman and to have never experienced the Hex hatch was becoming my Achilles heel of my trout career. Oh I have tried and tried following various tips from many friends and guides.Its too cold, your too late, last week was happening . But every year I would go and wait at various locations only to be rejected time and time again. Last year I did hear a fish but then a downpour came and It was over. With my touring schedule really being slow due to covid I took a couple of days last week to head up to Northern, Mi.The weather seemed right ,warm and muggy and no moon.I ran into a new fisherman named Neil at the river and he offered me some bugs, bug spray and company. He knew this hatch well and felt it could happen. We walked in a long way and settled on a bend and waited. Neil took a few small fish before dark and the bugs came but few fish. He did have me wade in the dark to a dimple in the water .We think the fish made a move but that was all. The next night I would arrive in the same area early and wait again. I could anticipate a more productive night. After a two hour wait it became pitch black and I started to see the elusive Hexagenia Mayfly . All of a sudden<br />

hundreds if not thousands of aimlessly flying bugs over the river. Next I noticed silver flashes in front of me which I assumed were fish.I spent 20 minutes drifting my Hex spinner downstream and could not get a take.It was then I noticed a soft circle rise upstream about ten feet away close to the bank. I made three casts and on the fourth I felt a pull and connected with a strong fish .The power of this fish was amplified by the surrounding darkness<br />
It made several strong runs and I was able to put my hands on a beautiful 20 inch plus brown.After a quick photo he swam off. I was in shock but decided to keep fishing. Just that quick the water was still and as if the bugs or fish never existed. That must be the allure of this famous hatch I will be back!!!

This has been a very stressful time and it was time to get back to my pre lockdown life. With all my travel plans cancelled and Baldwin, MI. was the perfect choice. My friend Steve Cornetet sent me a message asking me to come night fishing on Wed May 27th . Steve is one of the top fishing guides on the Pere Marquette river along with Steve Fraley , Frank Willets ,Mile's Klusing , Jack Ford and many others. We met at Baldwin Creek Lodge @ 6pm sharp. His friend Ian came along as well. We had great night, landed a nice Rainbow and Brown but rolled lots on mouse patterns!. Back at the room at 330 Am for a great sleep then a quick hello to Mike Batcke at Stealthcraft Boats and I was on my way to chase some more fish. Mike has built one of the top drift boat companies in the world right in the little town of Baldwin, MI. I was going to be fishing with my music friends Griff and Brandon later that evening. I stopped by the PM lodge and said hello to the owner Frank Willets. He invited me to stay the night .This has been a really tough time for all the Lodge Owners and Guides in the fly fishing business.A whole steelhead season was lost due to lockdown measures and hopefully everyone will come together and pull through. I was pretty tired from my late night with Steve so just hung around for the day and was treated to an incredible barbecue chicken dinner with Frank and his guests who I knew, Todd Fenton and his friend Matt Ruimfeld. It was now time to meet Griff and Brandon for our evening float from Green to Bowman. Preacher Danny was there and said a fish blessing for me!!The water had come up a bit but Griff wasn't worried.We launched in the high water and headed downstream towards Clay Banks. I was throwing a tandem fry pattern on my 6 wt. And connected with my first fish soon .After a crazy battle we slid the 18" Brown into net. It was a solid PM wild fish. The Pere Marquette is the original water of the first brown trout stocking in the US back in 1884 and these fish are from that lineage. We pushed down river past another great Guide named Casey and stopped in a cool back eddy. I had my fry pattern swinging downstream when I had a massive strike .After another great battle Griff netted a 19" inch brown. Soon after Brandon missed a 20 plus fish. We pushed downstream passed Gleason's landing and it became pitch black out.We stopped and had a late night snack that Todd had packed up for us at the Lodge. It was then time to throw a mouse. After a few casts in the blackness I heard a huge crash and I was on to a nice 16' Brown and another great net job. It started to rain and the fishing slowed so we pushed on down to Bowman's and pulled out for the night at 2 Am. Back at the Lodge I found out the guests had done well on the water as well.The next day Brandon, his friend Preacher Danny and I searched for some Brook Trout but only ended up seeing a huge Eagle and having the truck breakdown. Luckily a cool trout fisherman named Jim stopped and helped us get it started. Well we headed back to Baldwin and I headed home. Tight lines everyone and will see you soon, KeithKsohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09380183754766720347noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874227029775015733.post-46475777512951515112019-12-28T15:39:00.000-08:002019-12-28T15:41:18.031-08:00Final tour of 2019This was to be my last music, fishing tour of 2019 to the Seattle Area. It almost didn't happen because my Moms furnace took a dive on the way to the airport but a last minute service call saved me!!!After a great late night flight I was at Sea Tac and on to some gigs and fishing .After a fantastic show in Seattle with fellow Bluesman and fisherman Brian Lee,<br />

it was on to Puget sound with my friend Julie Lynn and some educated cuthroat After 3 days I finally landed 3 one morning on a new secret method. Then it was on to the Olympic famous waters with my guide friend Steve Burns. We swung the Hoh, and The Clearwater and Bogashiel with only a few strikes ! But an adventure it was with Steve off roading in a Toyota 4x4. Happy New Year everyone and tight lines !!

<span id="goog_1383402002"></span><span id="goog_1383402003"></span>This was an amazing journey of great airplane travel, good friends, wildlife and fishing!Arriving for the first time at Terrace Airport I headed over to Gil and Mandi Mckeans West Coast fishing lodge. It was the next day that I let a big"Steelhead Go" and Gil and I wrote a song about it!! Later on in the trip it was fishing with the legendary fishing guide and harmonica player "Pierce Steelhead Clegg", He actually put me on a nice steelhead and Coho! Along the way I found some beautiful Brook Trout as well with my friend Dakota!! Thanks to the great breweries for hosting me as well!!<br />

. My friend Greg Potter from Marshall had tied me a box of beautiful streamers and eggs but I also picked a bunch of xtra small egg patterns at the lodge.My first stop was the upper section by James Rd. After no action I called my friend Chris who has a house on the river and he said to come by and fish near his place. There were plenty of browns but they were spooky and he suggested I walk to another section. I worked a run with no one else around and tied into a beautiful brown. Then hooked a nice salmon but a second salmon took the other egg and now I was fighting 30 lbs of fish on 4x. Back at my friends we had a great evening wade in the rain and saw a giant barn owl. After a few sips of Vodka and cold beers we called it a day and then the rain kicked in and never stopped!!

A quick 500 mile drive to the Thompson from Seattle and a stop at Trout Waters in Kelowna, BC led to some great winter Rainbow action ! Even though it was in the 20's the fish were on!! A quick stop on the way back for a beautiful Lahontan and a great outing with my friend Larry Phillips in the pouring rain for sea run Cuthroat put the icing on the cake for 2018!! Happy Fish year!!</p>
