Living would be easier if men showed as much patience at
home as they do when they're fishing.
To all those interested in the brown drakes and graylings ausable river
systems, i have seen a few drakes out last nite, the weather is starting
to warm up, they should be fishable by middle of next week to the end of
next week, Anyone interested in coming up for a fish together let me
know. the sulphers are really going on strong now, the slate wing
mahoganys have tapered off, sulphers have been hatching late into the
eve, larger feeding trout are present
