Head Lamp Lazer

Like to night fish for big trout? Introducing the new Nielson Head Ray. Results are "stunning"; guaranteed you'll leave the fly rod at home. No more stumbling around in the dark with a 9 1/2 foot fly rod bouncing into trees, weeds, and other assorted obstacles.

Just listen for a feeding fish, turn your head in that direction, point and shoot. The stunned fish floats easily to the net.

Hex Night #2

Come out, come out...where ever you are!

Hot and humid conditions had Tommy and I thinking we would have the perfect night for the "HEX" hatch. We were wrong about that, unless it happened around 2am. We fished ISO's on our way down to the spot we were posting up and caught a number of scrappy Brown and Brook trout. Cayenne also got to take your maiden voyage down the Upper Manistee in the drift boat. She actually did pretty well after her initial dive off the side of the HYDE towards a sweeper to try and retrieve a sunken log 15 minutes into the trip. We had a few duns on the water around 10pm and spinners up in the air for about an hour. They never seemed to fall like they did the previous night. If anyone has this BUG figured out please let me know!
