One more tight to the wood...

Had the opportunity to hit the home waters with Norland recently...Things started out slow but sure came around with a little determination. The Trick Em beads Zach Rayno sent me from Great Lakes Steelhead Company were the ticket on this outing and once things warmed up a bit and I dialed in the right colour it got really weird!!!! If you haven't tried their beads make sure you look them up. The Atomic and UV colours are amazing and have been consistently hitting fish for me and my friends on the Lake Huron and Michigan Flows. The highlight of this outing came at the end of the day. I was done and broken down watching Norland search for his closer fish. He made his way up to the top of the run and floated two nice drifts to no avail. You could see a sense of disappointment in his demeanor. He looked at me and proclaimed he was all done and was gonna break it down when I prompted him for one more final throw tight to the wood. Well as fate would have it in the 11th hour at the bottom of the drift the float dropped. After several intense moments and what seemed an eternity the 29" Huron Buck came to hand. Fish of the season on the Huron Tribs for our travels. A Great way to end the day and something I'll never let him live down! That biatch owes me one!!!
