Ausable River, Grayling, Michigan

My first encounter with Grayling and the Ausable was a bit of a fluke as I drove through it on the way back from the U.P. Realizing where I was, I arranged to stay a day longer so I’d get to fish it. Later, joined by my wife, I got to fish it for a couple of days.


My first trip to Grayling with me outside of Rusty Gates’ lodge.





The second trip and a picture of me taken from the bridge.




Getting set for another cast.
