My original plan was to camp along the Au Sable and fish the
Holy Waters of Michigan using my little cedarstrip canoe and
a bicycle shuttle but when I read the fishing reports from the
fly shops along the Au Sable I changed my mind. The hex hatch
was still in full swing and it is an exercise in futility to
float flies over fish during the day that are keyed in to feasting
at night. And I don't fish at night.

*snipped*

I finished the day right there in the State Park where I was camping
and fished East Beaver Creek. East Beaver Creek lies wholly within
the State Park so is well taken care of and quite pretty. A footbridge
crosses Beaver Creek just downstream of the confluence of East & West
Beaver so that you can see both from the bridge. Both run cold and
fish well for browns and brookies. I'll be back.


Friends have been trying to get me over there for years. Your TR might
be the push I needed. Thanks.
