Flat River, Michigan - July 30, 2021 - Smallies on the fly

 Took a guided trip to the Flat River in Michigan for some smallies on the fly with a buddy of mine.  Beautiful water (as all Michigan rivers seem to be).  This river would be the perfect trout stream if it wasn't so warm.  Saw TONS of red horse suckers - they were huge.  Fished huge poppers (frogs) and Game Changers - unreal fly, the Game Changer looks so real in the water and fish not much bigger than the 6 inch fly will pound the thing.  Crazy action.

We didn't catch a bunch, maybe 5 each - but I did manage a nice one on the popper.  He was maybe 15 inches.  I gotta figure out how to fish Chatfield for these guys - they were so much fun.


I'm going to Discount soon to buy the stuff to tie Game Changers.
