The Mio area is excellent for Brown Trout and Brook Trout, with Rainbow Trout also being a common target in the Au Sable River.
Spring offers good action as waters warm, summer provides consistent fishing in shaded areas, and fall is spectacular with spawning trout and changing foliage.
We utilize a variety of techniques, including fly fishing for the classic Au Sable experience and casting with lures or bait, depending on conditions and target species.
