Summer has arrived here in northern Michigan and we've been busy. Kevin and Steve made their annual move to Beaver Island at the end of May. On Memorial Day weekend we hosted a media outing on Beaver Island, bringing some of the leading fly fishing journalists and bloggers from around the country for four days of big carp, trophy smallmouth, beautiful water and a responsible number of adult beverages. 

Below you can check out some of the great writing and photography that resulted from the media outing. Several of the pictures in this newsletter were taken by Tim Romano. 

Steve and Kevin still have some great dates left for big carp and smallmouth on Beaver. If you've never experienced Beaver Island, you're really missing out. A truly amazing and unexpectedly exotic place.

And not to forget about trout, the hex hatch has been pushed back by cold weather and lots of rain here on the Pere Marquette so if you want to see some giant mayflies and the giant trout that eat them, we still have some great trout dates available for the rest of June and July. And don't forget about mousing!

We hope to see you soon.

     Good fishing.
