Fly fishing the Huron River at Dexter-Huron Metropark, Northwest of Ann Arbor Michigan
Fly fishing the Ephron Leukon (White Fly) hatch on the Huron River yesterday I had a couple of interesting experiences.
One: I got stuck in mud above my knees.
Two: A dead tree trunk fell from the shore and landed about 20 yards from me while I was untangling a rats nest in my fly line. Had I not been stopped to work on my line I would have been standing right under it when it fell. As it happened, the waves it generated washed right around me along with a bunch of bark and other debris. It doesn't look like much laying in the river, but it looked HUGE while it was coming down.
Three: I caught some fish!
Now, that doesn't happen every day!

One of the benefits of walking allot of trails in area parks is that I sometimes get to see views like this.
