    After a hiatus of several years, the Blue Angels were once again shaking the windows of downtown merchants and wowing the crowds last weekend in Traverse City, Michigan. Their show was a hit and drew a crowd of what experts estimate was nearly 500,000! Here a just a few shots that Jackie Andres took while we enjoyed the traditional "Pig Roast" at the Apache Trout Grill during the show.

    The Hex (hexagenia limbata) hatch is in full swing right now and is occurring on most northern Michigan rivers including the Boardman, Upper Manistee, and others nearby. Large brown trout are the target for most anglers as the hatch intensifies. Ben Brown and Thane Herbert scored a couple of 20+ inch brutes last night. Good going guys!
