It’s no secret that the weather has been extremely hot recently…and let me tell you that my Norwegian blood can’t handle it…but when the fishing is good, the weather doesn’t bother me one bit! It’s been a busy couple of weeks here at Schultz Outfitters with all of us on the water almost everyday. The Flint and Huron Rivers have been fishing great recently with lots of fish coming to the net.
The past couple of weeks have been especially good for Hopper fishing on the Huron. This low/clear water has made a lot of the fish spooky (and the Canoes certainly don’t help), but LOTS of fish have fell victim to the Hopper presentation.

Despite the great hopper fishing, I’ve also been doing some Carp fishing. The river has been good to us in the ways of Carp too. Just like with the bass, the low/clear water has made the Carp spooky, but we have found plenty of fish that were more than will to take the fly!

Even at 84.6 years old, Carlos can still bring in the big ones! Great Job!
On another top-water note, we should expect to see the Hex hatch coming into full swing soon…there have been some sparse bugs around and the fish are definitely looking up. This warm weather should get thing rolling. Let us know if you would like to get out on the water in the near future. Dates are booking fast as we approach the Hex hatch so let us know soon!
