Ascension Bay Bonefish Club
2009
 Our
annual pilgrimage to the
Ascension Bay
Bonefish Club is now underway. Our first group
went down the first week of February. Reports from
them are that the fishing has been great. Lots of
bonefish being caught everyday. Even our customers
that are new to saltwater fly fishing have been wading the
flats and getting many shots at bonefish and many hook ups.
The permit fishing has been tougher but permit are being
caught as well as multiple shots at tarpon. As an
added bonus, many people caught Barracuda on the reef and in
the bay. The weather has been warm and the fishing
great. We will keep you posted as the month rolls out.
Spring Steelhead
 The
time will soon be upon us that the great lake steelhead will
be hitting hot in Ohio and Michigan. We are already
booking dates for spring outings. If you have not
fished for steelhead before or would like to try somewhere
new, now is the time. Michigan and Ohio streams are
only about 5 hours away and offer some of the best
steellhead fly fishing in the midwest. Call us at the
shop and we will set you up with a trip to remember.
Local Guide Trips
Don't forget, you can always book day outings with
FlyMasters to fish for smallmouth, wipers, white bass, brown
trout, rainbow trout, drum, and anything else that swims in
Indiana. Call us and will will show you just what kind
of great fly fishing is right out your back door! |

Canadian Northern Pike
A new trip for FlyMasters
this year; we will be heading up to Canada for Northern
Pike. We will be staying at
Camp
Anjigami in May in a great cabin on our own
private lake. We will mostly be fishing for Northern
but there will be opportunities for Brook trout as well as
Walleye. There will be four days of fishing and lots
of time to relax. For more details check out our
Pike fishing at Camp Anjigami page.
Beaver Island Carp
 Another new trip for us this year, we will be taking adventuresome fly fishers up to Beaver
Island Michigan (at the northern end of Lake Michigan) and
fish for three days for Carp. Vary similar to flats
fishing for bonefish you will be poling and walking the flat
in northern Lake Michigan and cast to 20 pound plus Carp.
Fly fishing for carp has been gaining in popularity over the
past 10 years and now is the time to get out and see what it
is all about. You will be surprised as to just how
challenging these fish can be to catch on a fly rod.
We have two groups going up in June for three days of great
fishing. Plus, Beaver Island is a great place to get
away from it all for a few days. Check out our Beaver
Island page on our web site for the detail and then give us
a call to book your spot. This one is going fast.
Sylvania Wilderness Smallmouth
 We
will be sending another group up to the Sylvania
Wilderness are this year for some great smallmouth
fishing. In the past we have done trips to this
area and gone the wilderness route; tents, portaging and
paddling. This year we will be taking it a little
easier and staying in a cabin on Crooked lake. We
will be fishing for five days in July which is one of
the best times for smallmouth in this area.
Crooked lake allows trolling motors, if you have one,
otherwise the local outfitter can supply us with canoes,
kayaks and boats. Reports from people last year
that their "arms ached" after a day of fishing for
smallmouth. Crooked lake also have a great
population of largemouth bass, Northern Pike and [big]
bluegill. We have already sold a few spots on this
trip and are certain it will go fast.
