These are the stairs at Iargo Springs on the Au Sable. There are 300 stairs that go directly down the side of a big hill to the natural cold water springs at the bottom which is where the first indians made camps many years ago. I always enjoy going down there but had not done so in the past 10 yrs since it was a bit of a climb coming back up. But this year since I am no longer a smoker and have lost over 120lbs it was no problem for me at all to do it.
Pete the best part of the skinny guy fishing this year is that the boat goes faster now with less weight in it lol. I finally managed to hit 50mph with it this trip.
Smallmouth doin’ what they do best…gettin’ air
A double
My nephew Cody with a bass on the rod I built for him last Christmas
My niece Kristina with a bass on the rod I built for her the Christmas before last
At least the chocolate chip cookies my sister made didn’t go to waste, these guys came up on the cabin deck every night to partake in some delicious treats. There were three of them so I named them Fred, Lamont & Grady
How do you know when you have done a LOT of fishing? When you have blisters from fly casting at the halfway point of the trip. This is what happens when you fly cast for 8hrs each day.
The new & improved thinned down Steeldrifter and his 115hp chariot of the past 2 weeks
he bounty after a morning of birch bark hunting. I have a bunch of it so I’ll probably be offering some on the site shortly after I clean it and cut it
Sitting in me casa after a long day of fishing uploading pics & videos from the day to my new fishing laptop I bought before vacation
A pair of Sand Cranes in a field. Always a neat bird to see.
Evening fire roasting marshmellows back at the cabin after a long day on the river
My favorite spot on the river to sit and watch the sunset. My dad use to take me to this spot all the time to see the sunset when I was a little boy.
And that does it for the pictures. I hope you guys enjoyed them, I know I enjoyed the trip immensely this year and am already looking for ward to the next trip back to the cabin sometime next month. I still have a ton of video to upload from my laptop and edit into a watchable 10 min or so HD video so I will get that done shortly for you to see.
