Ethan had an opportunity to get out with fly fishing manufacturer rep, Adam Aikens. This is one of a few nice fish they put to hand the other day!

Huron Pines project to build new bridge over Pigeon River near Vanderbilt

Huron Pines project to build new bridge over Pigeon River near Vanderbilt VANDERBILT — Conservation organization Huron Pines is breaking ground this month on a new bridge where Ford Lake Road crosses the Pigeon River at a popular campground east of Vanderbilt.

The trout bite continues to improve with the early spring weather. Bugs are popping and fish are starting to take notice. The streamer bite remains strong.

[04/03/21]   We’re ready to rock! I’ll be in the shop 10a-6p today. Swing on by!

Ethan

[04/02/21]   Good morning!

The shop will remain closed today, Friday, April 2nd.

Yesterday, I got my second dose of the vaccine, and I’m throwing a fever this morning. Due to our low staffing levels until season opener, I’m covering the shop on the weekends in April. Drew is on guide trips all weekend.

Therefore, for the safety of our guests and fellow team members, we made the decision to keep the shop closed today.

Feel free to DM me or call my cell phone. I’ll be available all day - I’ll just be home.

Thanks for your understanding!

-Ethan

I was fortunate enough this past week to get a little roll casting in with Matt Robinson from Boyne Outfitters “up North”. Fantastic weather and even better scenery.

Meet Kory!

Kory is joining the crew here at Boyne Outfitters this season, and he is already having a banger start with a solid streamer eating brown while floating with guides Ethan & Drew.
•
If this is any indicator to how his season is going to go, he better be ready!

[02/17/21]   March 12 & 13, 2022.

It may be a little more than a year away, but we are looking forward to reconnecting with old colleagues and meeting new friends.

Sunny days have us excited for warm summer afternoons chasing halos.
•
One thing we pride ourselves on here at Boyne Outfitters is our “walk & wade” game. We don’t just drive to the nearest bridge access... we explore. A lot of northern Michigan creeks are not floatable - in fact, Pigeon River Country has a moratorium on commercial watercraft - but they are fantastic places to get lost and catch beautiful wild trout. If you enjoy hiking and untouched, wild places... give us a call. We’d love to show you around.

“Everyone has a bucket list.
For most of us that includes the Bahamas or a similar destination for bonefish. Carp fishing the flats in the Great Lakes should also be on that list. Why? Crystal clear water in an other-worldly setting. Once you get out on those flats you’ll forget you’re in the Midwest and swear you’re in the salt.”

BREAKING: It is expected that the State of Illinois and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will announce this afternoon that the preconstruction engineering and design agreement for the Brandon Road Lock and Dam project has been signed.

Michigan previously agreed to pay $8 million of the approximately $10 million non-federal cost share of the project that would keep invasive carp out. If invasive carp enter the Great Lakes, Michigan's annual $2.3 billion recreational fishing industry could collapse.

MUCC will break down what this means more in depth as further details become available.
