Well folks, I have moved! I am now on the north side of Foote Pond, overlooking a big hill covered in beautiful forest above a cedar swamp (and some springs) that leads down to the river. Through the trees I can see across the Au Sable Valley and sometimes I feel like I'm living in the mountains! So, to celebrate and because they both needed time away from their (high-pressure) corporate jobs, my buddies Joe and Todd came north again for a visit. Not many fish taken, mostly middle-of-the-day exploration because we wanted to party on the back porch in the evenings when I would usually go fishing myself). But, some pretty country seen, and photographed for your viewing pleasure here. Not nearly as spectacular as Jason's trips, but most pleasing in their own North Woods way! Enjoy.

No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...

I saved some exploration for these guys so I myself covered some new territory, like that little cold stream tumbling in from the canyon...thinking there will either be (big) brookies or possibly some (also big!) pike sitting right below that little sand fan at the mouth...

Beautiful, looks like you guys had a good time! So much to see in northern Michigan, my wife and I are heading up to pictured rocks hoping to do the kayak tour, and camping on the beach in a yurt. I have spent a big part of my season of fishing in the mason tract, which is another treasure! Good to hear from you, take care, Mike.

Thanks to all! I live in a really beautiful place and it's always nice to show it off, especially since I am exploring new territory. More to come on my part!
BTW I still do have accommodations for wayward Troutnuts that find their way to my neck of the woods. I may have lost quite a bit of space but still have the foldout couches! All are invited to come and explore, loads of fish-filled waters to explore!

Thanks for the correction Mister Nerder Birder, duly noted. For those that don't know on here, birds are the ONLY group of organisms that have official common names. As in, there is no such thing as a "seagull" or "Canadian goose". Buncha nerds...look who's talking!
;oD
