Default Float Times!!

Remove this ad.....
become a Supporting Member today.
Someone came up with the great idea of having float times for different stretches of rivers in the four corners and UP of the state. Please post float times with fish and without fishing (since we all fish at different speeds). Add the stretch of river such as launch site to launch site.

This should provide a great resource for the membership. I would suggest to make the reference much easier to catalog that the stretch of river (such as Tippy to High Bridge.....or......Croton to Thornapple) be used in the Title screen.

The thread will be split into each river section and made into a sticky.

Thanks......

Thumbs Up AuSable River (Main Stream)

Keystone to Stephan bridge about 4 hours. The pull out is just past Gates lodge at the canoe pull out. This section has fantastic cover and some fantastic fishing.

Stephan's to Wakeley is about 5 hours. This stretch has some great wholes and great cover to fish,bring the streamers with you. Remember, you have to get that bug within inches of the cover. if you don't loose em you aren't using em. One fly for the fish, one for the trees and one for your vest.
