AuSable Whirlpool 11.23.08

Fished for steel this evening below the whirlpool access. Almost 2 months since I've been on the water and I sure felt great to put the waders on! I've gotta finish up this barn project and get back to more important things! I fished flies tonight with the duck.n.chuck rod and also played with the Spey rods a bit swinging streamers. No action on either. I saw some whitefish in the first hole below the launch, but they wouldn't take my offering. Below is a picture of one of the big slow deep holes that look to be promising for fall/winter steel. I'm looking forward to learning this river now that I have some decent steelhead water within a reasonable drive from my new house.
