Fly Fishing Resort 

 

My brother, Bob, is a true fly fishing lover.  After work every night, if he could, he would grab his fly fishing gear and his son, Andrew, and head for the nearest fly fishing hole to catch whatever lives in that particular body of water.  The few weeks a year that he will actually take some vacation time, he will head for more serious fly fishing spots such as the Lake Hubbard fly fishing Resort in Michigan. lake hubbard fishing resort image

 

Hubbard Lake is Michigan’s 2nd largest inland lake. It is beautiful and scenic and full of history. It is known for having the most scenic views in North America. It is well stocked with bass, yellow perch, northern pike, tiger muskie, trout and walleye. Not only is it a popular fly fishing destination in the summer it is also widely visited in the winter for ice fly fishing.

 

Of all the fish my brother, Bob, has caught while visiting the Lake Hubbard fly fishing Resort, I would say the walleye is the most interesting.  It is a northern cold water fish that has very large eyes, hence the name “walleye.”  Its eyes reflect the light which gives it almost perfect vision in dark and murky waters.  It feeds mostly at night which is the best time to try to catch one of these unusual and rare fish.   About the only time during daylight that you could try to catch the walleye would be if it was to become cloudy and windy and the lake water would become choppy.  The fishermen who frequent the lake call this the “walleye chop.”  These large eyed fish love to feed when the water is rough and dark.  The beat the other fish to the bait offered due to their incredible vision.  I better stop with the fly fishing tips… I don’t want to give away all of Bob’s fly fishing secrets.

 

 

Lake Hubbard offers some of the most majestic views in North America. The area surrounding the Lake Hubbard fly fly fishing lodge has grown tremendously over the years. There is much to see and do for the whole family. Golfing, shopping, and kid friendly activities are all nearby.
