Great fly fishin trip!

Spent a day on the Maple River in Northern Michigan, rated as a blue-ribbon stream. I fished a section of river located approx. 1 mile from the river's dam, the tailwaters of which being the blue-ribbon rated section.

Despite not having the prestigious rating of it's downstream section, the stretch I fished was a brook trout heaven. I caught 18-20 fish, I lost count after around 16.

All of these brookies were caught on a single parachute adams fly!

The thing got so beat up that I ended up applying floatant after every hit, which were almost on every cast.

I fished ripples around evening.

I only managed, or tried, to take a picture of one fish...

East? I can't think of and named rivers east of it. Well, unless you mean the east branch of the Maple.
