The Story Behind the Print:

The fabled Au Sable River is located on the Lower Peninsula of Michigan and boasts nearly 180 miles of freestone trout fishing. A formative influence on the young Ernest Hemingway in the early 1900s, the Au Sable continues to provide world-class trophy trout fishing opportunities year-round. In 1889, European brown trout were introduced, followed by brook and rainbow trout the following year, displacing the native Arctic Grayling. Over time, the Au Sable's healthy population of Brown Trout firmly established this watershed as one of the best Blue Ribbon trophy trout streams east of the Rockies.
