The Small town of Lovells sits along the North Branch of the AuSable River between Grayling and Lewiston. A stones throw away, or more like a fishing cast away, from the river is a brown lodge with yellow trim. The historic building was originally built by Thomas E. Douglas and named the Douglas House. He constructed a sawmill and general store in the logging community of Lovells around 1898. He erected a new store in 1903 after fire destroyed the first one, and in 1916 he built a hotel addition named the Douglas House. Electricity generated in his mill illuminated the twenty guest rooms and lavish common spaces. From the beginning, the hotel headquartered the North Branch Outing Club, a popular sportsmen’s club, which drew members like Henry and Edsel Ford, John and Horace Dodge, and Charles Nash. Douglas’s daughter, Margaret, ran the hotel until 1971. She continued to live in the Douglas House until 1991.

In 1996 the property reopened as a bed and breakfast, continuing to provide lodging to hunting and fishing enthusiasts. In 2001 the Douglas House was designated a state historic site by the state of Michigan, and In 2002 it was listed is on the national register of Historic Places. The North Branch Outing Club still offers world class fly fishing guides.

Evidence of didymo (aka rock snot algae) has been found in the Au Sable near Parmalee. Thank you to Michigan Trout Unlimited for doing the monitoring necessary to identify what is the first scientifically confirmed evidence of didymo on the Au Sable. This is not a bloom. Rather, these are didymo cells. Still, we must do our part as best we can. Studies have shown some success with Formula 409. Best practices are to use as much different gear between fishing spots as possible, changing anchor ropes, and really cleaning your gear. Anglers of the Au Sable has placed wader cleaning stations located throughout the Au Sable system (pictured here). Here is the DNR’s statement on the matter.
