North Branch Outing Club (NBOC) was established by lumber baron T.E. Douglas after he realized his lumber business was on the decline. Douglas started promoting fly fishing on the North Branch of the Au Sable to prominent anglers of the time. Men and women anglers came from around the world to fly fish the North Branch of the AuSable. NBOC had members and guests such as Henry & Edsel Ford, Harvey Firestone, The Dodge Brothers, Thomas Edison, as well as Royalty from Europe. The North Branch Outing Club was the true "Elite American" fly fishing destination.
