Flymen Fish Masks

/in , /by

Experimenting and liking what the vise is turning out.  But the tail of the tape is on the river.  How will it swim, how are the materials acting?  But so far so good, the new Fish Mask from the Flymen Fishing Co. are pretty cool.  Check them out here.  A great product that really finishes off a fly well.  Again the water test will determine how it effects swim action.  I look forward to the testing.

More to come of this type of pattern (feel like I’ve been saying this allot lately), but seriously more to come soon.  Hoping video and still pics of this pattern in action.  Tying up more muskie patterns for the annual adventures.  Love the chase of this predator before the chrome.

One of the greatest most unexplored fly fishing frontiers finally has a book that will help more people tap into a great resource.  Jerry Darkes is the author, of this well written, full of information, fly patterns, stories and maps to help anglers get into fishing the great lakes.  With endless miles of shoreline full of browns, coho, chinook, smallmouth, carp, and muskie.  It’s almost impossible to hit all the ports, harbors, and river mouths in a lifetime.  This book will help narrow in the hotspots if you have a desire to fish this great resource.

Buy this at your local fly shop first, but if they won’t get it for you, here is a quick link.

Got one! King Salmon on a Streamer

Went hunting this morning with my Scott S4s  9010/2, Wet Cell Tip 350 Grain from SA, and a well tied Russ Maddin Flash Deceiver.  And Scored.  Fished this morning with Russ Maddin and Alex Lafkas, thanks for all the laughs boyz.  Check out Alex’s webpage for additional fishing information and reports.

Have to be honest was happy to hook this guy, and not one of the 30+ pounders I have been hearing about.  Heard of a 39 pound King landed yesterday in Charleviox, Mi.

Someone stole my idea

/in /by

I’m proud of this camera crew, even though they stole my idea, but actually I was scared to do it.  Have been laughing with Russ Maddin the last couple weeks about strapping the GoPro to the Chinook that just enetered the river, but our financial backing has not come in yet.  And losing a $400 GoPro would not go over well with the boss.

Ed McCoy just sent me this picture of himself on River X on a well deserved day off.  Ed is sporting the Mangled Fly Media Hoodie, as summer turns into fall this hoodie is one of best I’ve ever worn.  Made my Champion.  It will keep you warm, and the hood fits just right on those really cool nights or mornings. Thanks for sharing the pic Ed, enjoy your time and tear up them bass.
