Cicada Hatch and Mangled Fly

Grass Carp

Bob H. sent in this great picture of his adventure with Blane Chocklett, Bob was hoping to muskie fish with Blane.  But with water so high Blane suggested that they go after Carp and Grass Carp on topwater with Cicada Patterns.  Bob had a great time and landed some impressive sized carp on the fly.  Bob thank you for the picture and support wearing the Mangled Fly Camo Hat.

Below is a video posted recently with more Highlights of what Blane does on the fly and the impressive amount of Cicadas currently invading his area.

Aaron Keefe sent in this photo of the Mangled Fly Zip-Up Hoodie getting the attention of a few Little Black Stones.  Thanks for sharing this pic Aaron.  This is a great time of year for this sweatshirt.  With morning temps usually a little chilly, nice to have a little extra layer.  One of the softest most comfortable sweatshirts I own.

We have 3 remaining classic Sweatshirts On Sale, for $20.  Originally priced at $55.  Inventory clear out.

Updated Design and New Colors

  • A new color of Digital Camo Mangled Fly Hat is now in stock.  The popular Sand Digital Camo from this summer has a new partner.  The New color has a little green in the design and is overall a dark shade.
  • Also added a different design to the Stocking Cap.  Went with the classic logo now.  We still have both the Fish Hook Design and Now the Classic Logo in stock.  Both stocking caps/ beanie’s are the same fleece lined stocking caps, that is one of the warmest stocking caps that I’ve worn.  With Mother Nature looking like she is going be playing business this winter, make sure you stay warm when you head out.

 

Zip-Up Sweatshirt

New Mangled Fly Sweatshirt & Hat

Two New Items just added to the Shop Area make sure to check them out.

  • Zip-Up SweatshirtNew Mangled Fly Zip-up Sweatshirt! This is one of the softest sweatshirts that I’ve ever worn.  From the same company that did our Muskie T-shirt.  If you have purchased the Muskie T, you know that soft feel that I’m talking about.  The Zip-Up Sweatshirt has been a request of years, and we finally found the correct sweatshirt to put the Mangled Fly Logo on. This is a great sweatshirt for brisk mornings out fishing, or just a cozy sweatshirt that allows you the comfortable working around the house.

 


  • Back in Stock but with a New Logo, is the popular Digital Camo Hat.  We went classic Mangled Fly Logo on this run of hats, and think they turned out great!

  • Jerry Darkes sent in a few amazing pictures from his AK adventure on the Naknek River this past week.  Swinging flies for big Alaska rainbows.  Jerry has supported Mangled Fly for years, wearing a new hat on his many adventures.  The Black Mangled Fly hat is great for fall / winter fishing hat, as black will absorb the sun rays and keep you warm.  Hat will also fit nicely under the Mangled Fly Beanie if you need a little extra warmth

 

  • A New Mangled Fly Camo hat is on the way, after a great summer of good luck with last batch of Camo hats , I can’t wait to see New Mangled Fly Camo Hat what we can catch with the New Camo hats. We went with the classic Mangled Fly Logo on this batch with a different Digital Camo pattern. Should have the New Hats on the site in a week or so. I’m current sold out of the original Camo Hats, but if you want one of the last ones, give Justin at Muskegon River Fly Shop a call he has a few remaining in stock.

  • A brand New Item to the Shop area will be the Mangled Fly Camo Board Shorts.  These shorts are meant to fish in, meant to get dirty, and even meant to swim in.  More like a board short, will dry quick and will not be too hot in the sun.  I had a chance to test these out before we put the Mangled Fly logo on them.  Very comfortable and a great short for summer time fun.  Black Camo Board ShortsWe will only have limited quantity and sizes available so get them while you can.  Hope to post inventory this week.  If they sell out before you can get a pair drop me an email and I’ll see if we have additional interest to get more in stock.

 

 

 

  • A popular item in the past has been our long sleeve sun shirts, Tidal and Orginal Long Sleeve (both now on Sale).  This year we added a twist of Camo to the look.  The picture below is not the finalized logo, we have added a little green and black to the Classic Mangled Fly Logo. I will make sure to post the updated picture of the shirt when they arrive this week.  I’m looking forward to this shrit for the late summer and early fall.  This is a staple of my clothing attire.  I wear them fishing, to the gym, and around the house.  Very comfortable and has UV protection against the sun.  Again we did a limited run in sizes and quantity so get it while you can.  But also another item if we don’t have your size, please don’t hesitate to let us know. long sleeve camo shirt
