Just wanted to share the cover to the DVD.
Bugs in a Tub
Okay if you have fished with me, you understand that one of my strengths is not Latin terminology for aquatic insects. I have a very simple approach to aquatic life. Match the color and size. But sometimes knowing a little bit more than they other guy, can give you an advantage. Below is a video of a couple bugs in the tub. Late May and early June the Manistee as both the Siphlonurus Nymph and Baetisca Nymph swimming around pretty regularly, in certain sections. And yes I had to look those names up!
I have been using Ann Miller’s new Hatch Guide for Upper Midwest Streams. I highly recommend this book, contact Ann at AnnRMiller@aol.com . This is a great guide for on the stream and at the fly tying bench. Thank you Ann.
Wild Salmon and Patagonia
Video is about 10 min but gives a inside look at what Patagonia is trying to change in the world of Wild Salmon.
Patagonia Gear
I own the back pack and want the saltwater shell. Patagonia has some of the best gear for the environment I like to trek around in. Check out the video.

Rag Style Clown Egg
I would say about 10 years ago a good friend and fellow fly-fishing guide at the time Fred Stueber showed me my first clown egg. He also showed me a popular way how to tie an egg, popular that is out west, and the rag style clown has been a staple in my fly box since.
Just finished a how to tie video for the Hawkins site and thought I would also post it here, as it is one of my KISS Flies (Keep It Simple Stupid).
Steelhead versus streamer video
Had a blast making this one. Both on the river and in the editing room
