My 2013 Muskie chase has come to an end as of today, but had one of the best sun rises of the year. Brings to mind the old sailors saying. Red Sky in the morning, sailors take warning. As the last day brought with it 20-30 mph winds that chased us off a little […]
Jerome S. who started this adventure 3 years ago, today achieved a new PB (personal best) muskie. Great fish Jerome, nice job. Any muskie on a fly is a great fish, but some are always a little more special.
David S. pictured below with a great example of what my life will be obsessed with over the next 5 months. Fall fish look in great shape so far, they are big and they are mean. Can’t wait to stretch out some line and get the two-hander firing once again. David is also wearing the […]

Bob Hinds sent in a picture of his new RO boat sporting a new Mangled Fly Media sticker. Looking good Bob, thanks for the picture.
While the sea-run steelhead of the West Coast get a lot of attention, we think our Great Lakes steelhead are special, too. This is our take on the Midwest’s unique “Low Sodium” version of these epic migratory beasts. The 6” oval sticker is perfect to show the Great Lakes steelhead scene some love on your […]

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 […]
