Thank you to everybody that follows Mangled Fly Media blog, Happy New Year. Have some exciting things that I plan to post, and show in 2013. Thank you for a great year. Picture below was caught yesterday and did not think about until just now, but this LRB was the last fish caught in 2012 […]
The Titan Taper has been a standard line in my boat for a couple years, and now that it’s coming out in a new color, I have a list of waters that are going to get the Titan treatment. Thank you SA! This heavily weight forward fly line has been so good in the boat […]
Thank you to the SA Extreme Intermediate Skagit more and more people are enjoying streamer fishing for steelhead. The line has changed the way I teach and as we all know the end result is the pull. When you get the pull you build the confidence. When you land more fish more people want to try. […]

Erik Rambo shot a video of a cool release shot of a steelhead swimming away along the sand in the lower river. This video was shot this week in the high sun so we had good light and low clear water provides for a perfect effect. Took the video and converted it to a jpeg […]
Was just sent this article about the future of Musky in Michigan. Have my fingers crossed that some new regulations and different tactics by the DNR will lead to exciting new fishing in our inland lakes. Article by the DNR about what they have been up too regarding Musky!
So I know in my hearts of hearts that as the water temps cool, I’ll only have a couple more chances at the leaping, cartwheeling, summersaulting, jumping, kicking your butt steelhead leaps that I try to burn into the images of film (DSLR). But here is one from the week that turned out okay. Had […]
