Jungle Fish – Costa Sunglasses
Follow a group of anglers as they uncover an ancient fish in the heart of a south-American rainforest. If they can figure out how to catch them on a fly rod, the fish could save the local community.
Fly Tying Details – Pic of the Day
Ed McCoy is one of the best fly tiers and I’ve had the opportunity to spend many of sessions watching him master his craft. Erik Rambo captured this picture of Ed tying flies and as usual paying extra attention to the little details.
Fish “whats for dinner” – Pic of the Day
Captured this Great Blue Heron with a little bullhead snack. Trying to do my best Kevin Feenstra imitation. Kevin has always captured the best Blue Heron eating pictures. While this is not to his standards I’ll take it, for my first try.
Tying Flies – Pic of the Day
Mangled Fly contributor Erik Rambo captures Ed McCoy tying big flies late at night. Something about the process of tying a new fly for the next day, that gives the angler more confidence. Taking what you have learned from the previous day and implementing that knowledge. Ed McCoy is a master at this craft.

Same line new name – Freightliner Skagit
Same great line (with a few minor changes) but with a new name. SA launches the Freightliner Skagit, which is the same line from the past few years that we have been using. The blue line as we called it in the boat. The Intermediate Skagit gets a new name and a much requested cosmetic improvement , the rear loop will now have a black highlight to help you see the transition from the head to the running line.
New video from SA feature SA Ambassador Jeff Hickman.
