So true about Trout fishing
“Only an extraordinary person would purposely risk being outsmarted by a creature often less than twelve inches long, over and over again.”

The Fiberglass Manifesto Midnight Creeper Review
Thank you the Fiberglass Manifesto for the review – http://thefiberglassmanifesto.blogspot.com/2014/05/midnight-creeper.html
Pic of the Day – Loving the Blues
Cool blues on the cheek of this dry fly eating Michigan Brown Trout. Put down the streamer rods and broke out the Scott G2 once again to capture this resectable 16″+ Hendrickson sipper. Also every day more and more impressed with the SA GPX Sharkwave taper. Day in and day out putting it in new clients hand this line is amazing.
Sharkwave
It’s May 8th and dry fly trout season has been off to a slower than normal start, but the limited days of dry fly fishing that I have in the Sharkwave Trout GPX has been in my boat and customers are loving it. With Hendrickson’s popping, image below was captured this week on the Pere Marquette, and Black Caddis just around the corner time to go #liveanddiebythebigdryfly
SharkWave: Triple Textured from Scientific Anglers on Vimeo.
Three textures, three colors, one awesome line. The SharkWave is the world’s first triple-textured fly line. Available now in GPX, Ultimate Trout, and Saltwater tapers.

Going for trout and Mr. Steelhead showed up
Stripping streamers for trout and Mr. Steelhead wanted some. A nice surprise for Wayne today as we fished the Pere Marquette. Great job Wayne battling this guy on your trout gear.
Pic of the Day – San Juan Worm
Had to get down and dirty on the Upper Manistee, with a slower than normal couple days of trout fishing. Had to bust out all the tricks. Have honestly not thrown the worm, the san juan worm, since my Colorado days some 15 years ago. Used to fish the worm on the Upper Colorado River on my days off.
Bobber Down!
On the wish list – Northern Lights
Great video of the Northern Lights in AK, this is on my bucket list for sure someday.
Technicolour Alaska from Alexis Coram on Vimeo.
There are some things in this world that everyone deserves to experience with their own eyes. I headed to Alaska in February with the hope of catching a glimpse of the Northern Lights with mine. That glimpse turned into an extravaganza…a party in the sky, and I was an onlooker, a face in the crowd…awestruck, mesmerized, feeling like the luckiest girl in the world. Night after night I was captivated by bright and colorful lights dancing wistfully above me; a graceful representation of the light in my soul. These were enchanted nights like I've never experienced. And while my camera captured a play-by-play of the spectacle, I could be found dog sledding through snow-covered forests, relaxing by the fire in a toasty cabin, or simply laying down in the snow and drifting into the dance.
This was the most amazing trip of my life so far…and here it is, summarized in under 3 minutes. This is my first time time lapse film, so it means a lot that you're here, reading this, stepping into a very special piece of my past.
Thank you. x

Happy Angler putting on a Sharkwave
One of my favorite little stickers. Means new fly lines. Stringing up the new 5wt Skarkwave Trout and GPX for the 2014 season. Can’t wait for the dry fly. Current BWO’s and Little Black Stones. But Russ Maddin reported the first Henny of the year. We are so close!
