New Steelhead Sticker
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 truck, boat, cooler – or just about anywhere else you can think of.
2013 week 1 Muskie Adventure
Well not really a week but 12 days of Muskie 2013 just came to an end, still have 3 more days planned and can’t wait to get back. Wanted to throw up a quick pic, and give a couple highlights to the first part of the adventure.
- First trip was 2 days with two new muskie anglers and we popped the muskie cherry on day one. With each angler landing muskie, as I reported in a previous post we found the first tiger muskie on that trip.
- First muskie on topwater was accomplished going into the next week. Have this also on video and will be editing this with Erik Rambo. Muskie video highlights from a couple days filming above and below the surface will be coming shortly. Look for more on that soon.
- Had a chance to guide two women for the first time for Muskie, with a bunch of rain falling the day before river came up and seemed like most fish changed there feeding lines, but we did land a Muskie that day along with a half dozen pike. Ann M. picture to the (lower right) with her first ever Muskie on a fly.
- Jay Hickey (below) first time Muskie angler with his first and also my biggest fish of the trip, was an end to the first part. Great fish Jay!

Flymen Fish Masks
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 off a fly well. Again the water test will determine how it effects swim action. I look forward to the testing.
More to come of this type of pattern (feel like I’ve been saying this allot lately), but seriously more to come soon. Hoping video and still pics of this pattern in action. Tying up more muskie patterns for the annual adventures. Love the chase of this predator before the chrome.
