Picture of the Day – Hoydenpyle Trout
One thing about fishing the Hoydenpyle is that you need to come to that section with a full cup of belief and a whole bunch of desire. Stripping streamers on a bright sunny blue bird day will test all that desire in this section. Trout below came in the bottom of the 9th with two outs.
POD was actually taken Monday with a last minute cancellation, I personally had a chance to venture out and throw some fur and feathers around. Great to throw overhead again, and get back into the game. With my spring steelhead season officially over for the year, time to focus on other species, hatches, and inland lake mysteries.
So much respect for those guys.
Took this photo the other day, and even though it’s not the best. There is something about the release of a fish back to the water that will always make me try and capture that moment. Pictured is Jason returning a spring-run steelhead back to the Manistee River.
March 3rd brought us the biggest snow storm of the winter season. 14 inches of wet heavy snow. While digging out the drive way the hard working men and women of Benzie County came to clear the roads for safe travel.
March 2nd a great day of steelhead fishing today with Terry L. We had a very nice mixture of chrome and winter fish. Had a second to snap a fin picture from one of our adult fish today. Spring steelhead fishing is really picking up and had some cancellations open up the calendar, feel free to contact me for open dates.
Feb 28th Picture of the Day is Something Different.
Have always liked the chase different stuff with the fly, yesterday marked the first day of the spring time northern hunt. As ice out occurs many different species will come into the shallow waters. Northerns are one of those species. Yesterday marked the first test day of spring type fishing.
Feb 23rd POD was shot this week. As Erik Rambo does his thing with the Audio and Video on our latest project. More coming soon.
Had a great email back and forth session with Simon today, check out one of his videos. Working on getting this type of footage and working on getting this good in the editing room. Thanks for sharing Simon! Nice work!

Feb 13th Picture of the Day
An unidentified clinging mayfly. More than likely a cahill or sulphur. Did a little macro work on a small creek near the house. Just needed to get out and stretch the legs. Click on picture to make it bigger.
