Trout season has started
A great way to start the trout season with a true yellow belly. Jon B scores a great michigan trout, while streamer fishing on the Upper Manistee. All indications point to a great trout season ahead of us.
Moldy Chum and T3H
One of my most favorite fishing blogs is Moldy Chum, and my favorite two-handed rod the Scott T3H (1288 to be exact) can now be found in one spot. Moldy Chum posted the video (thank you) that we worked long and hard on this fall/winter on there site today. Here is the link If you have not watched it yet, enjoy.
Scott T3H Video
Had a great time working with Erik Rambo on this little project. Great job Erik you do amazing things with the camera and at the editing desk. Thank you Erik for all your hard work.
Thank you Brad Petzke and Kevin Feenstra for helping in this project as well. And thank you Scott rods for making such a good product. If you like the two-hand rods, you owe it to yourself to pick up one of the new T3H’s, they are sweet.

Screen Shot from Spey Cast Video
From the same project that shows the B&W Fly swimming, here is a screen shot from the video shot of my Scott T3H ripping up the water on the Manistee River. I bought a Scott 1288 T3H and it’s an absolute gun. Fell in love with this rod as soon as I first got it wet this fall. Can handle any situation that I throw at it. Big heavy flies or longer bellies and lighter bugs. Rod just matches my casting style and everything Michigan big river fishing has to offer.
Last Fish of 2012, can’t wait for 2013
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 by MFM.
Happy New Year!
Keep on trying – season is almost over
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 a chance at true glory but had the wrong ISO and AF for the moment, and all I captured was blur.
First of the year (for me)
Day off Streamer Joy!
Getting an October day off, in the tail end of Sandy as the wind has started to die down gave me a chance to bring out the big gun and swing with the two-hander. Running the Extreme Intermediate Skagit from SA, my favorite fall line by the way, found some nice fish to play with.
Manistee River Sunrise – on the search for steel
Sunrise in the morning steelhead anglers take warning. I love the fall colors and this morning they were on full display.
