Had the opportunity to fish with Ed McCoy the other day, and captured him releasing this wild steelhead. Ed is wearing one of the best rain coats on the market the Patagonia SST. Patagonia Fly Fish just posted this image on there Instagram account. Thanks Ed for being a good sport and letting me keep your hands cold a few moments longer.

ESL old standby

October 29, 2015/in Spey, art of two hands, steelhead fishing/by Jon Ray

New and fancy patterns are always coming out, but sometimes going old school is the best policy. The ESL is a standard pattern. ESL stands for Egg Sucking Leech. Yesterday we got on the board with a fresh steelhead up from the lake that very morning, if I had to guess. On a orange headed black rabbit strip egg sucking leech.

Great News Winter fishing is back!!!

For the past two winters it’s been tough in northern Michigan with extreme cold ruling the days. But this just coming out from the NOAA brings a warm glow to my heart. I know myself, Ed McCoy and Kevin Feensta will be taking advantage of this and get in as many winter steelhead days as we can.
