Fly Fishing Guide Ed McCoy

Captain Ed McCoy grew up in Northern Michigan fly fishing for trout, salmon, and steelhead. Ed graduated from Michigan State University with degrees in Zoology and Fisheries & Wildlife. While attending MSU he worked on several research projects studying stream ecology and fish biology in Northern Michigan. Upon graduating from MSU he then attended the University of Michigan as a post-graduate research assistant. He was very fortunate throughout his college years to be afforded the opportunity to do research and fish some of Michigan’s most notable trout streams like the Au Sable, Manistee, Muskegon, Pere Marquette, and Pine Rivers. Ed is currently a full time guide in Michigan with over 20+ years of experience. He enjoys every aspect of fly fishing and is very passionate about dry fly fishing for trout. Several of his “go to” patterns are available through the Montana Fly Company that you can buy online here at MangledFly.
