Can You Relate?
FORCES By Jeff Mishler Two maniacal steelheaders often share levels of interest, similar equipment, casting styles they’ve developed through trial and error to fit their body type, internal clocks, temperament, and who knows what else. The inevitable relationship dynamic of this sharing is analogous to something I remember from high school math and can be […]

Skagit Lines on Single Handers
I produced a short clip of Yours Truly showing how easy it is to incorporate a Skagit Line into your single hand rod fishing arsenal. For tight quarters, there’s really nothing better: I’m developing SM5 to cover this material, presented by expert anglers dedicated to using Skagit style lines on small rods. The world of […]

Fly Fishing Glossary for the 21st Century
Jay told me this book is for anyone living with or partnered with someone addicted to fly fishing. Makes sense. I’m sure half of what I say when chatting with other steelheaders makes no sense to an outsider. But I have read much of this book and highly recommend it to anyone who loves to […]

What’s the tinted window treatment? Remember that time you were cruising down the freeway and noticed in your truck’s […]

by Jeff Mishler I spent some time last week helping a new-to-the-sport angler/buddy work on his casting. My initial intent was to find a fresh steelhead for him, but his casting flaws brought the line, leader and fly down from the sky in a heap, keeping his fly too close to his casting position for […]

New Running Lines for Cold Water Steelheading
I love to fish mono behind my shooting heads. It’s effortless to jack casts of any length and have total control over the swing because mono, being so light, is easy to manipulate when the line is laid out on the water. But if you fish mono a lot, you know that winter steelheading with […]
