    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 […]

    A Reflection

    March 2013 Winter Steelhead You know how it is: Winter creates unpredictable water conditions, but everyday family life hands you so many variables that planning a two day foray to the coast and being lucky enough to see perfect water conditions coincide with your hall pass is luckier than holding a winning Powerball ticket. This […]

    Keep your friends close. And others? Well you decide.

    The Clan by Jeff Mishler By keeping our steelheading clan small, we avoid tossing around the Tinted Window Treatment because we don’t really care if one of us knows where the other has been hiding out. What’s the tinted window treatment? Remember that time you were cruising down the freeway and noticed in your truck’s […]

    If you care about the Lower Deschutes River….

    My buddy Dave Moskowitz and the staff at DRA are working hard to make sure our wonderful treasure known as the Lower Deschutes River, is managed for the long haul. The Deschutes River Alliance was formed when concerned stakeholders noted that there was no long term management plan for the river while observing substantial changes in […]

    Another Casting Flaw…D Loop Crashes On The Water

    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 […]

    Check your $%#&!

    by Jeff Mishler In the dinner tent of one of our Russian steelhead expeditions, Pete Soverel proclaimed to the weary clan of weather beaten anglers, “If you loose the fish because the terminal gear fails, that’s operator error”.  Interpretation: You failed the process of landing the fish if the leader parted, because you didn’t check […]

    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 […]
