I’ve been working on a “How To” video channel for steelheaders interested in taking their skills to the next level. We produce the Skagit Master DVD’s to help you move up the ladder by refining angling skills using the latest rods, lines and flies. SM3 promises to do the same, but with your fly tying […]
You wouldn’t know it with the rain we continue to get. Fortunately, the fish are late, still coming in numbers and the crowds are off chasing bigger chrome stuff. It’s my favorite time of the year, this late spring thing. You have the river to yourself, and the fish cooperate if you can […]
Okay, here goes… I’m developing Volume 3 and so far sponsor interest is strong. I want to feature steelhead flies, in their full glory, or not. I plan to explore traditional flies a bit but focus mostly on modern steelhead fly concepts: materials, design, hooks, shanks, rigging, etc…I also plan to feature some non-celeb type […]
I was wondering how many of you Skagit Master fans would be interested in an HD/Blu Ray version of our shows. The best player for Blu Ray I’ve discovered is a Sony Play Station. So, if you have one of those or a Blu Ray player, are you game? The retail would be […]
As of December 28th, our fulfillment company has begun filling pre orders. No more 3 week wait. If you order now, you will receive the DVD in a matter of days. Yippie. Thanks, Jeff Mishler
Sorry for the long wait and delay. I’m about to put this to bed. Should have the Volume 2 button above activated by early next week for purchases of “Skagit Master Volume 2 Featuring Scott Howell, Steelheading Outside the Box”. I’m currently cutting a killer trailer for you all. I’ll post it here and on […]
Been editing Skagit Master 2 Featuring Scott Howell for, oh it seems about 5 years now….The hard part is deciding what to leave on the cutting room floor because if I put it all in the show, you’d be looking at 5 hours of fishing…and who wants to do that right? Right? Ah c’mon. You […]
Time to finish the DVD. Check out the beauty I called in for my good friend JD.
Tough choices: This Or This! Out of the office chasing bones till Sept 20th…
It had been nearly 20 years since my dad and I floated the big D together. Thankfully, a couple good buddies have fathers about my Dad’s age and they hit it off. Big Time! Can you say “We went to Brown Town early and full speed!” While my dad struggled with the two hander, he […]
The fiscal demands of life require that I travel to work until the 21st of August. All is good with production. The NU was great. Stay tuned for Skagit Master Volume 2 Featuring Scott Howell info.
The next 5 days I hope to be full of popping, skating, rushing rises, jumping fish and a big sigh of relief. We’re wrapping things up. As this schedule is winding down I’m realizing that I probably won’t have the DVD ready for release until the first week of October….Hope you can wait that long. […]
Starting this Wednesday. Finally! I spent Thursday and Friday on the North, and though the water conditions are great, I didn’t much sign of steelhead. One great toilet bowl flush around my skater and word from Howell that his client landed a nice fish that evening. 5 more days of shooting and we’re locking it […]
Just looked back at our sales records and thanks to a ton of Ed Ward fans and some loyal fly shops, we’re now planning more projects under the Skagit Master Brand…. The entire Skagit Master series will consist of: Volume 1 Featuring Ed Ward, Volume 2 Featuring Scott Howell, Volume 3 Featuring Flies, Flies and […]
Skagit Master Volume 2, featuring Scott Howell is near completion. We think we’re gonna call it “Chasing Steelhead with Two Hands”. The film contains a lot of thinking outside the box steelheader stuff, like how to get your fly down through 6-8 feet of fast, cold winter water to resting steelhead. Basalt bedrock rivers like […]
After two weeks of hard core, get’ er done, up at 5 am, to bed at midnight, in the land of gigantic steelhead, Scott and I wrapped up a stretch of successful shoot days, ending the chapter that will be a large component to the upcoming DVD, Skagit Master Volume 2, Featuring Scott Howell. We […]
