This goes against the grain of this site, but I do love to cast a single hander long distances and make long slow retrieves for anything that swims. Thanks to Simon Gawesworth, I’ve been jacking those casts with this line: http://www.rioproducts.com/fly-lines/saltwater/coldwater/outbound-short/ The WF/10/SI overloads a 9 foot 10 weight perfectly. The bullet taper turns over […]

Anyone interested in pre orders of the DVD? I will flip the switch on the point of sale if I get enough feedback. SM4 features Tom Larimer and a bunch of his steelheading buddies as they travel from the rivers of Wisconsin to Steelhead Alley in Ohio, swinging flies for midwest Steelhead. Dave Pinczkowski, […]
I finished editing the show! Man, that was a project. Tom and his buddies did a great job and I can’t wait to get some feedback from the first who buy this one. In fact, there’s so much stuff in the show that we might have to make it a 2 disk set! It […]
Here’s one of my steelhead flies tied on a home made shank, using some polar bear I had lying around…
I’m busy with the edit. Hope to have it finished and out the door by April 1. No guarantees. Tom did a great job as did all the anglers in the show. The Midwest is a cold place in winter, I’ll tell you that much. JM
Using feathers from the ducks I kill during the season. Mallard, Pintail, widgeon, etc. Just something to look at while you wait for SM4 to come out. JM
True, it is the season of the summer run. Tis’ also the season of screaming elk and sore feet from chasing these creatures into deep canyons. They always seem to go down, not up… Freezer is full. Time to go fishing. JM
The great thing about Affiliate Networks is that you don’t have to do anything to make some $$$ other than post the link on your page in a place where people easily see it. The more Skagit Master DVD sales you generate, the more you make. 12% on $39.99 is about $5. I’ll […]
Home I’m a boat guy. The problem with boats is that one craft cannot do it all. My myriad of pursuits require specific capabilites. But since this site deals primarily with all things steelhead, if I had to chose one watercraft to use twelve months a year here near my homewaters, it would be […]
Being buried by production stuff keeps me away from trends and technological breakthroughs. But, since the release of SM3, (Thanks by the way for buying so many) I’ve been able to get a little fishing in. Not fishing in the sense that we discuss here, but fly fishing with a single handed rod for large, […]

But we knew that didn’t we? Here is the latest report to hammer a nail in the coffin of this crazy notion that creating short term revenues and long term environmental impacts at the expense of salmon and people who depend on them, is a good idea. http://www.wildsalmoncenter.org/programs/north_america/pebblemine.php JM
Tyler Corke Chapter 2 No Name River #4, BC By Jeff Mishler Lunchtime I angled the sled into some quiet water at the head of Patterson’s Run and came off step. I nestled the bow in behind a band of rocks and Tyler dropped the anchor off the bow, gave it about two fathoms of […]
This never looks good to a steelheader. Good thing I also Duck Hunt.
Pheasant Hunting in the frozen fog. Good friends. Good dogs. Good Beer (Too much of a good thing) and memories to keep it all in perspective. Ed Hepp photo credit Back to editing the show!
