SAGE X 990-4 A Cannon in the Hand by Jeff Mishler After winter steelhead season winds down, the months of May and June mean long hours spent casting shooting tapers into the wind hoping that, on at least one presentation, a spring chinook eats my fly. By the end of the day, a ten weight […]

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 […]

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 […]

Thanks to the people at SAGE and Rio Products, we got to cast many new rods and match them to various lines during the production of Skagit Master Volume 2. One killer outfit turned out to be a Z Axis 7126-4 and 525 gr. Skagit Short with 12 feet of T-14 or T-17. In tight […]
