Tis the Season for Poppers

If you haven’t seen this, you could, if you owned SM2. Or watch it here… I looked through my boxes of flies recently and realized I will most likely never use 90% of them. Every time a new fly concept surfaces, it decreases the likelihood even greater. The Ska-opper is a blast to tie. Pop […]

How To: Whatever You Want To

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 […]

Oregon Department of Forestry uses old science…Duh!

Thanks to Bob Van Dyk we are in the loop on this issue.   Oregon State University just released a report blasting The Oregon Department of Forestry for using old science in their management plan of the Tillamook/Clatsop State Forest.   Conservationists and other ESA advocates have been claiming this for a while.  Finally the […]

Winter is Winding Down

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 […]

Winter is Marabou time

I forgot how much movement marabou produces when the water is cold, off color and the current not too heavy.  Fished these this weekend and love the look. JM

SM2 in Blu Ray???

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 […]

Skagit Master 2 is at the warehouse and on it’s way!

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

Last Days Before SM2 Hits The Streets

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 […]

Getting Close To The End

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 […]

Editing hard after four days on the Big D.

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 […]

Last Days of Production

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. […]
