Steelhead Changeover....

All tippets, gone and put away.

Lightening bugs, hares ears, pats stones, pmds, chubby chernobyls, caddis....bye bye

Shhhhhhhh, 9 foot tapered leaders, Lamson 1.5 and 2s.  Night night chronomids and seal buggers.

Happy resting thingamabobbers and lanyards.  See you all in April 2016.

Oh hey, how you doing Hardy?

Welcome back scandi and skagit.  We've missed you.

Ska-Oppers, Muddlers, traditionals.  Hells yes

Maxima, glorious maxima.  I love you in all your 8, 10 and 12 pound varieties

Amnesia, polyleaders, even big winter swing bugs.  Come on down.

Game over trout.  Game on Steelhead.

The Eyeball....

There's something unique to every fish you catch.

It isnt the length, the fins, or the coloration.  It's the eye.

So full of color.  So full of life.  So delicate.

Full of fright and adrenaline.   They all tell a bit of a story, dont they?

Felt and Snow...

Sometimes, you just have to get out of the freaking house

Missouri River Driftin....

My boys putting in work on the Mizzou.  The Lesage crew did a great job at capturing what this beautiful flow is all about

Now to find time to go join them sometime!

Dry Flies Baby, Dry Flies--Headhunters Video

Spring Training from scumliner media on Vimeo.



Maybe it's the dry fly action...

Maybe it's the fact that tossing a dry after a fall and winter lobbing nymph rigs is really sexy...

Maybe it's because I've been so steelhead obsessed that I'm having fun rediscovering trouskies...


Or maybe, the deal is this.  This video rules.....

Thanks Headhunters!

Millsfly's View from Montana...

A big thanks to Craig fishing impresarios The HeadHunters Fly Shop for posting up the Millsfly sticker at their shop.

God willing, we'll see you boys this summer!
