Egg Sucking Leech – Picture of the Day
With everything about perfect right now to swing flies. Perfect river temperature, plenty of steelhead around, and the desire of anglers and guide. The fly tying bench has been getting some serious use the past couple days. Shot this photo with the use of a UV light to bright up the egg sucking head of […]
Process has started – Jumping steelhead
So I figure I have about a 2-3 week period this year to capture the perfect jumping steelhead. With water temps dropping like a stone, they are not going to make this easy. Here is the first attempt of 2013 caught yesterday.
Picture of the Day – Fall Brown Trout
Kean O. with a great fall brown trout in epic colors. Great day on the river yesterday, seeing the old trout water one more time before old man winter locks her in. Streamer fishing was pretty consistent, while not too many would actually put the streamer in there mouth, plenty came out and played with […]
Picture of the Day – Hoodie and Steel

New Go Pro Studios

Fireman pants and chrome
The contrast of the bright orange pants with the green tree line, and the pure beauty of a Michigan fall run steelhead. I love taking pictures of these fish.
Fall Colors
Colors seem to explode yesterday morning (once the rain stopped), this bank along the Manistee River always has great color and is a wonderful back drop for anglers as we search for chrome.
