So when you choose to run the streamer for steelhead, anything can bite. Usually that is a good thing, but when you pick up the two-hand rod in the early season you sometimes hook up on Kings. Not to be too picky, but when you get the grab your heart drops, but when you realize […]
Hoodies and steelhead have gone hand and hand for me for years. Chris Radar sporting his Mangled Fly Hoodie and great early run Manistee River Steelhead.

David S. pictured below with a great example of what my life will be obsessed with over the next 5 months. Fall fish look in great shape so far, they are big and they are mean. Can’t wait to stretch out some line and get the two-hander firing once again. David is also wearing the […]
The sad part of this story is this fly was never the same. After Mr. Esox got ahold of it and turned it into true Mangled Fly. It did not swim right ever again. We had to put to rest this buck tail, rabbit strip, rubber leg, flashabou creation. Will always have found memories of […]
If you follow the blog and or if you know me personally you know fall is one of my favorite times. Being busy chasing the muskie has caused a little bit of jealousy on my part of my fellow guides finding some of the early steelhead back home on the Manistee. But I will be […]
Bob Hinds sent in a picture of his new RO boat sporting a new Mangled Fly Media sticker. Looking good Bob, thanks for the picture.
