Dying Materials

Here is a good piece on dying materials.  It can be very simple sometimes, other times you feel like breaking shit.  These are some good basic rules but the only way to figure it out is to try it for yourself and keep good notes.  I have all my tails ready for dye and soon the musky lab will be brewing up.  Jess has no idea what she got herself into when she met me (insert evil laugh).

Hardly Strictly Musky the Southern Classic

This annual gathering of the musky tribes will take place May 2nd and 3rd.  This is sure to be a weekend of great fishing, and bullshitting among the country's musky fly anglers.  The event will take place on the banks of the Collins River in McMinnville, TN and is sponsored by Towee Guide Tested Skiffs and Scientific Anglers.  Along with the fishing is a BBQ dinner, craft beer tasting, and a fundraiser for Project Healing Waters.  If interested in attending get a hold of Todd Gregory of Towee.  Entree fee is $145 per angler.

Fishing Funnies!!!!

Thought I would post some funnies that I have seen lately.  

This will start the Meme of the Week now.  Enjoy.

Where it all began.

This is what got it all started for me several years ago.  This movie is literally what made me crazy about fish with teeth.  When it comes to musky flyfishing Brad Bohen is the man.  Brad runs Musky Country Outfitters out of Hayward Wisconsin and he has forgotten more about musky fishing then most of know about the topic.  He is also the holder of 2 world records on the fly.  His movie Zero to Hero has converted a hell of a lot of trout fisherman into predator nuts.  If you're looking for a world class experience give him a call. He knows the waters of Wisconsin like the back of his hand and will do anything he can to put you on the big one.

Musky Mania in the City of Brotherly Love

This past weekend I did a demo for the Sporting Gentleman in Media, PA near Philadelphia.  Corey came along as well. There is not a lot of opportunities to fish for musky or pike in southeast PA but I assure you musky mania is alive and well down there.  There was a ton of interest from the locals and even people from many miles away showed up.   I did a presentation on predator fly fishing and then Corey and I tied flies for several hours.  The Sporting Gentleman is a top notch outfit.  Check them out some day if your in the area.
