Kevin had a trip on the Muskegon a few days ago where every fish came on the top fly, not the egg pattern, and they all came on the hard swing. As you can see, one of the hens had a broken jaw from a previous injury, but that didn’t seem to slow her down any.
And check out the new issue of Fly Rod and Reel for a great Pure Michigan ad.

I know you’re in there. Come out with your fins up.
Sometimes you hook a steelhead and you fight the steelhead and you net the steelhead and click click you take pictures of the steelhead and it’s off to another fish with a smile on your face. But then there are days when you hook five of the meanest, snarly-ass could care less fish in the river. They send you home with busted tippet and a bittersweet feeling of defeat in the pit of your stomach and all you have left is a somewhat ironic picture of your boat and the resolve to get back out and do it all again tomorrow.
Pretty cool spot. The narrator is awesome. Makes me want to get out and fish.
More powerful than a locomotive.
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.
Look! Down in the river!
It’s a carp! It’s an old lawn chair! It’s Steve Martinez!
This guy is like the Chuck Norris of the river. When you open a can of whoop-ass, Steve Martinez jumps out. Steve Martinez can start a fire with a magnifying glass…at night. Steve Martinez sleeps with a pillow under his gun. It takes Steve Martinez 60 seconds to watch 60 Minutes. But seriously, if you are ever so lucky as to get close enough to Steve Martinez, just look at his hands. One time Steve Martinez and Chuck Norris shook hands and Chuck Norris couldn’t make a fist for a week.
There is nobody I would count on more to get sh*t done than Mr. Steve Martinez.

News Update Friday
There were supposed to be pictures of a nice pike and a 4lb smallmouth today, but somebody never sent them to me. Maybe on Monday. Hopefully on Monday. Not that News Update Friday won’t be an enduring and endearing addition to our blarg.
