What are you doing this weekend?

Its Friday!!!!! YOU MADE IT!

So my Fishy Friends what are you gonna do this weekend? Thank God that here in Michigan we have a few things going on this weekend. At least I have something to do. Lord knows it won't be on the river! Tonight we have the Fly Fishing Film Tour in Ann Arbor. Hope to see everyone there. See link below for details or call Schultz Outfitters at 734-544-1761.

Next we have the Outdoorama going on this week and weekend. A outdoor show that covers everything out of doors. At least if you have cabin fever you can get out of the house and do something. Better bundle up though, Ole Man Winter is not done yet.

So sorry I have not had any adventures or my own fish pictures to share. But the good news is we made it through another work week. Bad news is Mother Nature is not co-operating with the Master Plan. The plan of getting out and catching some fish. There better be no excuses on your equipment NOT being ready, your fly box or tackle box better be full and ready to go. You have had all winter to work on these things. 

Below you will find some fish porn and a few videos for your pleasure. Today's blog post is short and sweet. Thanks so much everyone for your support, it means a lot to me. I think its so cool people out there are interested in what I have to say. At least sometimes anyways.

Feel free to comment or share what your doing this weekend in your neck of the woods.

I leave you with this:

"It has always been my private conviction that any man who pits his intelligence against a fish and loses has it coming."

Tight Lines my Friends.

WEEKEND EDITION (YOU made it!)

Happy Hallmark Holiday!

Got BEADS?

Spring is fast approaching, we all hope, right? It is time to get geared up for Steelies! We would like to welcome one of our newest sponsors here on S & M. 

We want to say Thanks to the Great Lakes Steelhead Company for their support and the BEST beads on the Planet. The best part about the company is they also Steelhead fish. They are just as passionate about what they do, as we are.

I ask everyone out there to give GLSC your support, they are just regular folks like you and me. Check out all the different bead colors and sizes to choose from. The beads are quality and the fit and finish is perfection. You won't be disappointed that's for sure. Don't take my word for it check out there website at http://glsteelheadco.com 

The surprise color for me this past fishing season was Steelhead Snot! Also, one of my new favorites is the New Scrambled Honey. 

The traditional orange and red colors do work, but try other colors. Especially on pressured rivers, don't be afraid to try the new UV beads in HOT colors. 

You should have an assortment of different colors and sizes at all times. They also sell jigs now too. If your not using beads yet don't miss out this spring! They are deadly on Drop Backs. No mess or fuss just Floats Down!

EVER LOOK AND FEEL THIS WAY?
