  • Spey Fishing Grand Slam

    Justin Miller
    August 29, 2019 (August 29, 2019)

    I learned how to cast a Spey rod to swing flies for steelhead. Steelhead have hands down been my favorite target species for a long time now and there is no option on method to use. Once you swing flies with a Spey rod there is no going back. The efficiency of Spey casting is […]

    Make it Rain This is no joke. I am going crazy.  It should be the heart of the winter steelhead season in Northern California, and I should be making all kinds of excuses to be on the coast, chasing big dime bright steelhead just coming in from the Pacific. But it won’t rain… This time […]

    February 22, 2016 (February 27, 2019)

    It’s showtime! I have been running around dragging booths, TV’s, business cards and guides to promote The Fly Shop and the amazing places we represent for over a week, and we are only half way there! The ISE Sportsmen’s Show continues this weekend in Denver Colorado. Last weekend we were down in Sacramanto California promoting […]

  • Swinging flies for Trinity Steelhead

    Justin Miller
    February 22, 2016 (February 27, 2019)

    The Trinity River in Northern California is my home river.  I have had the pleasure of swinging flies for steelhead all the way around the Pacific rim, from California up and around through the States, BC and Alaska, and down into the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, but the Trinity always feels like home. The Trinity, […]

  • Rio Marie Big Bass

    February 2, 2016 (February 27, 2019)

    Big Peacock Bass are the junkyard dogs of the jungle. They will defend their little piece of structure or bed or wherever they call home from any invader, for any reason. Pull a fly through  their kitchen while they are on guard and they are guaranteed to try and hurt it, and you, real bad. […]

  • Spey rod for the big ones

    Justin Miller
    February 2, 2016 (February 27, 2019)

    I have a new favorite setup for the big ones. It used to be that when we went after big salmon we had to fish 14 to 16 foot rods in 10wt. As a steelheader, I have gotten very comfortable with my shorter 12.5 to 13.5 ft rods and do not like casting the extremely […]

  • Justin Miller hosted trip winter steelheading

    Justin Miller
    February 2, 2016 (February 27, 2019)

    Every year more and more trout fisherman are learning that they have been missing out for years not swinging flies for steelhead. However as more people are drawn to the sport, those of us that have been steelheading our entire lives have been in search of more challenging situations with a spey rod.  These are the […]

  • Pinky Out Steelheader

    Justin Miller
    February 2, 2016 (February 27, 2019)

    My buddy Lightnin’ always says that when someone is being uppity or sophisticated that they are carrying themselves with their “pinky out”. It is a reference to the posh tea drinker that sips all snooty like, with one pinky out, straightened and off the handle of their cup. There are many things besides tea drinking […]

  • Best Running Line for Shooting Heads

    Justin Miller
    January 25, 2016 (February 27, 2019)

    There is always a ton of debate among spey casters about what is the best running line on the market. Which one is the easiest to hold? Which one is the slickest, or the thinnest or the most supple and which one tangles the least… Everyone has an opinion, and this is just mine. But, […]
