Today’s fly fishing Saturday Shoutout on Gink & Gasoline, we spotlight Brian Kozminski’s signature Great Lakes Steelhead Kandy. If you like surfing the web for fly fishing related content, you’ve probably run across Michigan fly fishing guide and veteran blogger, Brian Kozminski many times in the past. Brian is highly active in the fly fishing scene, an all around friendly dude, and a very talented guide and fly tier. There’s nothing not to like about this Brian and I love that he’s stayed humble despite his huge following.

When I ran across Koz’s Steelhead Kandy fly pattern, I immediately wanted to showcase it on the G&G website. This proven Great Lakes steelhead fly pattern tied by Brian, is special for a number of reasons. First, it’s extremely easy to tie. So easy, in fact, a first-time fly tier could manage the tying recipe), but it’s also extremely durable and versatile enough that the attractor pattern can be downsized to catch trout and other species. I’m in the process of tying some of these guys up right now, and I’ll be getting them wet later this week.

  1. Great fly from a great guy. There is not enough time and space to list all the good Koz does (and tries to do) for trout, streams, flyfishing and kids in Michigan. We could use a lot more like him. A well deserved shout out.
