Indigio Guide Steve Martinez and I visited FlyMasters of Indianapolis for their twenty year open house party.  John, Ian, Derrik and Charlie took great care us, serving a great lunch of steak and the best mac and cheese I’ve ever had, made by one of their friends Steve Oakley from Oakleys Bistro in Indianapolis.  Steve and I tied flies and visited with customers and other invited professionals.  FlyMasters has an open house each year, I have been going down for several years and it’s interesting that I knew most of the people that came by.

The FlyMasters 2010 Magazine FlyMasters was also handing out their new FlyMasters 2010 Magazine that is full of lots of information and articles.  I have an article in the magazine that was written after a frustrating day of watching other anglers snag salmon on the Pere Marquette River.  Click on the link below to go to the Indigo Guide Service page and read my article "Salmon… The Right Way by Kevin Morlock".
