I’m always surprised by how many of our products inside North 40 Outfitters are made in the USA.  Contrary to popular belief most livestock feed, animal health products, and even many tack items are manufactured in North America. In the past, I have been a tack and animal health buyer for North 40, I’ve sat on committees in the industry for this category, and I’ve been to countless shows, meetings, supplier’s visits, and factory tours.  However, I have never been to Weaver Leather or Ohio for that matter. So, when I got the invite to the Weaver Leather headquarters and their factory in Berlin, Ohio with our current tack buyer, Erik Haugen, and our farm and ranch category manager, Jesse Ova, I jumped at the opportunity. During our visit, four main themes kept reoccurring as we visited the different manufacturing facilities and of...

The power is in your hands.  You can interview the guide or outfitter as much as you want to by phone or email.  Or, you can take for granted that, based on their reputation and/or website, they will do the job. Before you make a reservation though, listen to the outfitter or guide.  Are they asking questions about you and trying to glean information about your goals and needs?  If so, then you are likely on the right path. The first thing that everyone needs to know is, “What kind of client are you?” -Just out for a good time. I want to unplug and not have to think or work too hard. -I want to catch a trophy fish and get a picture worthy of the cover of a fly fishing magazine. -I only want to fish dry flies. -I want to catch as many fish as humanly possible. -Learning how to be a better fly fisher is as important to me as actu...

By Mike Schultz and Taylor Hess Mike Schultz of Schultz Outfitters knows a thing or two about smallmouth and how to catch them. To Schultz, being versatile through the water column starts on the vise. (Schultz Outfitters fish water around the great lakes region and their flies reflect forage of the Midwest.) So, for Schultz, being able to match flies to forage based on a singular platform is important. In case you missed it, Gunnar Brammer explains his fly choices in, A Fish Eat Fish World Pt. 1 Schultz also suggests that understanding where you want to fish your flies in relation to the water column is just as important. “We tend to focus a lot on tying one particular pattern one particular way. Changing weight loads, hooks, and minor material changes can make a huge difference. Having a dynamic selection of flies that can be f...

Warm weather giving you the blues this hunting season?  Well now is the time to change up your thinking and your tactics. Bird Hunting Tactics, Location, Weather, and More Most hunters get into the mindset that they need certain things to be successful in the field.  These can be things such as; tactics, location, weather, and more.  Some of my most memorable hunts are those hunts where I first discovered a new spot, a new tactic, or hunted with new people. Currently, most of the Pacific Northwest is “plagued” by a warm weather cycle that is playing with the minds of bird hunters.  However, I feel hunters shouldn’t give up. Instead, they simply just need to change their tactics and change how they approach their day. Growing up in eastern Washington, my father took me bird hunting every weekend behind his champion English Set...
