Scott Pros

Russ Madddin has been guiding in Northern Michigan for
over 11 years and lives in Traverse City, Michigna with his
wife Jody and two daughters.

Russ is on the water 225 days a year and tries to ice
fish as much as possible. Not bad for a father of
two.

Russ is known for his paradigm breaking techniques and
cutting edge flies which are now widely used in his
home state of Michigan and throughout the Midwest.
Over his career he has been in about every major Fly
Fishing publication.

The Manistee River is Russ' home river with the
Betsie taking up his Salmon and Steelhead season's.
With miles of Lake Michigan coastline and several
major inland lakes and secondary rivers like the
Boardman there is no shortage of fishing opportunities
in his hometown.

His favorite Scott rods: G2 906/4 and S4 907/4
