Corey Haselhuhn
Nickname: Sleddy
Hometown: St Clair Shores, Michigan
We describe Corey as a renaissance man of angling; he’s done just about everything—lakes, rivers, salt, inshore, flats—from trout to tarpon, salmon and steelhead to pike and musky. But no matter how far he travels, he always comes back to his natal waters. A born and bred Michigander, Sleddy loves being in and around the Great Lakes but especially his home turf, Lake St Clair. He’s something of a warm water flyfishing guru (just look at that glorious beard) and the Sales Manager at Schultz Outfitters, one of the fly shops spreading the gospel of warm water flyfishing in the Midwest. Though Sleddy doesn’t guide, he relishes other anglers’ success, and is incredibly generous with his time, knowledge, experience, and expertise. Though he loves catching musky, bass, lake trout, and other famed Great Lakes species, he’s a carp afficionado. Most warm days after work you’ll find him stalking the shallows of the Detroit Metro in search of golden bones.
