Wintertime Fly Fishing Time, Part 1

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/12/11

The calendar should not and can not dictate your fly fishing. Sure, the water might be frozen over. Maybe it is even illegal to fish in certain months where you live. There is a chance that you hate being cold. Still, you can stay plugged in to fly fishing and everything that entails. This week, I talk about three things you can do in the "off-season" to keep those fly fishing connections all winter long. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Wading in the Footsteps of Giants

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/12/04

Unless the circumstances are exceptional, the pivotal men and women of fly fishing history can't offer you hands-on, in the stream instruction. Their mentoring must occur in the pages of a book or journal; their words and deeds informing and influencing through a necessary medium. Whether you have a “real life” mentor or not, these insights and experiences are priceless. Lasting the test of time, the best of the best understood how to combine the what and the how with the who and the why. Learn

Waders: Fixing, Buying, Wading

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/11/27

It is no fun to be wet when you're not expecting to be wet. That means waders need to be functioning at 100%. If you're fishing in cold weather or cold water, 95% is no good. In this episode I talk about end-of-season wader care. Included in that is inspecting, cleaning, and repair. I also share some of my preferred wader repair products and methods. Lastly, I do offer up some advice on buying waders. This is a relatively shallow dive into a deep topic, but it should be a helpful starting

2020/11/20

'Tis the week of Thanksgiving. Which means all of the food and fun of Christmas without the stressful shopping, wrapping paper, and cold(er) weather. And, if you play your cards right you might get to sneak a little bit of fishing in. On this episode I delve into a few topics: Why check out holiday fly fishing gift guides? Do you need to break the bank on your next gear purchase? How can I start a holiday angling tradition? What is a good way to prospect for fish at the end of November? Learn more

Semi-Perilous Wildlife Encounters

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/11/13

Who doesn't like to see some wildlife when they're out fly fishing? Majestic elk, brilliant songbirds, and delicate butterflies add a little something to your angling. But there is a whole host of other critters that are less than pleasant to encounter. Some are downright awful. In this episode of the podcast, I recount a few harrowing tales of my own. And while I strongly advocate a "live and let live policy," I also encourage some of these varmints to do their living somewhere else. Learn more

Chill in the Air, Trout in the Water

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/11/06

In this episode I talk about a few tactics for finding fish in the colder months. The approaches aren't revolutionary, but for many of us any kind of change takes some significant effort. I mention locations, flies, and other gear that I use when I'm diagnosing a river when it is chilly out. Also, I share how I handle iced-over guides and make a recommendation on a nymph rod that punches above it's price point. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Fish Tales: Under the Bridge

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/10/23

We all have memorable fish that we have caught. Some of the most memorable might be fish that we didn't catch right away. That is the story of this fish. This episode is a little different than most. Hear me talk through a season of chasing one particular brown trout. Along with some of the narrative, I share a little bit of the "how" and "why." Hopefully you enjoy it.

Fly Fishing Accusations, X

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/10/16

Why have more than one pair of sunglasses? Why spend a lot of time creating loop-to-loop line/leader connections? Why listen to anything I say? I answer those questions, and a few more, on this week's podcast. I always appreciate getting feedback, and have a lot of fun interacting with emails, comments, and social media chirps. Having that back-and-forth is a great aspect to Casting Across, and one of my favorite things about being a part of the fly fishing community. Learn more about your ad

Nostalgia, Losing, & Rock n' Roll

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/09/25

Where have you fished the most? Do you remember the first time you went? Was it a remarkable success or a tragic comedy of errors? Regardless, I'd wager that you can remember the first time you went fly fishing on your favorite river, stream, or lake. In this episode I recount my first trip to a beloved spring creek. I came to know it very well, but the first time I tried to lure out a brown trout was hardly successful. Still I remember it - and I remember it fondly. Learn more about your ad

Angling Observances & Miscellany

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/09/18

Every week I approach podcast recording time with a handful of ideas. Most fill up a 20 minute episode. Some are a little more brief, derivative, or otherwise not enough. This episode is a compilation of 4 or 5 topics, only strung together by the common thread of fly fishing. There is some theory, some practical advice, and even a commentary on death. (It's brief, but i got it in there.) It is a quick run through a number of miscellaneous angling observations - enjoy! Learn more about your ad

A Few Trashy Flies

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/09/11

Many a fly shop counter has heard the debates and the arguments. "Those aren't flies." "If it is within the law, it is a fly." "That's a lure." "You're just jealous you can't catch as many fish." ...and so on. In this episode I take a brief look at the spectrum of fly authenticity. I attempt to get at the root of the quarrel, and try my hand at some conflict resolution. Maybe you'll scoff. Maybe you'll cheer. Hopefully you'll be entertained. Learn more about your ad choices.

Good weather means a good day to be outside. And that isn't a secret. Spring, Fall, and pleasant Summer days can cause your favorite spots to fill up quickly. In this episode I talk about four ways I’ve learned to beat the crowds and still get into fish.

Fly Fishing Gear, Spend or No?

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/08/28

Fly fishing is about the experience, not the labels or the quality of your gear... but you need gear to fish, right? In this episode, I quickly go through a dozen or so pieces of fly fishing gear. I share my opinion on what kinds of gear warrant a little more money and which don't. There are countless variables that I don't explore, and you know your budget and your angling better than I do. Still, you may benefit from hearing why and how your priorities could stand a slight reshuffling. Learn

3 Ways to Shake Up Fishing Dry Flies

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/08/21

Cast at a 45-degree angle upstream. Mend. Allow the fly to drift without dragging. Repeat. Honestly, that sounds like an ideal situation. The stereotypical dry fly presentation is fun. However, there are plenty of times when the fish or the setting are anything but stereotypical: if you have ever encountered situations where the fish aren't playing ball, you can't get into "proper" casting position, or you need a little help seeing your fly.

Don't Take Fly Fishing Too Seriously

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/08/14

"I'm in one of the most beautiful places on earth, and I've just caught an enormous fish. But I don't give a crap." ...at least that is what your face is saying. That is just one example of how people take fly fishing too seriously. Unless you are part of the <1% of anglers who depend on fishing to feed their families, I suggest taking a chill pill. We all might take our fishing a little too seriously. But fishing is about fun. And if you're not having fun why are you doing it? Learn more about

A year ago I released a podcast entitled "3 Fly Fishing Things I Wish I Knew Then." Believe it or not, there are more. In this episode I discuss why the new angler ought to consider some parts of fly fishing that might not be readily apparent. But with the benefit of time and perspective on my side, I can also say that anglers who have been on the stream for a while might need to consider them too. Me included.
