Fish Trippin'

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/07/24

Road trip! Depending upon your particular experiences, that phrase might elicit great joy or terrible fear. But what if you have a fly rod in the car? Or, what if you've had a fly rod in the car while taking that same route in the past? Adding a little fishing to a longer drive can break things up. But, there are a lot more benefits than just a pair of wet boots and a few fish in the net. Getting off the highway and into some of the local flavor can really increase your enjoyment of a place and a

Trout Mission: Accomplished

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/07/17

There is one fish that I have been trying to catch for nearly 20 years. It isn't a specific fish, per se, but any rainbow trout out of a particular stream. This week I caught that fish. It was a little fish. Really little. But that is okay. After numerous failed attempts (some of which resulted in law enforcement intervention), it was immensely satisfying to catch & release this one trout. How can one little fish be so hard to catch? And why would I have some quixotic obsession with it? Learn more

Sneak a Little Fishing In

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/07/10

If you can negotiate some time on the water, then you should absolutely sneak some fishing into your family trip. Want my advice? Don't bring what you would normally bring on a fishing trip. Pack lighter. Be it out of necessity or simply to keep the peace, choose what you're hauling along with coolers, strollers, and scooters wisely. Even if you are flying and going solo, there should be a minimized method to your madness. Today on the podcast, I talk through fitting fly fishing into trips. Learn

Spinners, Scum Frogs, & Fly Fishing

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/07/03

I'm pretty confident that my audience is beyond the "fly fishing is the only kind of fly fishing!" thing. Don't get me wrong: I love fly fishing. 9 times out of 10, I'm fishing with a fly rod. But that "1" makes for plenty of opportunities. And I can honestly say that all of my time fishing with a fly has made me a better angler when I'm using spinning or baitcasting gear. In this episode I talk about three ways that fly fishing techniques have honed and improved my time on the water. Learn more

Taught by a Twenty-Inch Trout

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/06/26

A benefit of fishing a lot is the ability to be a little choosy. Instead of splashing at every chance at a big fish, it allows for a more measured approach. With a lot of fly fishing comes an increased sample size to consider. There are more experiences, more insights, and more observations. Most importantly, it is a lot like the feeding habits of a big trout: just be there, and opportunities will present themselves that require very little of you. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Right Fly Box for the Job

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/06/19

You can keep your flies in anything. At the end of the day, it is how you fish your flies - not where you store them - that ends up catching fish. Of course, for only a few dollars you can get the right fly box. It might lead to better organization. It could even mean your flies stay protected. And, it could be argued, both of those might mean catching more fish. In this episode I walk through the styles and types of fly boxes I think are most beneficial for a number of patterns and uses.

Cabins, Covid, & Casting

2020/06/12

What makes a good fishing cabin? Maybe, just maybe, it doesn't have to be a cabin to do what you need it to do. Today, I talk about how I've been finding fly fishing trip lodging for a while now. Also, I start of the podcast by talking about healing, documentaries, and another podcast. It is a little bit of everything, but it touches on a diverse range of fly fishing experiences.

How to Fish Better & Longer

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/06/05

There are some ways that you can get more fishing in. And they all involve moving; just a little bit more. In this episode I talk about how a little bit of attention to fitness can translate into better fishing. The bulk of the discussion focuses on getting deeper into the woods and away from the crowds more efficiently and effectively. This might mean running, jogging, or just a little bit more of a brisk walk. I also discuss gear selection for times when you're moving a little bit faster. Learn

Where I've Fished

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/05/29

Where do you fish? I field this question a lot. Recently, when I solicited ideas on social media, this was asked even more. So while I won't necessarily be spot burning, I do want to highlight some rivers and regions that I've enjoyed. This week I talk about three places that I've really enjoyed fishing. They're all in the US, but they're thousands of miles from one another. They are very different from my normal fly fishing destinations... but they also have a lot of points where they

Ultralight Fly Fishing

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/05/15

When was the last time you tried a rod that was two or three weight designations lighter than your usual setup? Whether you fish in the salt, for warm water species, or trout, there are some legitimate reasons to downsize. In this episode I focus primarily on the true ultralight line weights - 2, 1, and 0. There are some principles that you can apply regardless of how and where you fish. Most of all, hopefully it gives you an idea of what modern lightweight fly fishing gear is capable of. Learn

Getting Lost, Wet, & Stuck

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/05/08

We all do dumb stuff while we're fly fishing. ...or am I alone in that? In this episode I share a few big and potentially costly blunders I've made in my fly fishing life. Perhaps they will be cautionary. Perhaps they will be of entertainment value. Regardless, they're there and through them I offer a few things to think about. After all, we learn more in difficulty than we do while at ease. And stuck on the opposite site of a rapidly rising tailwater is definitely "in difficulty." Learn more

5 Things You Need in Your Car for Fishing

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/05/01

There are a lot of articles and podcasts that tell you what you need for fly fishing. There is even content out there that details the backup gear you'll need. In this podcast, I talk about 5 (plus 3 more, at the end) non-fly fishing things you should have in your car if you're going to be spending a good amount of time on the water. Sound abstract? Check it out, hear some of my horror stories, and think about if you'd be prepared in the same situation. ...and yes, duct tape is on the list. Learn

Why You Should Fish at Home

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/04/24

I'm try not to be judgmental. However, if you long to get out on the water an ignore the ponds in your backyard you're doing it wrong. Across the country there are farm ponds, ponds in parks, and neighborhood retention ponds filled to the brim with fish. They might not be trout. But who cares? Bass, sunfish, and even rough fish are legitimate targets for the fly fisher. In this episode, I talk about a few ways to think about approaching local bodies of water. I discuss gear, species, and more. Learn

3 Angles of Short Fly Rods

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2020/04/17

In my experience, short fly rods are perceived as "small rods for small water." While there is truth in that, a sub-7' rod does a lot more than just measure a few feet less than your normal fly rod. This episode, I share three things that I think anyone using a short fly rod should be familiar with. I talk about casting, presentation, and fighting/landing fish. I also make the case for why you should use a longer rod when you can get away with it on smaller streams. Learn more about your ad choices

Depending on how you look at things, a lot is happening... or not a lot is happening. Still, I have a few things to share.

How are you redeeming your time? Obviously, in a crisis there is great suffering and hardship. But there are always blessings in disguise and silver linings on clouds. Often times those things only come in hindsight. However, when you have a lot of time on your hands there are definitely some opportunities at hand. Even if you're stuck at home you can cast. You can read. You can tie. And you can get better at all of those things - in spite of the uncertainty in the world. So, how will you redeem

A remarkable and diverse trout fishery is within a half day's drive of most of the US population. And, you can thank these rivers for those famous bagels and pizzas in New York City.

There has been so much said about what we can't do, but there is truly so much that we still can do. For fly fishers, and anyone who enjoys the outdoors, the world is still pretty much wide open. This week on the podcast I talk about three things I've thought about and done during this weird turn of events: what do do before you go fishing, how to go fishing, and maybe even what you can think about while you're fishing. As always, my hope is that you take what you hear and do something with
