The Fishing Car

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2025/04/04

You may be the kind of angler who can pony up $70,000 for a tricked out fly fishing rig. Or you might be a Toyota Camry kind of guy. Both work. But today I'm talking more to the sedan and station wagon crowd.Even if you don't have the kind of vehicle that they feature in outdoorsy commercials, you can tailor your ride to make fly fishing a little easier. Your car won't help you cast or pick flies. But being organized, prepared, and safe all go into the overall angling equation. Check out the

2025/03/28

We're all busy. Some are busier than others, but everyone has their own busy. And one consistent thing is that any kind of busy usually interferes with fly fishing.Once people find out about my kind of busy (having 5 kids, serving as a pastor, etc.), I get asked "how do you go fly fishing?" They're not asking about technique or fly selection. They want to know how I fit it in. Today I share five things that are helpful in fitting fly fishing into your busy life. They might not all work for you and

2025/03/21

Well, I know that people like finding and catching wild trout... but I was still quite surprised when this article blew up as much as it did.Casting Across was glowing red hot from all the online traffic a post generated this week. I'm not sure what I did right (or wrong), and I don't think I'm going to ask too many questions. Regardless, there is a good chance you're new to the site and the podcast because of it: so welcome! Today I explore the three pieces of research that go into my wild trout

One Reel, More Fishing

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2025/03/14

How should you think about fly reel acquisition? Should you buy the best? Should you buy the least expensive thing that will hold line? Should you skip the headache of such questions and aim towards the center?While I don't begrudge anyone who wants a premium, machined reel or the angler who is content with gear made of plastic, I do have a recommendation for an option that will give you more for less money. More what? More fishing. More fishing options, specifically. Figure out what I'm talking

Fly Fishing Accusations, XXXIII

2025/03/07

Every once in a while I do get a legitimate accusation. Recently I was called out for platforming high-end, pretentious fly fishing equipment.While I don't want to eliminate your anticipation for what this might have looked like, I do think it is important to mention that a quick email exchange brought swift resolution. Still, you should listen to this week's episode to hear what I'm talking about. And, before you get to that, you'll hear me discuss beginner fly tying and online fly fishing

2025/02/28

There are plenty of all-inclusive fly fishing adventures that only require you to pay and show up. Such experiences are probably quite exquisite... and quite expensive. But even if you are able to afford such fineries, you'll get more out of your fly fishing trip if you take a few things with you.Today I'll talk about those things. Some are physical items that are worth packing. Others are expectations. And, as you might imagine, having the latter list in order is just as important as organizing

So you've made plans to go fly fishing. Not just a few hours at the local pond; not just the better part of a day at the river. You're going on a fly fishing trip.How do you prepare? Do you buy any and every fly that might be hatching?

2025/02/14

Adventure can be had simply by heading into the wild or booking a stay at the first deluxe lodge that pops up on Google. But there is a better way. And many anglers I've talked to wish they had adjusted their fishing vacation plans slightly early on in their time chasing trout.Today's podcast is another installment in the Cast1 series.

Real Easy Reel Maintenance

2025/02/07

One of the most amazing things about fly fishing is that the vast majority of our gear works great 100% of the time without paying any attention to it.One of the most frustrating things about fly fishing is when your gear suffers a catastrophic failure while you're on the water. I'm not saying that routine maintenance will avert all disaster. But it doesn't increase the odds; it certainly diminishes them. Today I walk through the relatively simple process than anyone with a tiny amount of

Why You Should Fish the Driftless

It has been a long time since I've covered a destination. And the dead of winter is as good as it gets when it comes to talking about travel.On one hand, it is fun to daydream about trout when it is frigid outside. It is also a great time to start putting plans together to make a few trips. But in the case of this week's area of focus, you could actually head there and fish dries today. And it isn't a tailwater down south. It is in the heart of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and parts of Iowa and

2025/01/10

The 6-weight rod that you already own will work. It will work really well. You'll be able to catch smallies and have a blast doing it.But there are some drawbacks to a lighter rod. If you want to cast all the bass flies, if you want to cast for distance, or if you want to cast some versatile lines, you're going to need a bigger rod.

The Wal-Mart Angler

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2024/11/22

A random errand led to my being face-to-face with a $20 fly rod/reel/line combo. It even came with flies. Around me, people were shopping for car batteries and Barbie dolls. I examined the reel. I assessed the flies. I debated scanning the QR code on the package. It wasn't for me, but it didn't look half bad for a $20 Wal-Mart fly fishing rig.For everyone who starts their fly fishing life off with the Orvis silver spoon in their mouth, there are probably a few others who get after it with
