Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

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. Although it is directed more towards new fly fishers, there is information that anyone should consider. Moreover, it is the kind of thing worth sharing with other

Real Easy Reel Maintenance

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

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

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2025/01/17

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

Your Next Bass Fly Rod

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

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. If you have found yourself hitting this wall on your local pond or you've decided that warmwater fish are this season's goal, check out some of the preliminary

2025/01/03

The real title of this episode is much, much longer. But you'll have to listen to hear what it is.That said, today is all about making some small changes to preparing, casting, and presenting your fly that will pay off significantly. I don't often promise that my advise will immediately lead to more fish... but refining these tactics will absolutely lead to more fish. We all have areas where we can improve as anglers, and it is encouraging to know that there are some small areas of refinement that

I love questions about fly rods. And you love questions about fly rods.

There may very well be better knots out there, but these have served me well under varied scenarios in two decades of fly fishing. But only start here.

No matter if you're a beginner or an expert, there are ways to improve your efficiency on the water. Now if that sounds clinical and not at all cohesive with the artistic flair that accompanies fly fishing, bear with me.Efficiency is all about being able to to what you want to do when you want to do it.

We have a lot to be thankful for. This is a universal truth, but is especially applicable for fly fishers.Today I walk through a handful of things most fly fishers are (or should be) thankful for. But first, I dive into some gifts that are the kind of thing that you could (or should) give to anyone this holiday seeing.

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

In the complicated system required for fly fishing that is man and equipment, your wrist might be the most fickle. For the same reason it is an incredibly flexible and dexterous joint it can lead your cast very, very astray.While the best way to straighten out your casting woes is to practice, today I share a few wrist-related issues that may lead to problems. And problems like reduced line speed and increased fatigue are worth ironing out if possible. Hopefully these 20 minutes will spark some

Easy Fly Fishing Watercraft

2024/11/08

You can spend a lot of money on a boat for your fly fishing endeavors. There's the cost of the craft itself, then the trailer, then the accessories, then the truck to pull it more efficiently...While I've enjoyed the quality drift boats, skiffs, and bass rigs I've fished from over the years, the vast majority of my time on the water has been in smaller crafts. And I think they suit me just fine. Today I'm talking about easy watercraft. Easy to acquire, easy to transport, and easy to use. Learn more

5 Fly Fishing Changes of Mind

2024/11/01

None of us should be so set in our ways that we're unable to be pried out of the groove we've worn. In fly fishing, in particular, we should not be so entrenched in opinions that we're dogmatic. It is good to have an opinion. But opinions can change.Today I share 5 opinions that I've held and changed over my fly fishing years. There are plenty more. But these five hit the highlights: gear, trout, and conservation. Take a listen, and then consider how you have changed your mind. Or, and this might

Did you know that is a presidential election year?!?Since I think the "rule" to avoid talking about money, religion, and politics is stupid, I talk about politics today on the podcast.

John Gierach & Fly Fishing Voices

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2024/10/11

With the passing of a great author, something much more significant is lost than a new title every few years. First and foremost a man is gone. Beyond that, the fly fishing world has lost a voice.Today I reflect a bit on Gierach's impact on the fly fishing world. From adding popular phrases to spurring on countless imitators, he moved generations of anglers in many ways. At the heart of it all is the fact that he was a consistent voice for anglers across five decades. Consistency, especially today,

In Appalachia

This episode is an overflow of this week. On the website I've focused on the region that has been most impacted by Hurricane Helene, and I'm going to continue to do so on the podcast.Even though southern Appalachia is remote and wild, it is incredibly close to so the vast majority of those who live along the eastern seaboard. That happens to be a large number of this country's people. This is why the mountains and hollows are accessible and loved by so many. This is also why the relative silence
