Thousands of aquarium aficionados concerned about the stress levels of their tropical fish can't be wrong. And from an anecdotal angling perspective, I agree with them.You can gain insight into what a fish is going to do by watching it's body language. While it isn't an empirical exercise, there are some tells in fish behavior that can clue you in as to when to keep going, change tactics, or just keep on moving. I cover a handful of observations in this episode. As usual, there are countless

Allow me to modify a common saying among preachers. Every angler has three fishing trips: the one he plans, the one he goes on, and the one he wished he would have had.Not super smooth, but you get the gist. On a recent four day fishing trip, I thought about the preparations and plans that I had going into things. Some were much more helpful and practical than others. Four of those are the topic of the discussion on the podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

10 episodes away from 300, and I couldn't have done it without you.And when it comes to these regular "Accusations" podcasts, I literally couldn't do it without you. Because every 10 episodes, I interact with questions and comments from listeners and readers. Emails have been coming in fast lately. It was hard to pick just three, so I went with a relatively mixed bag: gear questions, fly suggestions, and a deep trout conspiracy with Biblical ties. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

A Backup Gear How-to

2024/05/24

All you need to fish is one rod, one reel, one line, and one fly... but it is better to have a few dozen... boxes of them.That said, it isn't the worst thing in the world to have some other gear that can serve a similar purpose. Along with performing in a slightly different manner, this gear can also be a solid backup for if/when something goes wrong on the water. Today I'm sharing my approach to this whole matter. It isn't the most important thing in the world, but taking a minute to make some

There is only so much fly fishing practice you can get on your front lawn. And while the surface tension of your pool might help with improving your cast, your children won't take kindly to being asked to pretend to be fish. Thankfully there are rivers filled with fish. And some of these fish are much more likely to play ball than trout are. I would go out of my way to catch panfish. But they can also be used to hone your skills. Today I'm sharing 3 ways I use bluegill, fallfish, and even bass to

I'm not talking about how you can throw buzz baits and frogs with your 5-weight. But I'm also drawing a distinction between dry flies and another way to chase trout. Think about fishing with mouse patterns, and you'll understand where I'm going. While I do discuss mice, I cover three other active ways to fish for trout on top of the water. When the hatch isn't on, or the fish don't want your dead-drifted imitation, there are some fun ways to drum up strikes. And when they come, they're usually quite

You need a fly rod to fly fish. Whether it is one hundred or one thousand dollars, you'd do well to have a good idea of which fly rod is best for you and your fishing.The absolute best way to do this? Go to a fly shop and cast.

Trout don't live in ugly places is a cute little phrase. But it is not true.I have caught trout in some ug-ly places. Busted concrete abutments, shopping carts, and the growl of engine braking are not what you think when you daydream of fly fishing. But out of necessity or adventure, this alternative ambiance certainly is an option. Today I give an ever-so surface level primer of how to figure out where and how to fish in town, city, or subdivision. You might have to dodge an angry person or some

Guides do a lot more than put fish on the end of your line. In fact, putting fish on the end of your line is one of those things they can't do. So when they ask questions, give ideas, or encourage the trip to go in a different direction, their expertise is worth leaning into.Today I'm sharing four guide stories. Two are from my perspective as a client, one as a guide, and the last is from a friend with a particularly stubborn client. They're more educational/cautionary tales than anything else, but

...and a few of them are pretty inexpensive, too.For one reason or another, you might find yourself fly fishing in the kind of weather that isn't found on catalog covers.

2024/03/08

Is fly fishing just you, a rod, and a fish?In one sense, it is. But in a much broader, more realistic way of thinking about things it certainly is not. There are a lot more people doing what you do, and being a part of that culture is not only unavoidable but enriching. Today I cover some important subject matter in the periphery of the fly fishing image. Things like literature and conservation aren't directly in the cast+bug=trout equation, but they have been, are, and will be what makes fly
