2026/02/13

This may very well be the longest episode of the podcast yet. And it could have been longer if I mentioned every interesting conversation, unique piece of gear, or novel observation from my four days at The Fly Fishing Show.In this quick look back at my weekends in Marlborough, MA, and Edison, NJ, I talk about presentations, products, and people. And at the end of the day, it is the people that made the time at the events the most worthwhile. Whether you're planning on going to an event, or you

Don't be a Lazy Fly Fisher, II

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2026/02/06

Two whole podcast episodes devoted to how fly fishers can be lazy?Oh yes. And I could do a handful more just on those issues I see in myself. Recently I defined laziness as choosing to not do what you know you should do. If the goal is catching fish, why would you only try 95%? or 50% Certainly, you shouldn't be bothered by being skunked if that is the case. Today I highlight three more things anyone can and should do when fly fishing. Whether we do it or not is another story... Learn more about

Don't be a Lazy Fly Fisher, I

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2026/01/30

We don't talk enough about how much of a problem laziness is. That goes for people and society as a whole. But, of course, today I'm talking about how laziness is not the friend of the fly fisher.If you're being lazy, it means you know better. It means you can do what you should do but you choose not to do that. Why? It is easier not to. In this episode I walk through three issues where you might be a little lazy in your fly fishing. While I can say that I don't err in one of these topics,

[Cast1] Fishing from Small to Large Rivers

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2026/01/23

Today's episode is a snippet from one of the presentations that I give at The Fly Fishing Show. It is about a third shorter and you don't get the benefit of PowerPoint slides, but the content promised to be quite helpful for the small stream angler.Why? If you primarily fish small streams, there might be some trepidation over heading out to the larger rivers. Sprawling waterways can be intimidating when you're used to being able to cast bank to bank. However, the skills and observations you make

The Real Benefit of Outdoor Shows

2026/01/16

What if I told you that if you think that outdoor shows are all about spending money that you've got it all wrong?Sure, there are opportunities to shell out wads of cash. But you can also support small businesses. In fact, some of them are so small that they might not even technically be a business! Beyond that, there is a lot to see in person that you may otherwise only experience through the cold, distant medium of YouTube. And whether you're in a giant convention center or the local VFW hall,

Casting... Indoors?

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2026/01/09

Hear me out: I am not saying everyone can or should practice fly casting indoors.But if you can, why not? In today's episode I am really discussing how a lot of us would benefit from more and more diverse fly casting practice. Although it is essential to practice casting under ideal circumstances, it makes a whole lot of sense to also practice in realistic settings. Can you always face your target? Are you always able to go 10-to-2? Is it always feasible to fully pivot your hips while double

Happy New Year from Casting Across!...but keep listening, even if it is May or September. Why? If you resolve to do something that matters, don't wait. Just make it happen.

A Fly Fishing Christmas, 2025

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2025/12/26

Merry Christmas from Casting Across!On this short holiday episode, I read from the 1883 edition of Fishing With the Fly. This prominent work was compiled and sold by none other than Charles F. Orvis. In this essay there are some wonderfully quaint ideas. But there are also some incredibly pertinent proverbs. As is the case with all good writing, it stands the test of time.

Types of Regulated Trout Water

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2025/12/19

One of the lessons I learned too late in my fly fishing was that trout live in places that aren't labeled "trout water."Although I love and appreciate the fly fishing only, catch and release streams that are out there, they only represent a fraction of the excellent trout fishing that is available. If you limit yourself to a type of river you're missing out. Even streams that don't have any special regulations and allow for the harvest of multiple trout can be great options for the catch and

[Cast1] Winter Fly Fishing

2025/12/05

We're back into the Cast1 series of episodes. Each focuses on basic information pertaining to some aspect of fly fishing. But just because it is "basic" doesn't mean the content is only for beginners.A surprising number of anglers don't venture out in the coldest months. On one hand it makes sense: it is cold. On the other hand, there are fish to be caught! Even seasoned fly fishers will admit they haven't dabbled in casting when the air temp is lower than the water temp. Today I quickly cover an

2025 Official Fly Fishing Gift Guide

Notice that this is not the "2025 Official Fly Fishing List of Products." Those are all fine and good. But I'm doing something just a little bit different this season.Today I'm sharing five ways to think about gift giving (or gift requesting). These categories of gifts run the gamut from flies to personalized matted prints; destination excursions to angling-themed rocks glasses. With a little thought, there is genuinely something for everyone. And after all, isn't it the thought that

The Humble Net

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2025/11/14

It is just a net. Yes. But it is more than just a net when you need to land that big fish.Today I walk through a few net basics: shapes, sizes, materials. I also discuss a few techniques, best practices, and ways to carry your net. This is one of those topics that is really basic. But for someone who has only ever done one thing, or for the new angler, this information can truly be helpful as you head out to the water... or put together a wish list. Don't sleep on a nice custom net for a luxury

Don't Blame the Wind

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2025/11/07

Heat, cold, and high water make fly fishing tricky. Wind makes fly fishing downright difficult. The physics of a fly cast and windy conditions are at odds with one another, impacting our particular kind of angling in a very specific manner.Without denying the challenge of fishing in the wind, I want to share three simple steps to mitigate the effects of blustery air on your fly line. There is nothing new or novel here. However, there is the encouragement that a sustained breeze doesn't mean you

Well, I'm still here.Ten years after putting a little orange and grey website about fly fishing together I continue to do my darndest with three posts a week on the people, places, and things that go into the pursuit of fish. On this week's "very special episode" I share some reflections on what this decade has meant. There has been some work, some fishing, and a lot of great memories made. Hopefully, it will encourage you: encourage you with fly fishing, with this crazy niche culture we have,

Can Confidence Catch Fish?

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2025/10/24

What are confidence flies? Of course, it is a thing people say. But is it a real thing?I maintain that it is. And these flies don't only give you a leg up when you're fishing them: I think that we can learn a lot about how to fish any and every fly if we pay attention to how we're fishing our confidence flies. So while the topic might seem a bit philosophical or abstract, there is truly something to explore for a few minutes. After all, would you rather fish with confidence or with

Midge Miscellany

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2025/10/17

After perusing a handful of books about tying and fishing midges, and in anticipation of turning to these tiny flies for much of my winter angling, I thought I'd share a potpourri of midge information today.While even tying them on might seem like a chore, the part that midges play in most trout diets makes them impossible to ignore. Even the biggest fish will gorge themselves on bugs that match a size 28 fly pattern. Getting comfortable with fishing these flies goes a long way. And today I

Used Fly Fishing Gear

Casting Across Fly Fishing ·

2025/10/10

It is awfully nice to be the first one to unwrap the plastic from a smooth cork handle or to wipe the excess factory grease from a disc drag.It is also nice to save a few hundred bucks. In this installment of Casting Across, I'm talking about finding and evaluating used gear. I'm focusing primarily on rods and reels, but the principles apply to pretty much anything the angler might need. Buying used can be a great way to snag a good deal. And, as I explain, not all "used" fishing gear has
