    Rob joins his girlfriend's family for a road trip to her aunt's house near Myrtle Beach, SC. Of course he brings his fishing gear as any travel near water requires fishing. Unsure of what to expect, he searches Google Earth for fishy places along the Atlantic Ocean and Inner Coastal. There is not much online about fly fishing locations in this area. Listen as Rob describes his packing list and gear for the unknown, stops at an outdoor store on the way down, and what he encounters in North Myrtle Beach. What he does encounter is quite the opposite lifestyle and scene from his Northern Virginia life just outside the Beltway.

    Gregg Rockett visits the Fly Fishing Consultant studios to share anecdotes from his past careers in hospitality and his rewarding life of fishing in retirement.

Although he has extensively studied Virginia brook trout, he's struggled to find similar literature on brook trout from New Jersey. In this episode, Gregg takes us on a tour of his fly fishing adventures, including fishing in English lochs and recent trips for a galivant in New Jersey.  Gregg has two blogs, "The Trout Bandit" and "The Rockettman."

    Klamath Dam Removal With CalTrout's Curtis Knight

    Curtis Knight has worked for CalTrout since 2000, he is currently their Executive Director. He has been working on removal of obsolete dams along the Klamath River which will open up fish passage to over 400 miles of potential spawning and rearing habitat. In this episode you will learn about the Klamath dams and their history and why the dams need to be removed. You will hear about Mcloud river fishing and why the trout there do not eat dries. Curtis talks about water rights for major California cities, the native tribes around Mt. Shasta, and the different strains of fish that enter the river throughout the year.  From CalTrout:Project DescriptionKlamath Dam removal stands out as one of the most promising salmon recovery opportunities in the history of California Trout. Since 1917, the four Klamath Dams have blocked access to hundreds of miles of salmon and steelhead productive habitat. It has diminished the productivity of the Klamath River and its tributaries, blocked spawning grounds, and blocked off cold source water. Beyond loss of habitat, Iron Gate Dam now serves as a giant heat sink that creates water quality problems, including toxic algae blooms. The decommissioning and removal of the Klamath Dams not only makes economic sense, but would greatly benefit the Klamath-origin salmon fisheries and all other Klamath Basin public resources that have been adversely affected by these dams over the past century. CalTrout is working with more than 20 conservation partners and tribes to facilitate a FERC license transfer to KRRC followed by the removal of the four dams and restoration of the river.

    Rob's TU Talk On Unusual Urban Fishing Locations | Live From Northern Virginia Trout Unlimited

    Rob recorded his June 6, 2024 talk at his local Trout Unlimited chapter. The subject was urban fishing in Northern Virginia. Locations were chosen based on their unconventional locations. Three locations are next to sewage treat meant plants. One spot is an urban waterfront along the Potomac, another is a tidal creek you wouldn't notice without Google Maps. Rob talks about each location, the gear required, the season to fish, flies to use, and where to grab lunch after. You might want to wear running shoes just incase the man chases you out. Be sure to let loved ones know where you are fishing just incase you decide to fish a swamp with unexploded WWII ordinances. It wasn't until the talk was over that Rob figured out where he should have placed the microphone. Apologies for sound quality on this one. Turn your volume UP. Rob hopes to see you at the Black Pumas show at Wolf Trap on July 28 Flies mentioned in this episode. Produced by Jason Reif. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
