Fly Fishing Consultant Podcast Rob Snowhite

This is Misty's second appearance on the show. The first was hastily recorded a few years back in a bar. This time Rob invited Misty down to Northern Virginia to sight cast for snakehead, have lunch, and record his story. Rob started recording mid way through lunch so you wouldn't miss the amazing stories, this section will start mid story so you may be a bit confused. Misty has been described as the world's leading authority on fly fishing for Mahseer. He tells us how he learned about the fish and pursued them without access to fly fishing tackle, became a rafting guide, lived with his wife in a mud hut in the Himalayan mountains.

Rob was recently scrolling through Twitter and came across The Caddis Fly Collective account. He immediately e-mailed the Collective to invite] them on the podcast to discuss all things caddis. This week we are joined by Kelly Murray-Stoker, a PhD student at the University of Toronto in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. (Rob was expecting a Canadien accent on the other line). Her advisor on this and other projects is Dr. Shannon McCauley. We get the definitive answer to the effects of stacking stream rocks, the surprising locations caddis flies live and their roles in the enviromment, and we hear about the smallest caddis in the world.

Rob wanted an episode about the history and culture of fly fishing tournaments in the Florida Keys. There was a search for the most informed person to discuss this topic. The search led to the all time tarpon tournament champion, Andy Mill. Andy grew up in Colorado and was a champion down hill skier before hanging up his skis for a career in broadcasting and television. His passion for tarpon is so big it fills a book. Rob catches up with Andy as he prepares for Colorado elk season in Aspen.

Part two of iridescence in nature is about natural and synthetic iridescent fly tying materials. This episode covers different iridescent terms used in fly tying, the history of synthetic iridescence, natural and synthetic materials, and the flies that use them. Some flies are tied with a minimal amount of flash while others may be completely made of flash. Are these flies meant to blend in or stand out in the water? Do fish care? What about anglers that stress over their flies and what goes into making them and why. All of this is covered in this episode.
