    Top Fly Fishing Lessons You Won’t Find in a Guidebook | Ep. 100

    You can learn a lot about fly fishing from reading books or watching videos, but they don't always tell the complete story. Often, the lessons that stick with us the most are the ones we learn when we have a tough day on the water, or when we finally figure out how to catch a certain fish that's been elusive all season.  On this episode of Untangled, Spencer Durrant and Alex Stulce talk about the fly fishing lessons they've learned that don't really show up in guidebooks, and how applying these lessons will turn you into a better angler.  You'll also be treated to a Lighting Round Q&A session, with tons of questions submitted from folks in the VFC Skool Group!  LINKS FROM THE SHOW Get the Free Right Fly eBook - CHECK IT OUT Join the VFC Online Community - CHECK IT OUT QUESTIONS FOR THE SHOW - SUBMIT HERE #LIVEREELLIFE MOMENTS - SUBMIT HERE VIDEO - Fly Selection Masterclass - WATCH HERE

    The Ultimate Guide to Fly Fishing Rigs (Dry Flies, Nymphs, & Streamers!) | Ep. 93

And since our goal is to fool fish into thinking our fake fly is the real thing, you can see how important it is to correctly rig your flies. In this episode, Spencer Durrant walks you through how he rigs his dries, nymphs, and streamers, sharing the exact steps he uses after 20 years of fly fishing, a few years of guiding, and teaching thousands of new anglers here at VFC.  You'll also learn about:  How to correctly size tippet for multi-fly rigs The best flies to start with when you begin your day on the water Tips for casting in the wind How to tell what size and type certain flies are  LINKS FROM THE SHOW DOWNLOAD - Rigs & Knots Pocket Guide - CHECK IT OUT 💥 Want to Level Up Your Fly Fishing Skills? Check out our FREE ➡️ RIGHT FLY E-BOOK 🐟 Join the VFC Online Community - CHECK IT OUT QUESTIONS FOR THE SHOW - SUBMIT HERE #LIVEREELLIFE MOMENTS - SUBMIT HERE  VIDEO - Right Fly Formula - CHECK IT OUT PODCAST - Fly Casting in the Wind - CHECK IT OUT PICTURE - Britton's #LiveReelLife Moment -  CHECK IT OUT
