    Taking the Best Fish Pics

    In the realm of Casting Across, visual media serves the written and spoken word. Still, a nice picture helps. Today, I talk through some things that are important to consider as you photograph your fly fishing. From gear to approach to subject matter, I hit on some tips that might make your camera roll or your social media profile a little more interesting. Plus, on the heels of "Releasing Fish Well," this is a reminder that the fish are a lot more important than likes. But you still can take mementos with you as they swim away happy and healthy.

    [Cast1] Releasing Fish Well

    You've managed to get on the water. You've figured out how to get the fly in front of a fish. You've somehow convinced it to bit said fly. You've fought it your your hand or net. Now what? If you're interested in the common practice of catch and release, there are some things that are good to do. (They're even better for the fish.) In this beginner-focused episode, I actually begin what releasing well involves long before you catch a fish. Some of these steps might be common sense. Others might sound odd. Regardless, this is helpful for anglers of all experience levels to know and to be able to communicate. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Gear Gimmicks

    Rightfully so, many consumers think that marketing is out to divide them from their hard earned money. Consequently, most hype surrounding new or novel innovations is received with a fair amount of skepticism. But what if some of these features are more than gimmicks? Today I'm sharing four products with design or function elements that I have heard people call "gimmicky." While I don't think any are worth paying exorbitantly more for, I do think they have their merits. Listen as I walk through each and give reasons why you may very well consider adding such a piece of equipment to your collection... or even your main rotation. Learn more about your ad choices.

  4. Why You Should Fish the New England Coast

    Why You Should Fish the New England Coast

    Countless tourists head to coastal New England cities, towns, and remote coastlines every year. Trust me: I sit behind you as I try to get around during my normal day-to-day. With around 6,000 miles of coastline, there is room for all of us. And there is just that much more room for stripers, bluefish, and a number of other species that will gladly chase a fly. On today's podcast, I give a high level overview of fly fishing the New England states. With apologies to landlocked Vermont, I touch on some general things that will get you looking in the right direction as you either plan a fishing trip or plan on tagging some fishing on your family vacation.

    Downstream Dry Flies

    The vast majority of your dry fly presentations ought to be made upstream, with you standing slightly to one side of the fish. This optimizes your cast, your mending, and your hook set. But what if you can't do that? What if there is a fish that is downstream, under cover, and slurping bugs off the surface with wanton slovenliness? What then? Do you miss out and chalk it up to the "rules" of dry fly fishing? Do you go home, bested by the trout to which you did not cast? There is good news. You can cast downstream to rising fish using a dry fly. And although it isn't optimal, you should know how to do it. And today I'm talking about it. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Fly Fishing Accusations, 30

    Well, I'm breaking with tradition for this one. I'm not calling it "Fly Fishing Accusations XXX."  That said, there are some interesting segments in this episode. I get a little fired up about how people feel the need to police the fishing gear designed to solve problems. I also circle back to fallfish, tenkara, and remote fishing ethics. Standard fare, if you've been around here long enough. As always, thanks for listening and writing in! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    The Fly Fisherman's Wife

    300 episodes. That, my friends, is a lot of my digitized voice out there on the internet. Today I'm breaking free from my rigid, one-note format. I've got a guest. In fact, I have the most special of special guests. My wife of 21+ years. Her perspectives on nearly every topic are worth listening to - take it from me. That said, enjoy this podcast. And it goes without saying at this point: Thank you. Thanks for listening, reading, and being part of Casting Across as I hit this milestone. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Judge Not, Fly Fisher

    In case you've been living under a rock (like a caddis nymph, perhaps), I'm going to be the bearer of bad news and inform you that fly fishers have the reputation of being quite the opinionated group of individuals. And as the maxim states, opinions are like... well, they're like waders that have been sitting in the trunk too long. We've all got them and they have the potential of stinking. My purpose isn't to simply offer counter-arguments. It is to point out the unnecessary nature of some of the more prevalent antagonistic perspectives in fly fishing. Let that last cause sink in for a second: prevalent antagonistic perspectives in fly fishing. The fact that such things exist is reason enough to talk and think about them for 20 minutes.
