Episode 279: Challenging a Fly Fishing Platitude about a Trout's Diet
“Trout do 80% of their feeding underwater.” We've repeated that platitude often over the years. In a recent issue of TROUT magazine, a publication of Trout Unlimited, Tom Rosenbauer labels that platitude a "trout myth.” In this episode, we discuss seven points that Rosenbauer makes in the article and apply them to our fly fishing experience.

Episode 278: Resolutions to Make the Next Three Seasons of Fly Fishing Great
New resolutions are often tied to the new year. We've decided to release our resolutions near the beginning of the real fly fishing year - spring. We love fishing in winter, but we catch most of our fish and spend most of our days on the water in spring, summer, and fall. In this episode, we each offer up four resolutions for upcoming fly fishing season.

Episode 277: Winter Fly Fishing Tips
We hit the river a couple weeks ago and discovered once again that winter fly fishing is not like fishing in the other three seasons.

Episode 276: How Returning to the Fundamentals Will Improve Your Fishing
Just like every other craft, a fly fisher must occasionally return to the basics of the art and skill of fly fishing. In this episode, we identify several key elements of fly fishing that we've had to relearn or remember. Just like writing or playing a sport, the veterans return to the essential skills again and again.
