31: Spring Creeks - “God’s Special Brews” - Guest: Mike Lawson

A western fly fishing preacher once labeled spring creeks “God's special brews”. These geological wonders and masterpieces of nature are a perfect 48-58F cool water temp year-round that trout absolutely love. The fly anglers that hunt them are a special cult that are are addicted to their technical challenges and ultra-selective trout found in them. Author and Henry’s Fork legend Lawson, and author/ host Supinski, who has written and lectured extensively on spring creeks, discuss the peculiarities of spring creeks found in the  Eastern and Western part of North America, and of all those found around the world in this 4 hour/ 2 part documentary podcast. The history of their origins and lore on the English chalk streams is discussed along with the ancient geology that formed them on each continent. The unique vegetation and habitats, trout lies, prey and hatches, terrestrials, fly patterns, tactics, and presentations are all analyzed in this “books on tape” style technical podcast on all things spring creeks. Don’t miss this one!
