    CJ’s Reel Southern Podcast #3 | Trophy Fishing, Summer Hatches, and the Dying Minnow Technique

    Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/769 Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors In this episode of CJ’s Reel Southern Podcast, Chad covers early summer fly fishing in the Ozarks. He starts with a quick June fishing report, highlighting the transition from caddis to sulfurs on the White and Norfolk Rivers, and why high water during a sulfur hatch can make for surprisingly good dry fly action. Chad also touches on the opportunities for smallmouth bass and carp fishing during May and June, especially in the creeks and tributaries in the region. We hear Chad’s philosophy of trophy fishing—not just chasing giants, but understanding what a “trophy” means in each fishery. He shares insights into his dying minnow technique, a game-changing approach to streamer fishing that relies on vertical jigging and triggering strikes on the fall. Packed with storytelling, honest reflections, and practical takeaways, this episode is a guide to fishing smarter, respecting your local waters, and having a better mindset for trophy fish.
