Boosting Your Baits for an Edge Over Other AnglersFishing is all about small edges, and one of the most overlooked aspects is bait preparation. Over the years, I've refined my approach to bait enhancement, ensuring my boilies are primed and ready before each session. I don't believe in drowning baits in excessive amounts of flavour or liquid, as that can sometimes have the opposite effect. Instead, I take a measured and consistent approach, allowing my baits to absorb attractants gradually over time.I like to keep my bait supply constantly rolling, so I always have well-prepared boilies on hand. My process is simple but effective. I start with several 3kg tubs of my chosen boilie and a larger 10kg bucket. Into each 3kg tub, I add 10ml of Classic Corn or Catalyst food dip, depending on what I'm favouring at the time, along with a tablespoon of Berrocel. Once these additions are made, I give the tubs a good shake every day for a week. This ensures an even distribution and helps the liquid penetrate deeply into the bait. After a week, I transfer everything into the larger 10kg bucket, where it will sit until needed.When I'm preparing for a session, I take a portion of these enhanced boilies and place them into two small RidgeMonkey buckets, ready for my next trip. As soon as I return from a session, I repeat the process to maintain my bait supply. This rolling preparation ensures I always have top-quality, fully-boosted bait on hand.

On this episode of Fishing the DMV, we sit down with Hunter Brooks and Todd Sadler from Green Top to break down the new Virginia gun laws, the upcoming Virginia assault weapons ban, magazine capacity limits, firearm transfer deadlines, and the civil liability concerns facing gun shops, firearm manufacturers, and outdoor retailers.This conversation goes far beyond politics. It affects Virginia hunting, fishing, conservation, gun ownership, outdoor recreation, local tackle shops, archery, firearm sales, and the future of the outdoor community across the Mid-Atlantic.If you are a hunter, angler, firearm owner, sportsman, conservation supporter, or someone who shops at Green Top, Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's, local gun shops, or outdoor stores in Virginia, this is an episode you need to hear.We cover the biggest questions people are asking right now:What does the Virginia assault weapons ban actually mean? What firearms are affected after July 1? Can you still own firearms purchased before the law takes effect? What happens if you order a firearm before July 1 but do not take possession in time? How do the magazine capacity limits affect rifles, handguns, AR-15s, AR pistols, rimfire rifles, tactical shotguns, and turkey hunting shotguns? How could this impact deer hunting, turkey hunting, waterfowl hunting, recreational shooting, and outdoor tourism in Virginia? What does the civil liability law mean for Green Top, local gun stores, firearm manufacturers, and outdoor businesses?Hunter and Todd also explain what customers are most confused about, how Green Top is preparing for these changes, and why many Virginia firearm owners still do not realize how close these changes are.We also talk about the future of Green Top, the strength of the Virginias outdoors communities, and why hunters and anglers need to stay informed, stay involved, and understand how legislation can impact the outdoor lifestyle.This is one of the most important outdoor conversations happening in Virginia right now.Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon!!! https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcast HB21: https://lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/20261/HB21?utm_source SB749: https://lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/20261/SB749?utm_source HB1524: https://lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/20261/HB1524?utm_source Greene top's latest podcast episode on the subject:  https://vimeo.com/1195705957?fl=ip&fe=ecGreen Top website: https://www.greentop.com/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPOTM2NjE5NzQzMzkyNDU5AAGnghINXr_jq9BQxU_VraFRJL7yLsnWCn1u0zG04cJE0dlDlMuuekzilt5lMYI_aem_6q0oay_ldNuIrK3sACJCgQGreen Top on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greentopsportinggoods/ If you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.com LMD Enterprises: http://lmdoil.com/ Jake's bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/   Link to Tactical Fishing Company: https://tacticalfishingco.com/   Fishing Pro Tech: https://www.facebook.com/FishingProTech   Phone Number: (757) 566-1278 Email: lin@fishingprotech.us Fishing Pro Tech Address: 7812-A Richmond Road, Toano, VA, United States, 23168  Flint Financial Planning: https://bit.ly/43t8h5N   Max4 Fishing: https://bit.ly/4unuiOs Support the show

The 2025 Western Australian Kayak Bream Series Grand Final is in the books, and once again the Blackwood River produced a fascinating tournament. In this episode, Andrew catches up with the anglers who finished on the podium:

Well folks its been fun... 8 years since we started. We made some friends, and we pissed off some friends for reasons we will never understand....Over the 8 years on the show, we have had some of the best of the best (Anglers, tackle manufacturers, fly tyers) in the world and some people who turned out to be horrible 2 faced people that we regret giving time to.... but ultimately, getting you connected and sinking your dentition into the beef while keeping our feet firmly planted on the benthic strata has been an experience that has often seen us "arksking" ourselves why we do it, and the answer has always resoundingly been, to share the love and the betterment of the sport with humility and without ego or politics, based on our own very real experiences that spans now almost 60 years between the 2 hosts. For the most part, we have thoroughly enjoyed our experience, and we hope that we have left you with a new approach to Fly Fishing that involves curiosity, ethics, motivation, a focus on the fishing and an awareness of who the real deal is in this game that can take up so much of your time and money.. but its rewards are priceless.   That is all. 

Episode OverviewIn this Central PA Fishing Report from The Articulate Fly, host Marvin Cash checks in with George Costa, manager at TCO Fly Shop in State College, Pennsylvania, for a timely early-summer conditions and hatch update. The season is at a pivotal transition: the dominant spring hatches are winding down, the summer hatch calendar is coming online and terrestrial season is officially starting — all critical intelligence for anglers planning Central PA trout outings over the weeks ahead.Costa delivers a full-picture conditions read. Water levels are running a touch below seasonal average, with recent rain bringing some temporary color and a slight rise. Temperatures have been stable but are beginning to creep into the mid-60s°F on brighter, hotter days, which makes temperature-checking a new essential habit for summer outing planning. The hatch situation is in transition: sulphurs are still producing but require evening commitment on sunny days, while Cahills, Isos, summer quills, caddis, size 16 Cornutas and scattered stoneflies fill out the summer hatch calendar. Cloudier days give anglers an earlier dry fly window, while bright days push the best action to last light. On the nymph front, the prescription shifts to smaller, more precise patterns — perdigons and small Walt's worms — as larger attractor-nymph approaches give way to a tighter subsurface game. Crucially, Costa signals that the greenie weenie hatch (inchworm fall) is officially underway, making this the moment to add inch worms, ants and beetles to the summer dry fly box. Shop news includes a topwater smallmouth tying class with Caleb Rebarchak at the State College location, the All Fins In tournament benefiting Clearwater Conservancy and a fly fishing festival at TCO's Boiling Springs shop in August.Key TakeawaysWhy the greenie weenie (inchworm fall) marks the start of terrestrial season in Central PA and why inch worms, ants and beetles should be in your box from here forward.How to shift your nymph game as the major spring hatches wrap up — smaller, more precise patterns like perdigons and Walt's worms become the go-to subsurface approach.When to start actively monitoring water temperatures as summer heats up, particularly on bright, sunny days when temps begin pushing into the mid-60s°F range.Why evenings are your best window for dry fly fishing on Central PA trout water as summer sets in, with cloudier days pushing hatch activity earlier in the day.How to approach the variable nature of summer hatches in Central PA, where a strong emergence one evening can be followed by minimal activity the next — making patience and water-reading essential.Techniques & Gear CoveredThe episode centers on the tactical adjustments required as Central PA enters its early-summer transition. With the major spring hatches largely behind them, George Costa recommends downsizing nymph presentations to smaller, more precise patterns — specifically perdigons and small Walt's worms — as fish dial in to the subtler subsurface fare that characterizes this period. On the dry fly front, the priority shifts to evening sessions targeting sulphurs, Cahills and Isos, with summer quills, caddis, size 16 Cornutas and scattered stoneflies filling out the hatch calendar for those willing to stay on the water late. Terrestrials take center stage starting now, with Costa specifically calling out the greenie weenie as the signal that the inchworm fall has begun, while also recommending ants and beetles as essential additions to the summer dry fly box as conditions warm into the heart of the terrestrial season.Locations & SpeciesCentral PA's limestone stream corridor around State College is the setting for this report, with TCO Fly Shop's State College location serving as the operational center for George Costa's conditions read. While no specific stream names are mentioned in this episode, the conditions, hatches and tactical advice apply broadly to the region's wild trout fisheries — the spring creeks and limestone runs that draw anglers from across the mid-Atlantic for their hatch diversity and technical dry fly fishing. The key seasonal context is the early-summer transition: water temperatures are beginning to creep toward the mid-60s°F on warmer days, which will become an increasingly important factor for trout welfare and fishing strategy as summer advances. FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhat hatches are active in Central PA as summer gets underway?The major spring hatches are mostly wrapping up, but the calendar remains active. Sulphurs are still coming off in the evenings, with Cahills, Isos, caddis, summer quills, size 16 Cornutas and scattered stoneflies all in play as summer takes hold. George Costa notes that hatch activity can vary significantly day to day at this time of year — a strong emergence one evening can be followed by minimal activity the next — so working the water methodically and being in the right place at the right time is the primary strategy.When is the best time to fish dry flies on Central PA trout water in early summer?Evenings are the priority window for dry fly action during this period. On sunny or hot days, Costa advises anglers to stay late to catch the best hatch activity, particularly for sulphurs. Cloudier days push bug activity earlier in the day, giving anglers a longer productive window — so overcast conditions are worth capitalizing on when they arise.What nymph patterns work best as the big hatches wind down in Central PA?When the major hatches wrap up, Costa recommends shifting to smaller, more precise nymph patterns rather than larger attractor approaches. Perdigons and small Walt's worms are his go-to subsurface options for this period, matching the smaller aquatic fare that fish are keying on once the spring hatch season gives way to summer conditions.When does terrestrial season start in Central PA and what flies should I have ready?Costa signals that the greenie weenie hatch — the inchworm fall that marks the beginning of terrestrial season in Central PA — is underway now. Anglers should have greenie weenies in the box along with ants and beetles, and can expect those patterns to become increasingly productive as the warmer months set in. Costa frames this as one of the more reliable transitions of the summer season: once the greenie weenies start dropping, terrestrials will carry the dry fly game through the heat of summer.Related ContentS8, Ep 35: From Sulphurs to Drakes: George Costa's Essential Fishing Report for Central PAS8, Ep 30: Central PA Chronicles: George Costa's Guide to Spring Fishing Conditions and TechniquesS7, Ep 57: Cicada Mania: Central PA Fishing Insights with George CostaS7, Ep 70: The Dog Days of Summer: Trico Tactics in Central PA with George CostaConnect with Our GuestFollow TCO on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.Follow our Substack newsletter for episode updates, tips and resources.Support the ShowShop through our Amazon link to support the podcast.Join our Patreon community to support the show.If you are in the industry and need help getting unstuck, learn more about our consulting options.Subscribe & AdvertiseSubscribe to the podcast in your favorite podcast app.Think our community is a good fit for your brand?

Some anglers blame the weather. Some blame the fish. Some blame everything around them. But according to Dakota Ebare… grumpy anglers don't catch fish.This week on the Mercer Podcast, Dakota Ebare dives deep into the mental side of fishing and why staying positive under pressure might be one of the biggest keys to success. It's a mindset that has currently helped him climb all the way to 3rd place in the Bassmaster Angler of the Year race.Dakota also gets real about:-constantly changing debate around tournament rules-The hottest new baits & techniques catching fish right now- Why confidence and attitude matter more than most anglers realize.But that's not all…Former Bassmaster champion and ABC's Bachelor Byron Velvick joins us for another edition of Byron's Bunker — and he shares a never-before-told story about the unbelievable things professional anglers sometimes have to overcome on the water.Fishing, stories, laughs and a reminder that sometimes the biggest battle isn't with the bass… it's between your ears.

Episode OverviewIn this episode of The Articulate Fly's Casting Angles series, host Marvin Cash and Mac Brown — owner of Mac Brown Fly Fish and Fly Fishing Guide School in western North Carolina — deliver a timely early summer conditions update for the Tuckaseegee and Nantahala drainages. With the 2026 season running approximately 60 days ahead of schedule, Mac and Marvin unpack what that means for trout anglers trying to calibrate their approach as delayed harvest season closes and technical summer fishing begins.Mac reports that terrestrial activity — inchworms, beetles and ants — is already in full force weeks ahead of its typical July–August window, a direct result of an unseasonable hatch progression that accelerated through spring. The duo walk through the mechanics behind this shift: as aquatic insect biomass declines after the spring hatch season, fish increasingly depend on land-based food sources. Mac's practical adjustment is to fish as though you're two months further into the year than the calendar says, a principle Marvin distills to "add 60 days to whatever date you get on the water."Observation emerges as a unifying theme, with Mac sharing a long-held pre-fishing ritual of reading spider webs and noting dace and creek chub activity as real-time indicators of what's in the system. Their earlier-than-normal presence in early June signals an accelerated biomass cycle and points anglers toward the low-food-chain mindset typical of later in the season.Key TakeawaysHow to recognize when the terrestrial game has turned on using field indicators like inchworm drops, beetles, ants and spider web checks before rigging up.Why applying a "60-days-ahead" mental calendar helps you select flies and tactics that match actual on-the-water conditions rather than the date.How dace and creek chub activity in western NC streams functions as a real-time biomass indicator, signaling the shift toward terrestrial and baitfish tactics.Why reduced aquatic insect biomass in summer demands the same patient, deliberate approach used in fall and winter when the drift is sparse.When to transition from hatch-matching to pure terrestrial presentation after the spring hatch cycle runs its course on freestone streams.Techniques & Gear CoveredThe core tactic is terrestrial fishing with patterns that match what's currently in the streamside canopy and terrestrial zone — inchworms, beetles and ants presented as dry fly or near-surface offerings. Mac and Marvin frame this as a biomass-aware strategy: when aquatic food sources thin out after the spring hatch cycle, fish shift to land-based prey, and tactical fly selection should follow. The episode also references the low-biomass presentation philosophy drawn from fall and winter nymphing — slow-water, deliberate drifts that work when food density is low. Underpinning all of it is Mac's emphasis on observation as a systematic pre-fishing discipline: reading spider webs near the water to identify trapped insects, and tracking baitfish species composition (dace, creek chub) as a proxy for how far the biomass clock has advanced. The approach Mac describes is less about pattern-matching a specific hatch and more about reading the full ecosystem before you ever make a cast.Locations & SpeciesThe episode is anchored in the freestone trout streams of western North Carolina, with specific reference to the Tuckaseegee River drainage and the Nantahala River — two of the region's primary trout fisheries. Mac also references the Great Smoky Mountains Park watershed and the Wesser Creek and Silver Mine Creek confluence on the Nantahala, where his early observation habits were formed during years at the Nantahala Outdoor Center. The primary target species is trout, but the conversation gives notable attention to dace and creek chub as ecological indicators — their appearance in fishable numbers during early June 2026 confirms a biomass cycle running roughly 60 days ahead of a normal season. Seasonal context is central: delayed harvest on the Nantahala and Tuckaseegee has just closed, and the transition to technical dry fly and terrestrial fishing is being compressed by an anomalous spring across the Eastern Seaboard.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredHow do I know which terrestrial flies to use when traditional hatch charts don't apply?Mac advises going directly to streamside observation before rigging up. Look for inchworms dropping on silk threads from overhanging trees, beetles and ants in spider webs near the water, and match what you actually see rather than what the calendar says should be active. In 2026, that means fishing inchworm patterns and terrestrial beetles as early as June — flies that in a normal year wouldn't become primary until mid-July through September.Why does summer trout fishing require thinking about fall and winter tactics?As the spring hatch progression winds down, total aquatic insect biomass in the river drops sharply. Mac and Marvin explain that this low-biomass condition parallels what anglers encounter in fall and winter — fish aren't keying on active hatches so much as opportunistically taking what's available. Anglers who bring the patient, deliberate presentations of fall nymphing into their summer terrestrial game tend to see more consistent results than those who keep chasing hatch windows that have already passed.What does it mean that the 2026 season is running 60 days early, and how should anglers adjust?Mac and Marvin observe that hatches, terrestrial activity and baitfish biomass signals are appearing roughly two calendar months ahead of normal schedule. The practical advice: mentally add 60 days to whatever date you're fishing when selecting flies and tactics. If it's early June, fish as if it were early August — heavy terrestrial focus, lower-profile presentations and an expectation that dace and creek chub are already mixing into the catch alongside trout.How do dace and creek chub help you read western NC stream conditions?Mac explains that the presence of dace and creek chub in significant numbers is a reliable indicator of where the baitfish biomass cycle stands. In a normal year, you don't see these species actively competing in the catch until mid-July; their appearance in early June 2026 confirms the accelerated season. When they're catching alongside your trout in numbers, the system's food chain has progressed to a summer biomass profile — time to shift strategy accordingly.Related ContentS7, Ep 28 - Warming Waters and Active Fish: A Spring Fishing Update with Mac BrownS7, Ep 41 - Navigating High Water: Strategies for Success with Mac BrownS6, Ep 145 - Navigating Winter Waters: Unconventional Strategies with Mac BrownS6, Ep 130 - Casting in Color: Mac Brown's Fall Fly Fishing StrategiesConnect with Our GuestFollow Mac on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.Follow our Substack newsletter for episode updates, tips and resources.Support the ShowShop through our Amazon link to support the podcast.Join our Patreon community to support the show.If you are in the industry and need help getting unstuck, learn more about our consulting options.Subscribe & AdvertiseSubscribe to the podcast in your favorite podcast app.Think our community is a good fit for your brand?

Some anglers blame the weather. Some blame the fish. Some blame everything around them. But according to Dakota Ebare… grumpy anglers don't catch fish.This week on the Mercer Podcast, Dakota Ebare dives deep into the mental side of fishing and why staying positive under pressure might be one of the biggest keys to success. It's a mindset that has currently helped him climb all the way to 3rd place in the Bassmaster Angler of the Year race.Dakota also gets real about:-constantly changing debate around tournament rules-The hottest new baits & techniques catching fish right now- Why confidence and attitude matter more than most anglers realize.But that's not all…Former Bassmaster champion and ABC's Bachelor Byron Velvick joins us for another edition of Byron's Bunker — and he shares a never-before-told story about the unbelievable things professional anglers sometimes have to overcome on the water.Fishing, stories, laughs and a reminder that sometimes the biggest battle isn't with the bass… it's between your ears.

It's travel angling time, so here's a repost of the episode I did with Dagen Walton from Last Change lodge on the Kvichak river in the legendary Bristol Bay region of Alaska. He explains choices for rods, reels, lines, leaders, sink tips, and flies, and how they shape on-river performance. We cover casting methods, swing and indicator tactics, hookset timing, essential boat and pack setups, and travel tips—clear, experience-based guidance for anglers wanting to fish smarter and with more confidence.

Send us Fan MailThis week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale continues his look at the issue of Corner Crossing in Montana. This time he talks with the President and CEO of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers (BHA), Ryan “Cal” Callaghan. BHA is basically on the opposite side of Corner Crossing compared to Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks or at least as it relates to the court case that the two organizations are involved in. However, as Rigger put it, “When you listen to last week's podcast and now this week's podcast in a lot of ways both FWP and BHA are on the same side.” Watch or listen to this weeks and last week's podcast and tell us what you think. Just like last week's podcast, this week's podcast is very interesting and we for sure would love to hear what you think and better yet make sure you get your comments into the Private Land/Public Wildlife (PL/PW) Advisory Committee and the FWP. Ryan at GHA is a VERY smart guy and gave some excellent comments and perspective in this week's podcast so be sure and watch or listen and then tell Rigger if you think he needs to do another Corner Crossing Podcast down the road. Our hope is that this issue gets worked out so Landowners and Hunters keep a good relationship going that can get even better! Links:Click here to learn more about Back Country Hunters & Anglers.To watch last week's podcast, click here or here to just listen.If you have any questions or comments for Ryan Callaghan, click here to send him an email.Of course, Rigger always loves to hear from you so feel free to email him anytime by clicking here.Support the showRemember to tune in to The Montana Outdoor Radio Show, live every Saturday from 6:00AM to 8:00AM MT.

#933 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/933  Presented by: Golden Fly Shop, TroutRoutes, On DeMark Lodge, Montana Fly Fishing Lodge Sponsors: https://www.wetflyswing.com/sponsors/      Allie Cunningham from Science on the Fly breaks down how anglers can become community scientists by collecting water samples from their local rivers. The project focuses on tracking nutrients, water chemistry, and long-term watershed health while helping everyday anglers better understand what's happening in the places they fish. This conversation also highlights how grassroots conservation can create real change. From polluted wastewater entering Texas rivers to monitoring watersheds in the Amazon, Science on the Fly is helping anglers move from simply caring about rivers to actively protecting them.

CannCon, Alpha Warrior, and Cam Cooksey kick off episode 82 on June 1st with the Stanley Cup Finals officially set: Carolina Hurricanes versus Vegas Golden Knights. Poor Caleb's Avs got swept, which explains why he is nowhere to be found. From there the show takes a hard left into alien disclosure territory as the crew debates Nordics, reptilians, insectoids, the COVID vaccine as covert alien warfare, and whether humans are actually the extraterrestrials. Cam brings the Florida content with a debate on Google's 32 million mosquito release, lovebug lore, and a world record 15 foot gator. A deployed soldier catching his girlfriend cheating through home cameras leads into a genuine conversation about power of attorney and military relationships. Then Cam drops Casey, the armless outdoorsman who fishes, fries fish, and mows his lawn with zero arms and zero excuses. The show closes with Alpha showing off his Daniel Defense build and a spirited debate about California gun laws. Men unsupervised. Happy Pride Month, California.

Die eigene Passion zum Beruf machen – das klingt für viele nach einem romantischen Traum. Dustin Schöne hat genau das getan, allerdings ohne jede Romantik, sondern mit extrem viel unternehmerischem Gespür und radikalem Fokus. Der gebürtige Berliner hatte mit Saltwater Films bereits eine erfolgreiche Videoproduktion aufgebaut, bevor er seiner zweiten großen Leidenschaft folgte: dem Angeln. Heute steht er hinter Nays, einer der am schnellsten wachsenden Angel- und Lifestyle-Marken Europas.Im Gespräch mit Carsten Puschmann räumt Dustin mit dem verstaubten Klischee des Anglers im Unterhemd auf. Er erzählt, wie er die Branche mit High-End-Marketing, YouTube-Content und funktionaler Streetwear revolutioniert hat und warum er trotz 450 Händlern in Europa anfangs kein aktives Sales-Team brauchte – weil die Community die Produkte schon vor dem Verkaufsstart aus den Händen riss. Eine Folge über den Mut zur Nische, die Balance zwischen Familie und High-Performance-Business und die Frage, warum Storytelling am Ende mindestens genauso wichtig wie ein gutes Produkt ist – oder ein gutes Produkt überhaupt erst groß machen kann.Wir reden über

If you didn't hear the news, FWC made a pretty wild change in out of state fishing licenses (without any vote or input), and then were forced to change it back (because of the uproar from leaders such as Capt. Dylan Hubbard, ASA, and many more). Listen in as Capt Dylan Hubbard shares what happened, and how a grassroots-led movement got it reversed. Enjoy.

In this episode, journalist and author Sara Kehaulani Goo discusses her book Kuleana: A Story of Family, Land and Legacy in Old Hawaii. She summarizes the story of how a shocking tax increase on land granted to her family 175 years ago nearly cost them the property. The story is highly relatable as wealthy non-locals gobble up land which prices out many locals in tourist destinations like Hawaii and Southeast Alaska. We also talk about her journalism career across major outlets, the rise of creator-driven media, potential uses and risks of AI for reporting, and practical advice for aspiring journalists.

Professional Walleye Tournament angler Eric McQuoid joins the JMO Podcast to chat about overcoming a tough bite on Lake Oahe to place 2nd in stop #2 of the National Walleye Tour 2026. Eric is proving to be one of the most competitive touring pros especially when tournaments are difficult for the field. He seems to find a way to contend for the win whenever the bite is tough. In this interview we get to hear how Eric battled windy conditions on Lake Oahe while casting at very picky fish.

May is Melanoma and Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and on this important episode of Fishing the DMV, I am joined by Mercy Viator, Dermatology Certified Nurse Practitioner, to talk about two of the most dangerous threats facing anglers, hunters, hikers, kayakers, campers, and outdoor people everywhere: skin cancer and ticks/Lyme disease.When most people think about outdoor danger, they usually think about bad weather, rough water, accidents, hooks, wildlife, or getting lost. But the truth is, two of the biggest long-term health risks for people who spend a lot of time outside are sun exposure that can lead to skin cancer and tick bites that can lead to Lyme disease. These are serious outdoor health risks that every angler, hunter, and outdoorsman needs to take seriously before their next trip.In this episode, we break down why preparation matters, how to better protect yourself, and why prevention should be part of your regular fishing, hunting, hiking, and outdoor routine. Anglers are especially exposed because we spend long hours on the water under direct sunlight, reflected UV rays, and constantly changing weather conditions. We discuss the importance of routine skin checks, early detection, sun safety, and making UV protection a non-negotiable part of your gear.Mercy shares insight on the right type of sunscreen for fishing, how often you should reapply it, what sun-protective clothing actually helps, and why wide-brim hats, face coverings, sunglasses, gloves, and lightweight UV gear should be treated just like rods, reels, tackle, life jackets, and safety equipment. Whether you're fishing a tournament, bank fishing a local pond, wading a river, kayaking, or spending all day on the boat, protecting yourself from the sun is one of the most important things you can do to stay healthy for the long run.We also dive into ticks and Lyme disease, another major threat for anyone who spends time outdoors across the Mid-Atlantic and beyond. If you fish from the bank, hike through wooded trails, hunt, camp, kayak, or walk through tall grass to reach your favorite spot, tick prevention needs to be on your radar. Lyme disease can have serious long-term effects, and we discuss practical steps you can take to reduce your risk, check yourself after outdoor adventures, and make sure you are prepared before heading outside.The goal of this episode is simple: help anglers, hunters, and outdoor people understand that preparation can make all the difference. You can't always control the sun, the weather, the woods, or the water, but you can control whether you wear the right clothing, use the right sunscreen, check for ticks, and build smart habits that protect your health.This episode is a must-listen for anyone who loves fishing, hunting, hiking, kayaking, camping, boating, or spending time outside. Protecting yourself from skin cancer and Lyme disease is not optional — it is part of being prepared.Topics covered in this episode include:Skin Cancer Awareness Month Melanoma prevention for anglers Why sun exposure is dangerous for fishermen Sun safety while fishing Best sunscreen habits for outdoor people UV fishing clothing and sun-protective gear Fishing hats, face masks, gloves, and sunglasses Why anglers should get routine skin checks Tick prevention for fishermen, hunters, and hikers Lyme disease awareness in the outdoors How to check yourself for ticks after fishing or hunting Outdoor safety tips for the Mid-Atlantic fishing communityWhether you fish the Potomac River, Shenandoah River, Susquehanna River, Chesapeake Bay, Lake Anna, Smith Mountain Lake, Buggs Island, the Upper James River, or your local pond, this episode is a reminder that protecting your health is part of being prepared on the water, in the woods, and anywhere the outdoors takes you.On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, I am joined by Mercy Viator, Dermatology Certified Nurse Practitioner.  Mercy Viator on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dermnpmercy?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Mercy Viator on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dermnpmercy?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Mercy Viator Top Choice on the best sunscreen to buy: https://shopmy.us/collections/5423594 Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon: https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcast If you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.com LMD Enterprises: http://lmdoil.com/  Jake's bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/  Link to Tactical Fishing Company: https://tacticalfishingco.com/  Fishing Pro Tech: https://www.facebook.com/FishingProTech  Phone Number: (757) 566-1278  Email: lin@fishingprotech.us   Fishing Pro Tech Address: 7812-A Richmond Road, Toano, VA, United States, 23168Support the show

In this episode, I'm joined by Jonathan Antunez — a fly tyer, educator, and angler known for his deep knowledge of fixed-line fly fishing techniques, from Tenkara to Euro nymphing and beyond. What started as a trip to Yellowstone quickly turned into an obsession with the artistry, history, and mechanics behind fly fishing, eventually leading Jonathan down a path of studying centuries-old techniques and adapting them to modern waters. We talk about the origins of fixed-line fishing, the forgotten traditions that shaped modern fly fishing, how subtle fly movement can change everything, and why Jonathan believes many anglers have lost touch with the deeper connection between rod, line, and fly. This one gets technical, historical, and surprisingly philosophical — and I think you're going to enjoy it.  Looking to go deeper with your learning?

Fishing flooded waters in Indiana brought a whole new level of challenge in the Kayak Adventure Series Midwestivus II event. This is a kayak tournament series where we compete across rivers and lakes, adapting to changing water levels, tough conditions, and unpredictable bites.In this episode, we break down how flooded conditions completely changed our approach. Current, cover, and dirty water all played a huge role in where the fish set up and how we had to adjust on the fly. From river stretches to lake transitions, every stop tested boat control, decision making, and bait selection.If you're into kayak fishing tournaments, river fishing, or learning how to catch bass in flooded water, this breakdown will help you understand how to adjust when conditions get tough. We cover what worked, what failed, and what we would change next time on the water.Whether you're new to kayak tournament fishing or already competing, this recap gives real-world insight into fishing pressure, flooded river systems, and small adjustments that make a big difference.#kayakfishing #aaanglers #kayakadventureT-SHIRTS and DECALS: aggressivelyaverageanglers.myshopify.comBurly Fishing Content:Follow BurlyFishing: https://www.youtube.com/@aaanglersInstagram: instagram.com/aaanglersFacebook: facebook.com/burlyfishing
