Released in 1986, it was written by John Hughes and stars Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer, Harry Dean Stanton, Annie Potts, Andrew McCarthy, and James Spader.

#724 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/724  Presented by: Drifthook Fly Fishing Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors  Streamer fishing for trout is all about movement, and few people understand it better than Tommy Lynch. In this episode, Tommy breaks down his four-step framework for fishing streamers, explains the difference between suicide fish and would-be predators, and shares why most anglers aren't getting the full potential out of their sink tips. If you're looking to up your game on big browns in small creeks, this episode is packed with tips you won't want to miss. Episode Chapters with Tommy Lynch on Streamer Fishing for Trout How to Fish Streamers Like a Jerkbait for Big Browns Streamer fishing isn't just about casting and stripping. It's about making your fly move like a wounded baitfish—something trout can't resist. Tommy explains that the best way to do this is by mimicking the action of a jerkbait, specifically the black and gold No. 13 Rapala, which has been deadly on brown trout for years. Four Key Techniques for Streamer Action: Down Swat - A true jerkbait-style movement where you “swat” the fly through the water to make it dart and dig before swimming out. Straight Strip - A steady retrieve with small breaks in rhythm, mimicking an injured baitfish. Proper Placement – You want the fly close enough for the trout to see and react but not so close that it spooks them. Reading the Fish – Watch for slight movements—if a trout shifts left or right, it's game on. The Two Types of Trout: Suicide Fish vs. Would-be Predators When streamer fishing, Tommy breaks down trout into two categories: suicide fish and would-be predators. Understanding these can help you dial in your approach. Suicide Fish These trout sit tight against structure, waiting to ambush anything that moves. They don't need much convincing—just proof of life. A quick down swat and pause can be enough to trigger a strike. Key to this is using slack to let your sink tip actually sink. Just casting and waiting won't cut it. You need to shake out line or reach toward the fly to help it drop. Would-Be Predators These fish aren't actively hunting but can be triggered into striking. They often hang in slower water, watching for an easy meal. A straight strip in the middle of the retrieve keeps their interest, but the real trick is slowing down near the end. That pause can be enough to flip a passive trout into attack mode. Whether you're targeting an aggressive fish or coaxing a hesitant one, understanding their behavior is key. And remember—just because you bought a sink tip doesn't mean it's sinking. Use it right, or you're just dragging it through the water. Essential Streamers for Trout Fishing When it comes to streamers, Tommy keeps a variety on hand. From classic muddler minnows to modern swim flies, each has a purpose. Go-To Patterns Muddler Minnow – A timeless fly, perfect for imitating minnows, especially during fry season. Sex Dungeon – A bigger, articulated fly that moves aggressively in the water. Blane's Game Changer – A segmented fly with a lifelike swimming action, great in slow water. Great Lakes Deceiver – A swim fly with a broad, gliding motion, ideal for provoking strikes. Matching the hatch is key. Some days, trout want small minnows on a five-weight. Other days, they'll chase down a big meal. Adjusting your presentation—whether it's a slow jerk or a fast retrieve—can make all the difference. Small Stream Brown Trout: Stealth and Strategy Fishing small creeks for brown trout is a whole different game. Tight water, overhanging trees, and spooky fish make for a serious challenge. But the reward? Lots of fish and zero crowds. Key Tactics for Small Creeks Stealth is everything – Move slowly and blend in. Stand still, and trout may swim right up to you. Cast upstream – This keeps your fly in the trout's line of sight while reducing drag. Short leaders work – A 6- to 7-foot leader helps control the fly without excess slack. Walk far, fish hard – Many of these waters require hiking in. The more effort, the fewer people you'll see. Michigan's small streams are packed with wild brown trout, and many are rarely fished. If you're willing to put in the miles, you'll find fish that are aggressive, unpressured, and ready to eat. Finding Big Browns in Tiny Creeks Small creeks may be tight, but they hold more fish than you'd think—including some big browns. The trick is knowing where to look. What to Look For Heavy structure – Undercut banks, log jams, and tag alder thickets create safe zones for trout. Hidden water – Spots that seem impossible to fish often hold the best fish. Naive trout – Less pressure means more aggressive fish willing to hit a well-placed fly. Fishing these small creeks is an adventure. You'll crawl through brush, jump logs, and make tight casts. But the reward? Wild trout in untouched water. And sometimes, a true giant where you least expect it. Winter Streamer Fishing: When to Go and What to Expect Streamer fishing in winter isn't always easy, but it's worth it. The fish are bigger, more aggressive, and fewer people are on the water. Tommy follows weather windows, layering up to chase those cold-water eats. Key Seasonal Patterns Fall (October–November) – Browns are aggressive but defensive. They hit flies to chase off intruders, not necessarily to eat. Post-Spawn (December–January) – Big fish get hungry. They need calories after spawning, so the strikes are all about feeding. Late Winter (February–March) – Fewer bites, but larger fish. Some exhausted browns even take swung flies, which is rare. When streamer fishing slows down, steelhead take center stage. By late November, Tommy swaps the strip flies for two-handed swing flies. If you're tough enough to fish in freezing temps, you might just hook into a monster. The Salmon Invasion: How It's Changing Michigan's Trout Fishing Salmon runs bring big fish and big crowds. But the rise in anglers chasing Chinook has made traditional trout fishing tougher. Once, anglers could target big browns feeding on salmon eggs. Now, with more people pushing upriver, those spots are packed early in the season. The solution? Hike farther, fish hidden creeks, and find spots that others overlook. The browns are still there—you just have to work harder to reach them. Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/724

He also stressed the transformative power of love in leadership—not romantic love, but a deep care for our work and those we lead.In our dynamic business environment, leaders must be adaptable and attentive to the needs of their teams and clients.

With the life of a fishing guide already being so chaotic, it's hard to imagine how a simultaneous career as a musician is even possible. Balancing both of these journeys along with family life has become the norm for Chuck Ragan, a fly-fishing guide and musician based out of California. While Chuck has experienced a professional life most could only dream of, his proudest memories are based around his son. In this episode, we highlight a game changer in the fullest sense: someone lives as a shining example of "doing it your own way".

The True Essence of Motherhood in 2024: Challenges and Joys Jen Banks dives into the life of a mother approaching Mother's Day, discussing the unpredictability and demanding nature of motherhood in 2024. It humorously outlines a 'job description*' for being a mom, emphasizing the lack of tangible benefits and the never-ending responsibilities, from executive support to janitorial duties, without any financial compensation. Jen encourages mothers to engage in self-care and lean on their support systems to manage the overwhelming task of motherhood. She also touches upon her personal life, mentioning an upcoming book writing project titled 'Let Yourself Bloom' and the importance of taking care of oneself. The episode is intended to uplift and recognize the invaluable, often underappreciated work mothers do, highlighting the extraordinary, yet challenging aspects of motherhood. *Adapted from 'A Mom Job Description by Abby Chipman' 00:00 Welcome and Personal Updates 00:53 The Joy of Essential Oils and Self-Care 01:16 Embarking on a Book Writing Adventure 02:02 The Ultimate Guide to Being a Mom in 2024 02:21 The Unspoken Challenges of Motherhood 09:20 Navigating Motherhood with Grace and Self-Care 11:01 Closing Thoughts and Gratitude #MotherhoodJourney #PodcastCommunity #EmpoweredMoms #AuthorLife #SelfCareSunday #PodcastRecommendation #MomLifeBalance #InspiringWomen ----more---- Great! It seems like you want to draft a blog post based on the script provided. I'll help you put together a cohesive blog post.  Title: "Embracing Motherhood: A Journey of Self-Care and Resilience" Body: --- Hey there, happy Thursday! You know what this means, we are almost to the weekend. I was just barely doing laundry and it caught me off guard because I was folding a shirt that I had worn yesterday. And normally my laundry is a three week turnaround ish, and so I am realizing that if I want to wear something again really soon, I should leave it towards the end of my rotation so that it can just be right there when I'm ready. Today has been very relaxing for me. A friend offered to give me an essential oils massage. She's practicing giving these and for sure I took her up on that. She said every mom needs a massage. So, this is for you. I'm sure you need to hear this. Go book yourself a massage or have your partner give you one. You deserve one. I am getting so excited because I write my book the last week of this month. Most people say, Oh yeah, I'm going to write a book this year or, Oh yeah, I've been working on a book, but no, I'm writing my book in a week, the last week of this month. So when I met this, Publisher, I learned that she does these author adventures and also I didn't have to have a manuscript and go find a publisher. She just took me on and I haven't written a word. So, okay, that's a lie. I've also worked on it here and there since I met with her and we've been brainstorming and gathering ingredients, but the bulk of the book will be written in one week and then it'll be published in September. So stay tuned. It's going to be called Let Yourself Bloom. So as I'm preparing for that, I decided to do this episode and let's consider it the Mother's Day episode because I titled it, How to Be a Mom in 2024. It is a job for sure. And not to say that there's not joy in it because there's joy in jobs. There's other ways to look at it too, but I feel like I was blindsided. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. And not that there's any way to really prepare to be a mom, but I just feel like I saw the highlight reel of everyone's experience and nobody really told me what to expect. And maybe they weren't talking about it, or maybe they were just sharing it with their peers and not someone as young as I was at the time, but I feel like there was a lot more that could have been said to prepare for motherhood, but I digress.  ### The Realities of Motherhood in 2024 This is where we're at and we're making it work. And so here is how to be a mom in 2024. Be sure to expect challenging permanent work in an unstable and unpredictable environment with limited access to basic services. You must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work. Variable hours in stressful and often ambiguous conditions, which will include evenings and weekends, and frequent 24 hour shifts on call. Some overnight travel is required, including trips to primitive campsites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in faraway cities. Full planning and coordination of travel for all team members will be your responsibility. Travel expenses are not reimbursed. Executive courier and chauffeur duties are also required. Time off must be requested and approved in advance, with the caveat that during said time off, You remain on call around the clock. ### Being a Superhero Mom Your responsibilities are virtually unlimited, but they include providing high-level executive support through schedule management, purchase approvals while maintaining budget and peace, as well as event planning, which often requires coordination with external stakeholders. You must be able to pivot away from planned schedule at a moment's notice and effectively communicate changes to team. You must mentally maintain the company calendar, list of inventory shortages, pre-scheduled days off, doctor, dentist, therapy appointments, gift ideas, meal plans for the week, and precise locations of important items. You must manage employee use of company technology, including monitoring consumption, limiting access, and responding to a high volume of requests for access. ### The Unsung Heroism of Motherhood You must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair and stuck zippers. You must be prepared to provide learning and development opportunities in multiple settings and formats with minimal attention spans. Responsibilities also include any janitorial work throughout the facility and meeting the nutritional needs of the team. You are expected to exhibit patience and mental strength to read the same material multiple times a day. Physical stamina to keep up with energetic team members for the entire day. Ability to physically and mentally multitask, often with only one hand. Strong negotiation skills and ability to maintain a professional manner and remain calm while experiencing multiple priorities, stress, sleep deprivation, and sensory overload.  ### Motherhood: An Unpaid Full-Time Job Meditation skills are preferred. Money management skills are also required. In this position, there is virtually no possibility for advancement and promotion. Your job is to remain in the same position for years without complaining, constantly retraining, and updating your skills so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you. Your team will likely offer minimal feedback related to your performance. Oh yeah, and on the job training is recommended on a continually exhausting basis for everything from process improvements to product development to communication tools, keeping up with training will be at your discretion, and finding training materials is solely your responsibility.  ### The Invaluable Rewards of Motherhood Be aware that this is a volunteer, unpaid, full-time job. After a number of years, your team will be requesting payments from you. Raises and bonuses will be expected, and a balloon payment is due at the age of 18. When you die, you give them whatever is left, and you will be happy to do so. Benefits of this job include health insurance. None. Dental. None. Disability. None. Retirement or pension? None. Tuition reimbursement? None. Paid holidays? None. Sick leave? None. Stock options? None. Personal growth opportunities, though, are limitless, and hugs? Free for life. It's hard to put a price tag on all of this, but salary.com estimates upwards of $200,000 annually if mothers were to be paid. Can you imagine? Thank you for doing a thankless job, truly.  ### Celebrating the Superheroes Among Us I know this isn't joking, but really, so much is required, expected, asked of, needed, if you are going to truly be a mother. And it's easy to get bogged down if we dwell on that on a day-to-day basis, but we are doing it. The truly, the only explanation is that we're superheroes, right? And if nobody else tells you this Mother's Day, you are doing a great job. Just as you are, you're enough. I see you, and I'm right there with you in the trenches. We got this.  We all feel the weight of motherhood in different ways, and we all carry that weight differently. Some of us have better support systems than others, and others have gotten into a good rhythm and routine. But with every life circumstance, things change. We have to find a new normal. We have another child. We move. We have a health condition. It is tough. And like I was talking about earlier, it's a 24/7 job. It really is hard to feel respite and find joy in the journey.  ### Finding Joy in the Journey But if we collect little moments along the way that bring us joy or we focus on the positive and what's to come, if we find ways to incorporate daily self-care so that we don't feel like we have to escape our lives, but we can tackle it head-on and be okay in the day-to-day, that will help. I remember feeling like my children were extensions of me. They were limbs, as if it were, and it was hard to leave. But as I slowly came back to myself and figured out ways to incorporate those self-care moments, I was much more full and able to bring that version of me back into motherhood.  I hope you can ask a partner or family member or someone to step in if you truly need that help. I've heard before to ask for support, not for permission. So, I encourage you to find ways to take care of yourself so that you can show up for motherhood. I was going to say so that you can be equal to the task of motherhood, but I don't feel like we'll ever be equal to the task of motherhood. It is very daunting. It's very huge. It is overwhelming if we let it, but if we lean on other people and take it day by day and not get too bogged down in the heart of it, we can find the joy in it.  Thank you as always to Blane from Ride the Wave Media for the executive production of this episode and podcast.

Today's guest grew up fishing the small mountain streams near his Blue Ridge, Virginia home. As a youngster, he started a guiding service and, in the late 90s, opened Blue Ridge Fly Fishers in Roanoke, Virginia. He has worked for years to create patterns that solve angling problems. More than once, he has created “a platform” a design innovation so effective that dozens of “patterns” can then be created. Some of these can go head to head with the strike-generating action of conventional lures. A decade ago, our guest returned to the river where he now owns and operates his guide service, specializing in float trips for musky, smallmouth bass, stripers, trout, and many other species.  In addition, he is the Southeastern Field Editor for Fly Fishermen. He is an advisor or brand ambassador for many of the industry's top brands: Patagonia, Temple Fork Outfitters, Scientific Anglers, Costa and Renzetti One of the things I appreciate the most about today's guest is his deep respect for the past and those who have helped him along the way. His passion for conservation also seems to grow at about the same pace as his son Tyler. It has been a pleasure working and traveling with him for the American Saltwater Guides Association.
