Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/614 Presented By: Drifthook Fly Fishing, FishHound Expeditions, Yellowstone Teton Territory, Visit Helena, MT Jason Moore is on the podcast, and we'll get his three best tips for striper fishing on the East Coast. We'll also get an update on the trends out east and where you can get more information. We're heading to the East Coast today with Jason of Island Fly. Show Notes with Jason Moore on Stiper Fishing. 02:10 - Jason grew up in a small beach town in southern New Jersey, where he loved surfing and conventional fishing. He spent 25 years in Colorado and got into trout fishing. After that, he returned to the coast and got into saltwater fly fishing. Island Fly 3:05 - When Jason started Island Fly four years ago, their main target was stripers, which he said are great on the fly. During summers when stripers head north for cooler waters, they focus on other species like flounder, bluefish, and cow nose rays. Photo via https://www.aquariumofpacific.org/onlinelearningcenter/species/pacific_cownose_ray 06:29 - Jason says they are on Brigantine Island, where there are vast sandy flats, and the best way to fish for cow nose rays is from a boat. Cow nose rays are best targeted from mid-June to late August when the water is warm. You can also go for flounder and catch bluefish during this time. Additionally, they sometimes fish for spinner sharks. Check out our episode on Mako Shark Shark Fly Fishing with Conway Bowman Wild Fish Wild Places 09:46 - Jason talks about his trip to the Columbian Amazon to fish for peacock bass with my good friend Denis Isbister from Wild Fish Wild Places. The trip was super remote, involving long boat rides and hiking through the jungle to reach untouched lagoons. The episode is set to premiere in October 2024! Catch the raw footage here: Striper Fishing 18:28 - The best time for a striper fishing trip is spring, especially April and May because the weather is more consistent. These fish move north as the water warms, following bait fish like menhaden. 23:55 - Jason owns a 22-foot panga, which he finds perfect for striper fishing. However, there are alternative options for stripers fishing without a boat, such as beach fishing and fishing around jetties. 29:19 - When fishing for stripers, matching the fly to the water depth and fish behavior is important. Surface lures like gurglers and poppers are effective in shallow waters (three feet or less), while streamers work better in deeper areas. Tarpon toad flies work well in challenging situations. Tips for Successful Striper Fishing Look for structures and moving water to locate fish. Use surface lures like poppers in the morning and evening to attract fish. Switch to streamers during the day for continued success. Experiment with different color patterns to find what works. Try crab patterns in shallow waters. Other Species Rays 34:43 - Unlike striper fishing, where you're on the boat chasing after fish, ray fishing involves wading in shallow, warm waters near sandbars. The rays are often seen in large numbers and are targeted with crab flies. A minimum of nine-weight rods is recommended. Sub-50-foot casts are typical. Be prepared with ample backing due to the ray's powerful runs. Blue Fish They can be caught from spring through summer. Very aggressive and fun to catch. Flounder Flounders are found on sandbars during the warm summer months. Shallow water fishing using a six-weight rod. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/614

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/328 Presented By: Reyr Gear, FishHound Expeditions, Anglers Coffee, Togens Fly Shop Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors "What advantage does the clear give you?" That's the question to start this episode with on choosing a line for fly fishing. Jarvis from Monic Fly Lines is here today to break down fly lines so you have a better feel for the types of lines out there and their uses. We find out how the different materials affect the performance of a line, the advantages of a clear line, and the ideal line for specific species and water. Jarvis also shares his experience hunting with the Hadza tribe and some of his saltwater trips in the Bahamas. Plus, we hear a story about one of their customers who has a 20-year-old clear Monic fly line that still works. Line for Fly Fishing Show Notes with Jarvis 08:10 - Jarvis got a job at Monic Fly Lines as a manufacturing assistant then later on stepped in for the managing role 09:20 - Bob Romano was on the podcast at WFS 314 where we talked about the Rangeley Lakes Region in Maine 11:00 - Jarvis excelled in school. He's pretty smart and got into some scholarships. 12:40 - Jarvis took up Anthropology in College 13:20 - The Hadza are modern hunter-gatherer people living in northern Tanzania. They are considered one of the last hunter-gatherer tribes in Africa with approximately 1,300 tribe members. 19:50 - Monic Fly Lines are PVC-free. They use naturally buoyant plastics that's why they float well. 22:00 - The Monic 101 is their basic trout line 22:55 - The front taper is where the line begins to change in diameter. The belly section is the thickest portion of that line. Your rear taper is where it starts to go back down in diameter 27:00 - For beginners, a little heavier line, one size up, will make you feel the dynamics of your casting. If you have a 5 wt fast rod, a 6 wt line is recommended. If it's medium-fast, a true to weight size like 5 wt would be good 39:55 - Airflo Fly Lines also make PVC-free lines 41:30 - Jarvis explains how their lines become clear and talks about its stealth advantages 47:10 - Jarvis talks about how Bob Goodale, the founder, started Monic. Their first line was a clear floating line. Read more about the company's history here. 49:00 - Their Henley Series has a material that they call MoniCore 50:20 - The Henley Phantom Tip is one of their latest lines. Jarvis explains its advantages for fresh and saltwater 51:50 - One of their customer showed Jarvis a 20-year-old clear Monic line - it already turned yellow because of the UV damage but it still works 52:30 - Monic will replace your fly line if it breaks on the first year of buying it 55:10 - All the fly lines they produce are made from Boulder Colorado 56:30 - There's a chart in each type of line on their website for you to have a general idea of how your setup would be. There's a chat box there on the website too - send them a message and Jarvis or any from the Monic crew will gladly help 59:00 - Their Icicle line has a more advanced taper called Javelin taper 1:04:00 - The Saltwater Master series has a slickening agent built-in 1:06:45 - Jarvis had a saltwater trip with Denis Isbister in the Bahamas to do some content for Monic. Denis runs the Wild Fish Wild Places TV show 1:08:40 - Jarvis caught a horse side yellow tail jack 1:10:00 - Jarvis talks about his experience fishing in Acklins, a little southeast of the Bahamas 1:13:20 - We had Oliver White at WFS 69 where we talked about the Bahamas 1:13:50 - Enter your favorite fly at wetflyswing.com/topfly to win a box of flies 1:14:30 - Jarvis picks his top fly for fresh and saltwater. For trout, he picks Gold-ribber Hares Ear. For saltwater, he picks the Gotcha Shrimp pattern Line for Fly Fishing Conclusion with Jarvis So there you go. I hope you learned some things that will help you decide on what type of line you're getting next. I think that you can never go wrong with the clear ones. The stealthy type is always great to avoid spooking the fish. If you're a beginner, Jarvis recommends to up that line 1 step so that you can feel the dynamics of your casting better. Practice, and practice, then practice some more. Once you feel good about your casting, then you can experiment on your gear setup as you please. If you want to connect with Jarvis and the Monic team, send them a message on Instagram or via the Monic website chat box. They will gladly assist you in getting that perfect line for your needs and preference. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/328

I know we hear this a lot but we really should start thinking about our actions - how it affects people around us and help a person out coming new to whatever industry we are in. That new person could be you, so how do you want to be welcomed? It's as simple as, treat others the way you want to be treated. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/320
Denis Isbister has spent his whole life devoted to fishing.
Wader Review? Yes indeed. We discuss the Adamsbuilt line of waders with Denis Isbister of Wild Fish, Wild Places. We are avid fans of the Wader and boot system from Adamsbuilt, but having Denis on board brings a huge amount of intel on the waders as he has worn the AB brand on fishing adventures in Alaska, Russia, Jurassic Lake, and more. We cover all the finer points of waders and why selection is crucial to a productive day on the water (and a safe one), and why we believe the Adamsbuilt line is the best wader on the market. We also go in depth of all the hidden features on the waders (Burrito pouches, jet pack mounting brackets, etc) and we also discover strange facts about Denis' “tight is right” fashion sense. This is a fun and informative podcast, we hope you enjoy it! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bearfish/message
