Predestination: it's a big topic of controversy. The Reformed and Arminians each emphasize predestination in varied ways. Why did God predestine? Whom did God predestine? I also explore the very common sentiment, "but, I only want to believe what the Bible says!" That sentiment has historic (and, gulp!, philosophic) roots that those who assert it do not realize. Still more, that "bible and me" sentiment only makes for worse problems. Then, in the cultural-reflection, I remark on the character of the recent Trump conviction. What does history clarify about such trials? What would it feel like if Joe Biden were tried in bright-red Rexburg, Eastern Idaho? But maybe most important of all? I unpack why the Trump conviction matters to the Church. Come think and laugh with me.

He's a teacher that believes in guided discoveries. 17:01 - We talk about how they came up with the term European nymphing. 20:02 - We're giving away a trip with a bunch of gear from over 10 different companies. Head over to wetflyswing.com/giveaway to join. 20:40 - He shares his gears for euro nymphing. You can do it with a 9ft 5wt, but a 10 to 10 1/2ft 3wt is better. The Echo Shadow X is his favorite rod. 22:33 - We talk about the lines for euro nymphing and why these lines are so thin. He typically uses lines from Airflo and RIO. 24:42 - He gives a bit about the Euro Nymphing School we'll be doing. 25:46 - Team USA will compete in Kamloops, BC in September. Pete grew up fishing around Kamloops. That's where he caught his first trout when he was about 6 years old. 27:41 - We talk about fishing in Loch Leven in Scotland and the huge boats they use there for fishing. It's the best boat he has ever lake-fished out of. This is also where he got the chance to go to the castle where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned. Her secret letters during her imprisonment were just discovered. 31:32 - We talk about our upcoming Euro Nymphing School. 34:00 - He recommends areas in Eastern Idaho that you can nymph on: the South Fork and the Henry's Fork. The South Fork is pretty consistent, especially at that time of the year when the water is down. It's amazing for euro nymphing. 36:32 - He breaks down what his leader looks like. In the Czech Republic, he fished a 9x. He also gives more tips on this. 40:14 - I ask him which is more important between the leader and the rod. He ranks it according to importance - leaders, rods, and then flies. He also digs into the technical aspect of casting with euro nymphing rods. 44:15 - He shares how he designed the Shadow X Rod. For him, it is the most sensitive rod out of all of them. It's very light in the hand. It's also Bret Bishop's favorite rod. On their Master's Team that won in Italy, almost all of them were using that rod. 48:15 - He tells who influenced his knowledge and style on fly fishing. 49:34 - I ask him about Tim Rajeff, the Echo fly rods co-founder. He already sold the company. 52:07 - We talk about drift boats. 53:10 - He tells what makes the South Fort of the Snake one of the greatest rivers in the country. This and the Henry's Fork are great euro nymphing rivers. 55:48 - He tells why Eastern Idaho is a mecca for fly fishing. 56:27 - We give a shout-out to WorldCast Anglers. They have a fly shop in Victor, Idaho. Pete has been working with them since the early '90s. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/413
