Episode OverviewIn this Casting Angles episode of The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash reconnects with Master Casting Instructor and veteran Western North Carolina guide Mac Brown of Mac Brown Fly Fish in Bryson City for a timely mid-May conditions update on the Tuckasegee River. With the delayed harvest season winding down and roughly three weeks left to fish the DH water, Mac and Marvin break down exactly what anglers are up against — and how to read it correctly. The Tuck is running well below its seasonal average at roughly 400–500 cfs compared to a normal 1,600–1,800 cfs, but recent rainfall and cooler temperatures are providing a welcome reprieve from what has been a difficult spring across the mid-Atlantic and southern Appalachians. The episode centers on one of the most practical and underappreciated skills in trout fishing: learning to distinguish between freshly stocked fish and the educated holdover and lake-run trout that share the same water — and adjusting technique and fly selection accordingly. Mac walks through his system for identifying fish by their behavior and location, his nymphing rig progressions through the day, and why moving away from indicators is no longer optional in low, clear water.Key TakeawaysHow to identify stocked versus holdover and lake-run trout on the Tuckasegee by using stocking truck access points and "junk food" fly response as a quick field diagnostic.Why fishing a natural-colored anchor pattern like a Walt's Worm in the morning and transitioning to smaller flies as the day progresses is Mac's preferred nymphing progression in low, clear water.How to position a small nymph pattern on the dropper or point depending on whether fish appear to be feeding higher in the column or holding deep.Why using a large sacrificial dry fly — a Parachute Adams, Stimulator or Elk Hair Caddis — as a sight indicator for a trailing small dry creates a "training wheels" system for less experienced dry fly anglers targeting educated fish on size 18–20 patterns and smaller.How marking your fly line or leader with small foam indicators or competition nymphing wax lets you track takes by watching for changes in the alignment of the indicators or wax marks.Why fishing indicator-free with a longer leader at low water is increasingly critical as DH fish become conditioned to suspension devices.Techniques & Gear CoveredThe episode focuses primarily on indicator-free and low-profile presentation techniques for technical low-water trout fishing. Mac's core nymphing approach involves a natural-colored anchor fly paired with a very small midge or emerger, with dropper or point placement adjusted based on where fish appear to be in the water column. For dry fly fishing, both Mac and Marvin advocate a sacrificial large attractor — Parachute Adams, Elk Hair Caddis, Stimulator — with a size 18–20 smaller pattern that fish are actually eating trailed 12–14 inches behind; they call the large fly "the sacrificial fly" for a reason: it never gets eaten, it just helps anglers locate their small fly. As an alternative to a sacrificial dry, Marvin recommends marking the fly line or leader with foam stick-ons or nymphing wax and watching for the indicator marking to straighten on the take. Mac confirms that big bobber rigs and streamers are the wrong tools when PhD fish are locked into size 20–24 midges and blue-winged olive emergers.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredHow do I tell whether I'm fishing to freshly stocked trout or educated holdover fish on the Tuckasegee?Mac's field diagnostic starts with geography: on the Tuck, stocking trucks can only access about five specific pullouts on the narrow gravel road, so fish podded up near those locations are almost certainly recent stockers. Fish holding far from those access points in less obvious water are likely holdovers or lake-run trout. A second confirmation: throw a "junk food" fly — a bright attractor or gaudy nymph — through a riffle. If you're getting easy eats, those are the new fish. PhD fish feeding on size 20–24 midges will ignore streamers and big rigs entirely.When should I use an indicator versus fishing indicator-free on low, clear water?Mac's view is unambiguous: in low, clear conditions — especially late in the DH season when fish have been seeing indicators for weeks — suspension devices hurt your results more than they help. He prefers a longer leader setup, tracking the nail knot or line end visually, and fishing emerger patterns just an inch or two under the film. The mechanics of detecting a subtle take watching the line end are no different from detecting takes when tight-line nymphing subsurface. Marvin adds that marking the leader with foam indicators or competition wax gives less experienced anglers a visual reference without the wake and shadow of a traditional indicator.What is the "sacrificial fly" system for small dry fly fishing?The idea is to rig a large, highly visible attractor — a Parachute Adams, Elk Hair Caddis or Stimulator — with a small dry fly (size 18–20 or smaller) trailed 12–14 inches behind it. The big fly never gets eaten by selective fish; it simply anchors your eye to where the small fly roughly is. When a fish rises anywhere near the attractor's position, lift — hook sets are free. Mac notes that after hundreds of drifts through the same run, not one fish ate the big fly, but many took the small trailer. It functions as training wheels for anglers who aren't yet comfortable tracking a size 20 dry without a reference point.How do I adjust fly placement between dropper and point position when nymphing small nymphs?Mac adjusts this through the day based on where he believes fish are holding and feeding. Early in the morning when fish are likely still deeper, he puts the small fly on the point so it sinks further. As conditions warm and light increases — and as fish move toward emerging insect activity — he moves the small fly up to the dropper position, higher in the water column to intercept fish feeding near the surface. This single rig adjustment tracks fish behavior as the day progresses without changing the entire setup.What are current Tuckasegee River conditions and how long does the delayed harvest season last?Recorded approximately 10–11 days into May, this episode describes the Tuck running at roughly 400–500 cfs — significantly below its seasonal average of 1,600–1,800 cfs. Recent rainfall and cooler overnight temperatures (upper 30s) are providing relief. DH fish remain in the water until the first Saturday of June, giving anglers roughly three weeks from the recording date to target them. A fresh stocking round has been completed, so both new fish and conditioned holdovers are present simultaneously.Related ContentS8, Ep 25: The Science of Stealth: Mac Brown on Fishing Techniques for Low Flow ScenariosS7, Ep 88: Low Water, Big Adjustments: Mac Brown's Essential Tips for Fall Fishing SuccessS7, Ep 41: Navigating High Water: Strategies for Success with Mac BrownS7, Ep 28: Warming Waters and Active Fish: A Spring Fishing Update with Mac BrownS6, Ep 145: Navigating Winter Waters: Unconventional Strategies with Mac BrownConnect 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...

In Part 2 of this two-part series on Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley brings Chris Murphy and Aaron Rothbart back for a fast-paced, competitive conversation on one of the toughest challenges in law firm growth: keeping your best people. Framed as a friendly "tips showdown," this episode gets real about what actually drives retention. Chris makes the case for long-term onboarding, real relationships, and helping team members see a future inside your firm. Aaron counters with hiring right from the start, creating a strong day-one experience, and building a culture of clarity, accountability, and ownership. Different approaches. Same goal. The takeaway is clear: retention is not about paying more. It is about building a firm where people feel challenged, supported, and committed to growing with you. ___________ In this episode, you will hear: Why onboarding should last longer than a week or two How first impressions shape whether a new hire sees a future with your firm Why real relationships matter more than most leaders think How to make new team members feel like they belong from day one Why team members need to see a growth path, not just a job description How clarity, accountability, and feedback help people take ownership of their success Why money matters, but is usually not the main reason great people stay ___________ Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

professorjrod@gmail.comIn this episode, we dive into a crucial decision for IT professionals and students preparing for their CompTIA exam: choosing between a clean install or an in-place upgrade of Windows. Understanding this choice is vital for effective tech exam prep and real-world IT skills development. We discuss the technician's approach to troubleshooting issues like slow laptops, pop-ups, crashes, and system instability, highlighting how an incorrect decision can lead to persistent problems such as corruption, malware, and driver conflicts. Tune in to boost your technology education and get practical insights for your CompTIA study guide journey.From there, we zoom in on the planning that makes a Windows 11 installation succeed: verifying CPU support, RAM, storage, TPM 2.0, and Secure Boot before you start; staging essential device drivers so you do not lose Wi‑Fi or audio afterward; and checking application compatibility and licensing so an upgrade does not break business-critical software. We also talk about backups the way CompTIA exams expect you to think about them, and how time constraints and data criticality shape your real-world approach.Then we get into execution: boot devices and boot order in BIOS vs UEFI, GPT vs MBR (and why a 4TB drive must use GPT), and NTFS vs FAT32 so you do not get trapped by file-size limits. We round it out with deployment methods like unattended installation, network deployment, and zero touch deployment, plus repair and recovery options that help you choose the least destructive fix first. If you're studying for CompTIA A+ or you just want to install Windows with confidence, this one gives you a clean, practical framework.

What's one of the real ceilings on your firm's growth? Often, law firm promotion is one of them because the moment a firm owner wants to elevate someone and a team member wants to grow, the conversation can quietly break down before either side knows how to move forward. In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley sits down with Patti Paz, coach and facilitator of the Atticus Team Leader Certification Program, to unpack what they call the promotion trap. Patti brings both law firm experience and coaching experience to the conversation, having worked her way through multiple roles inside a law firm and now helping team leaders grow into stronger leaders inside their firms. Steve and Patti walk through the three most common promotion traps that stall advancement. "I'm overwhelmed" can sound like a red light to an owner. "I'm not ready" is often fear dressed up as logic. And "pay me first, then I'll learn it" can create friction, even when the real concern is whether more responsibility will come with enough support. This episode is valuable because it helps both sides use better language. Owners learn how to stop doing drive-by promotions and start setting the right context with time on the calendar, clear expectations, and a real discussion about what needs to come off a team member's plate for a promotion to succeed. Team members learn what promotable behavior looks like in real life: ownership, initiative, better questions, and a willingness to learn. If you are a firm owner who feels stuck, this is a reminder that growth isn't only a business development problem. It's a people development problem. And if you are a team member who wants to move up, this conversation gives you language that opens doors instead of closing them. When promotion works, the owner gains leverage, the team gains leadership, and the firm has more room to grow. ____________ In this episode, you will hear: The promotion trap and why it limits firm growth Three promotion traps and what team members can say instead Why "I'm overwhelmed," "I'm not ready," and "pay me first" can stall a promotion conversation Why drive-by promotions usually backfire How to have a better promotion conversation from both the lawyer's and team member's perspective How the Atticus Team Leader Certification Program can help develop team leaders and test promotability Why firm growth depends on growing your people ___________ Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

Are you feeling overwhelmed trying to care for aging parents while raising children? Do you find yourself stretched thin between different generations, each with their own unique needs? My name is Sue Ryan. As a caregiver for loved ones with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, I understand the unique challenges faced by those in the sandwich generations. I recently spoke with Christy Byrne Yates, a licensed educational psychologist and author of “Building a Legacy of Love: Thriving in the Sandwich Generation.” Christy has personally navigated the challenges of caring for aging parents while raising her own children, and she brings both professional expertise and lived experience to help families thrive during this demanding season of life.

Many people say “I didn't choose this.” or “I had no choice.” We always have a choice. Even not making a choice is still a choice. Tip 2: A — Address the ‘Elephants' in the Room Successful sandwich generation caregiving requires having difficult conversations early and often. These are the ‘elephants' dancing in every family room that everyone sees — but no one wants to discuss. Tip 3: R — Recharge Through Ruthless Self-Care Recharging takes on critical importance when you're caring for multiple generations. Self-care isn't selfish — it's essential for everyone you're caring for. Tip 4: E — Enlist Your Support Team You're not meant to journey alone, and this is especially true for sandwich generation caregivers who face multiple competing demands. Building a comprehensive support team is essential for sustainable caregiving. Tip 5: S — Surrender Control and Embrace Grace Perhaps the most challenging aspect of sandwich generation caregiving is accepting that you cannot control everything, even though you desperately want to. If everyone could just do things your way, life would be so much easier — but that's not reality. Read More in This Blog here

In the 930th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Mike Holtz are joined by 2024 World Poker Tour (WPT) World Champion Scott Stewart at Level 9 Studios in Las Vegas. The trio offers an update regarding the home game fight between Maurice Hawkins and aggressor Eugene Castaneda, namely a warrant out for the latter. They then dissect the controversial hand played by Ryan Depaulo, Andre Moreira, and James Caputo in the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise $25K Super Main Event. Who was in the right? Who was in the wrong? Speaking of that tournament, Jesse Lonis made a big fold that sparked a heated rivalry with Shaun Deeb. Even Daniel Negreanu weighed in with his thoughts about the play. Speaking of Kid Poker, he fired away in the Super Main Event, which shed light on so many poker pros firing multiple bullets into the uniquely-structured tournament. Some players fired 11, 12, and even 14 bullets throughout the various flights. Is it good or bad for poker? How might recreational players interpret it? Down in the Bahamas, Charlie Hook, Koray Aldemir, Joao Simao, David Coleman, and Aleksejs Ponakovs have all captured gold bracelets, while Matan Krakow took down the EPT Prague Main Event. From there, it's over to the WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas, where the WPT Prime final table is set, Lily Lofty took down the WPT Ladies Championship, and a new WPT Ambassador was named in the special Mystery Quest event. Finally, Jonathan Little is coming out with a new book, so we thought it'd be a good time for another giveaway. It's your chance to win a copy of Little's book 100 Essential Tips.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of dementia care? Do you find yourself wishing you had more support navigating medical decisions and planning for the future? You're not alone - and there's specialized help available that many caregivers don't fully understand. We are Sue Ryan and Nancy Treaster. As caregivers for our loved ones with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, we both wish we had understood what palliative care is and how to leverage it earlier in our journeys. Unfortunately, when palliative care was first explained to us, it was explained incorrectly, and neither of us took advantage of all the great things palliative care has to offer. We recently spoke with Dawn Kolderman, a registered nurse and Senior Clinical Director of Palliative Care Services at Avow, who has more than 30 years of nursing experience with the last 20 focused on palliative and hospice care. Dawn shared invaluable insights about palliative care that we wish we had known sooner.

Palliative care is a holistic approach to a life-limiting disease. This includes dementia — which is indeed a life-limiting disease. The key difference between palliative care and hospice care: Palliative care patients are at the beginning of their journey and are still seeking aggressive, curative treatment while seeing all their providers and specialistsHospice care patients are generally at the end of their journey, no longer seeking aggressive treatment, and focusing on comfort care. Palliative care is an additional supportive layer of care that works collaboratively with all your existing medical providers. Most importantly, palliative care focuses heavily on the caregiver. Tip 2: Call Palliative Care In — Here's How Many caregivers don't realize how accessible palliative care is or when to call it in. The answer is simple: the earlier, the better. Tip 3: Understand the Goals of Palliative Care Palliative care has specific, comprehensive goals that address both immediate and long-term needs. Primary goals include: Relieving physical symptoms first Supporting the caregiver and family Education and collaboration Advanced care planning (ACP). This crucial component involves sitting down with the patient, caregiver, and family to discuss important decisions while your loved one can still participate in these conversations. Tip 4: What Else You Need to Know About Palliative Care There are several important aspects of palliative care that many people don't realize. Your loved one won't look sick. The goal is to help them live their life fully. Early intervention builds stronger relationships. The nurse navigator's role is specifically to connect you with community resources you might not know about. Read More in This Blog here

December has officially arrived, and we're sharing the December classroom behavior strategies that help keep things calm when student energy is sky-high. In this episode, we walk through the routines and mindset shifts that make the biggest impact, from daily expectation check-ins and protecting your mornings to using our “swiss cheese strategy” when the schedule is full of holes. We also highlight how simple festive breaks can add just the right amount of seasonal fun without sacrificing structure, and when a short-term reward system (like the reindeer system that saved one of Heidi's wildest Decembers) can give your class the boost they need. With the right balance of consistency and intentional fun, you really can stay grounded and enjoy the magic of the season!Prefer to read?

Join Marvin Cash and Mac Brown on another segment of Casting Angles on The Articulate Fly fishing podcast as they tackle the technical challenges of North Carolina's extremely low water conditions during delayed harvest season. Mac Brown, veteran guide and casting instructor, shares essential leader construction techniques for technical low-water presentations, breaking down common misconceptions about leader design and energy transfer. Learn why adding tippet to store-bought leaders creates presentation problems, and discover Mac's proven formula for building effective 20-foot leaders using stiff monofilament like Maxima Chameleon—10 feet of 15-pound butt section, 5 feet of 12-pound, 2.5 feet of 0X, then your tippet of choice. Mac explains why modern nylon doesn't require complex tapered sections like old gut leaders did, debunks the "leader hinge" myth and reveals why he keeps the same leader on his rod for the entire fly line's lifespan. The discussion covers critical low-water stealth tactics including staying out of the water entirely, lengthening leaders for distance and using lighter tippets down to 7X and 8X nylon for superior knot strength over fluorocarbon in small diameters. With DH season underway and freestone streams running low across the Smokies, these expert adjustments will help you adapt your approach and connect with selective trout in challenging autumn conditions.Related ContentS7, Ep 41: Navigating High Water: Strategies for Success with Mac BrownS6, Ep 130: Casting in Color: Mac Brown's Fall Fly Fishing StrategiesS7, Ep 20: Practice Makes Perfect: Mac Brown on Mastering Casting TechniquesS6, Ep 141: Mastering Cold Weather Fly Fishing with Mac BrownAll Things Social MediaFollow Mac on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.Support the Show Shop on AmazonBecome a Patreon PatronSubscribe to the PodcastSubscribe to the podcast in the podcatcher of your choice.Advertise on the PodcastIs our community a good fit for your brand?
