Podcasts about Fly fishing

Across the country, there are rivers, creeks and streams stocked by the state,  often referred to as put and take (they put trout in, you take them out). And especially early in the season, opportunities for stocked trout can be a solid choice. Other places stock fish under catch and release regs or delayed harvest. Also, some rivers, for various reasons, cannot support wild trout populations and they are entirely reliant on hatchery trout. In other places, it's a mix of wild and stocked.Troutbitten has always been primarily focused on fishing for wild trout. Because most anglers would more often choose a wild or natural experience over a manufactured one. So I use the word, experience, because not only are stocked fish produced or raised in a hatchery, once they're in the river, the experience of fishing for stockies is usually pretty different than fishing for wild trout. And that . . . is what we want to talk about in this conversation.In other podcasts, we've already talked a lot about the value differences between wild vs stocked trout. We've gone through the hierarchy of river trout, as we put it.So upon that foundation, in continuation of those discussions, let's talk about how our approach changes when the trout are stocked and not wild. Let's think about water selection, patterns, strategies, and the other things that make fishing for stocked trout more successful. What changes and what is different compared to targeting wild trout?My friends, Matt Grobe, Bill Dell and Trevor Smith, join me for a great discussion.ResourcesPODCAST: Troutbitten | Wild vs Stocked - The Hierarchy of River TroutREAD: Troutbitten | When Fishing For Stocked Trout, It May Not Pay to Be AmbitiousREAD: Troutbitten | Natural vs Attractive Presentations - Convinced or Curious VisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten Facebook Thank You to Pre-Roll Ad Sponsors:SkwalaandOrvis

#746 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/746 Presented By:  On DeMark Lodge, Intrepid Camp Gear Would you board a 9-hour flight to catch trout in Patagonia or brave a three-hour mule ride into a river camp in Chile—all for the chance to fish water most people will never see?

If you don't have kids, don't skip this episode. The reason? Kids are people. So while I'm certainly framing the content in the context of working with youth, the principles will apply to anyone you want to make into an angler. Although sometimes just taking a kid fishing is enough to get them into the sport, there are some things you can do to make it a more enjoyable and accessible experience. With a slightly more complicated set of mechanics, this certainly applies to taking a kid fly fishing. Today I'm talking about three things I've done with my kids and other young people I've worked with. They aren't foolproof, but I can guarantee all will enjoy giving it a shot.

What's your favorite fly rod? This most frequently asked question now has its answer in the Troutbitten Riverside Series. Riverside is a place for sharing and presenting stories and articles from the Troutbitten website. And one of the most popular articles at Troutbitten has been about the qualities to look for in a rod well suited for the Mono Rig.This past winter, I wrote the manuscript for my upcoming book, Fly Fishing the Mono Rig. And I adapted the fly rod article into a full chapter for the book. And as I was finishing that chapter, I knew I wanted to present this as a Riverside video.Here it is . . .ResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | The Best Fly Rods for the Mono Rig, Tight Line and Euro Nymphing — My Favorite RodsVIDEO: Troutbitten | RIVERSIDE: The Best Fly Rods for the Mono Rig VisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten Facebook Thank You to Pre-Roll Ad Sponsors:SkwalaandOrvis

She also guides with Vancouver Island Fly Fishing. Thanks Kat for all you do both on and off the water to grow the past time of fly fishing.

The more you know about aquatic insects, the more fish you'll catch. Aquatic insects are the backbone of a fish's diet, so if you know how their prey acts and behaves, you'll be able to make your fake flies look even more convincing!  Mayflies are one of the most abundant aquatic insects on the planet, and they're a HUGE part of a trout's diet. This week on Untangled, you'll learn all about what mayflies are, where they hatch, what they look like, what flies to use to imitate them, and how to be successful during a mayfly hatch.  You'll also learn about:  How to dial in the depth of your nymph rig EVERY time  What tenkara is and the pros and cons of this style of fishing How much the information we talk about on Untangled translates to trout streams across the country  LINKS FROM THE SHOW Get the FREE Year-Round Hatch Chart - CHECK IT OUT Join the VFC Online Community - CHECK IT OUT QUESTIONS FOR THE SHOW - SUBMIT HERE #LIVEREELLIFE MOMENT - SUBMIT HERE Get the FREE Right Fly eBook - CHECK IT OUT VIDEO - Set Your Strike Indicator Perfectly - CHECK IT OUT

  It's always interesting to find out that public figures can be as obsessed with fly fishing as we are. People like Harrison Ford, Jeff Daniels, Tucker Carlson, Bette Midler, Jimmy Kimmel, and Dick Cheney are all serious fly fishers. (And no, I don't have any of them on tap for my podcast). But Rahm Emanuel [37:25] is a dedicated listener to this podcast, and when I had a chance to interview him I took it. There is no politics in this podcast interview—just a fanatic fly fisher who talks about why he loves it, how he finds time in his busy life to go fly fishing, and what excites him the most about it. This was a lively and fun interview with a fair amount of good-natured ribbing.    In the Fly Box this week I have no voice files to play (hint, hint) but lots of great e-mails with interesting questions and a few tips from listeners, including: A listener looks for advice on how to carry his fishing gear on a plane. How do I fish plunge pools? Why don't I catch anything in the deep spot below the waterfall? What rods do I need for fishing both small streams in Smoky Mountain streams and steelhead fishing in Ohio? A listener gives advice on the Orvis Dropper Rig Fly Box and why you need to check local regulations before you use a 3-fly rig. A listener relates a story of his great customer service experience Why did trout smash my size 20 dry fly but not connect? Will smallmouth bass and rainbow trout hold in the same water? What knots do you recommend for different presentations and why? What is the best way to get my fly under the mangroves without hanging up?

#741 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/741 Presented By: On DeMark Lodge If you're dreaming about a fall trip to Montana to chase trophy trout under the big sky, this episode is for you. We're heading to the Missouri River with the DeMark family—Craig, Becky, and Warren—from On DeMark Lodge. They're sharing what makes their small, family-run lodge near Craig, MT, one of the most dialed-in operations on the Missouri River. You'll hear exactly what to expect in October—from long dry fly drifts over rising pods to aggressive streamer eats in shallow water. We get their full strategy for fishing fall hatches like blue-winged olives, mahogany duns, and october caddis, plus the best nymph and streamer rigs to run in cooler water. And they're breaking down the dry fly presentation mistakes most anglers make—and how to fix them. From home-cooked meals and campfire stories to chasing wild browns and rainbows on one of the most consistent rivers in the country, this episode has it all. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/741

#740 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/740   Presented by: Northern Rockies Adventures In this episode, we dive into the remote and wild fishing experiences offered by Northern Rockies Adventures with Daniel Schildknecht, Phil Rowley, and Lance Egan. From chasing Northern Pike, Lake Trout, and Grayling to navigating untouched rivers by float plane, this trip had it all. Plus, we get an inside look at an upcoming hosted trip that might be your next dream adventure. Strap in for big fish, wild landscapes, and some unforgettable moments on the Wet Fly Swing Podcast! Episode Chapters with Phil, Daniel, and Lance on Northern Rockies Whitefish, Grayling, and the Predator-Prey Game The lakes and rivers of the Northern Rockies are home to a mix of fish, each playing a role in the ecosystem. While whitefish and grayling might not be top targets for every angler, they tell an important story about these waters. Key Takeaways: - Whitefish = Healthy Water – Mountain whitefish are a sign of clean, untouched rivers. If they're thriving, so is the fishery. - Grayling on Dry Flies – These fish love rising to dries but don't always have the best aim. Be ready for multiple takes! - Whitefish = Food Source – Big rainbows, bull trout, and lake trout feast on whitefish. Schools of them hugging the bank means predators are nearby. Some of the best fishing moments happen when you're not just casting but observing. In these remote waters, every fish has a role, and understanding them can make you a better angler. Crystal Clear Lakes and a Short but Intense Fishing Season The lakes of the Northern Rockies aren't like most others. They are deep, clear, and packed with life. With diverse landscapes and rich water quality, these lakes create the perfect habitat for big, healthy fish. What Makes These Lakes Special? - Ultra-clear water – No murky lakes here, just pristine, see-through waters. - Rich food sources – Scuds (freshwater shrimp), snails, and chironomids fuel big trout. - Diverse habitats – From deep, rocky basins to shallow, weedy shoals, every lake is different. The fishing season here is short but intense. If you're after prime stillwater action, aim for June to September. For big pike, cooler water in June or late August is best. And if dry flies are your thing, mid-July to mid-August is peak time. Chasing Lake Trout: Timing, Depth, and Surprise Encounters Lake trout can be tricky on the fly, but with the right approach, they're not impossible. These fish love cold, oxygen-rich water, so they move deep when temperatures rise. But sometimes, they show up in the last place you'd expect. Flying into the Wild: The Ultimate Fishing Access Getting to Northern Rockies Adventures isn't just a journey—it's part of the experience. Float planes take anglers deep into untouched waters, where the only crowds are schools of hungry fish. The Bush Planes That Get You There - Caravan – A “rocket ship on floats,” built for speed and comfort. - Turbo Otter – A powerhouse that carries up to nine anglers in style. - King Air 300 – The luxury ride from Vancouver, flying right over the Rockies. Every flight brings jaw-dropping views, from rugged peaks to remote lakes. And with bubble windows, you're never missing a moment. No crowded boats, no long drives—just you, a plane, and the adventure ahead. Phil and Tim Flagler are teaming up for a special hosted trip at Northern Rockies Adventures from August 10–17, 2025. This trip offers a mix of stillwater and river fishing, with access to some of the wildest and most untouched fisheries in North America. What to Expect - Four flyouts to remote waters, targeting multiple species. - Guided and hosted fishing with Phil, Tim, and the Northern Rockies team. - Pre-trip Zoom sessions to go over logistics, gear, and flies. - Lodge accommodations with incredible food and views. If you're interested in joining the trip, email Daniel or Phil at daniel@nradventures.com or flycraft@shaw.ca or visit flycraftangling.com. Exploring the Northern Rockies by Float Plane Lance Egan spent an unforgettable week at Northern Rockies Adventures, fishing six out of seven days and staying at the lodge right off the Alaska Highway. The experience combined world-class fishing, comfortable accommodations, and breathtaking views. Lance landed rainbows, bull trout, grayling, northern pike, and lake trout while exploring the remote waters. With 132 million hectares of wilderness and 80+ fishing locations, the possibilities were endless. Even after a week, it felt like they had only scratched the surface. One of the biggest highlights? Flying in a float plane over untouched rivers and hidden lakes, picking the perfect spot to fish. With so many unexplored waters, it's an angler's paradise waiting to be discovered. A Fly Fishing Playground: Dry Flies, Streamers, and Bull Trout Lance mixed it up on this trip, fishing dry flies, streamers, and even topwater poppers. While dry fly fishing was his go-to, he also found success stripping streamers for bull trout, pike, and lake trout. Bull Trout: Targeted near drop-offs and inlets, using streamers like white sparkle minnows. - Pike: Explosive topwater eats on poppers and divers in shallow, clear lakes. - Grayling & Rainbows: Dry flies were the ticket, with spot-and-stalk fishing making for exciting takes.

He's The Scientific Angler on YouTube whose videos of Corrib, Arrow and Sheelin show brown trout fishing in Ireland at its best, but what's also great about Ronan McWilliams' fly fishing videos is his honesty. He's not afraid to say when he's blanked and when he's found it tough – authenticity as he says is what it's all about. Ronan also tells us about the mystique of the Blue Stacks in Donegal and why he loves nothing better than getting away from it all fishing on remote hill loughs.  For more from Ronan, visit his channel at https://www.youtube.com/@thescientificangler.  Keep up to date with all the latest Ireland on the Fly on https://www.IrelandontheFly.com and get regular updates on https://Instagram.com/IrelandontheFly.

Would you do it for a shot at dry fly takes? Today, we're heading deep into the Gunnison Gorge Wilderness with John Radle, former guide and now general manager at Bauer Reels. John shares what it takes to run this iconic stretch of water during the famous salmonfly hatch, how to scout for trout by looking at water splashes on canyon walls, and what makes the Gunnison rainbow so unique. We'll also break down reel design from a guy who worked where Porsche engineering meets fly fishing, the difference between sealed and open drag systems, and why balance matters more than you think when picking the right reel for your rod. Plus, John shares his favorite drift boats, tips for surviving the desert heat, and what makes Simms gear a standout in fly fishing. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/737

Rainbow trout are known for their acrobatics, and for growing so big they look like more like a football than a fish.  You can also catch rainbows in LITERALLY every state in America.  But how often do you treat rainbows as just an afterthought? We're busy chasing browns, or cutthroat, or brookies, but rainbows don't always get the love they should. And that's a shame, since some of the BEST fish I've ever caught on a fly rod are rainbows!  This week on Untangled, we're taking a deep dive into rainbow trout. You'll learn about their life cycle, their feeding habits, the flies they like - even the best places in a river to look for them!  If you want to hook into a big ol' rainbow trout this year, you've gotta listen to this week's show!  You'll also learn about:  How to find new places to go fly fishing, even if you're traveling to somewhere you've never been before  Some tips on finding new flies to tie, and materials to tie those flies with The value of looking for, and discovering, new places to fly fish, all on your own  LINKS FROM THE SHOW Get the FREE Rigs & Knots Guide - CHECK IT OUT Join the VFC Online Community - CHECK IT OUT QUESTIONS FOR THE SHOW - SUBMIT HERE #LIVEREELLIFE MOMENT - SUBMIT HERE PODCAST - The Ultimate Guide to Brown Trout - LISTEN HERE VIDEO - Find Your Own Fly Fishing Spot - CHECK IT OUT  

In this episode of WAYPOINTS, we journey deep into the heart of Alaska's remote southwest to explore one of the most legendary rivers in the North – the Nushagak. Known simply as “the Nush,” this 280-mile wilderness river is famous for its massive runs of wild Pacific salmon, thriving populations of leopard rainbow trout, and a setting so remote that it's only accessible by bush plane or boat. Joining us are Dave Pishko and Sawyer Keener of Outpost on the Nush, a small, wilderness-based camp that delivers unmatched access to the upper river's most productive stretches. We dive into what makes this river so unique, the camp's deep history that dates back to 1982, and the challenges (and rewards) of running a truly off-the-grid fly fishing operation. Topics include gear, the guides, the logistics, and the conservation issues surrounding the Bristol Bay region. Whether you're an Alaska veteran, a trout fanatic, or someone who's always dreamed of an immersive fly fishing experience in the “Land of the Midnight Sun,” this one's for you.Waypoints is brought to you by PatagoniaTo bring their gear to life, Patagonia is motivated by relentless curiosity and a passion for the wild.

Phil #735 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/735 Presented By:  Four Wheel Campers, Pescador on the Fly, Yellowstone Teton Territory In this episode of The Littoral Zone with Phil Rowley, Tom Jarman, a top competitive fly angler and winner of the 2024 Australian Fly Fishing Championships, breaks down his best strategies, tactics, and flies for fishing Australian lakes and beyond. Episode Chapters with Tom Jarman on Fly Fishing Australian Lakes Tom was born in Melbourne, Australia, but he spent part of his childhood in England, where he first picked up a fishing rod. When his family returned to Australia in 2000, his passion for the sport grew and he got into competitive fly fishing at 15.  He later studied environmental science, while spending summers guiding in Tasmania. Now at 31, Tom has built a life around fly fishing—guiding, coaching, and sharing his knowledge with others. Tom started his YouTube channel to showcase the incredible fishing in Victoria. His videos highlight both river and lake fishing.  Tom also designed a range of flies with FlyLife Magazine, built specifically for Australia's unique fisheries. The Shrek Fly  Tom and Phil dive into the effectiveness of the Shrek fly. Designed by Joe Riley, this fly stands out with its metallic green and gold hues, mimicking Australia's native baitfish. It's so effective that even anglers from the U.S. have adapted it for their own waters. Check out Tom's video tutorial on How To Tie Shrek and see why this fly is a must-have in your box: https://youtu.be/wsoHmpErZMI?si=vNAEzwNVU4UgLdjT Key Tips from Competition Fishing 17:38 - Tom shares what he's learned from competitions that every angler can use: Structure your day to maximize your chances of success. Location is key. Fish aren't everywhere, so focus on finding them. Cover water fast. In a boat, you'd move quickly to locate fish. Apply this same mindset on the bank. Fish key spots. Target windward shores, calm areas, drop-offs, weed beds, and rocky structures. Don't get stuck in one place too long, especially if the fish aren't biting. Gear Tips for Stillwater Fishing Rod  Tom swears by a 10-foot rod for Stillwater fishing. It gives him better casting control, helps manage flies near the boat, and allows for longer leaders. Here's what he prefers: 10 ft 6 wt – Tom's all-around choice. 10 ft 7wt – Great for streamers and windy conditions. 10ft 8wt  – Helps cast farther in competitions. Tom also likes stiffer rods in windy conditions for quicker hook sets. A strong rod means better control, especially when fish push farther out.   Leader Tom keeps things simple when fishing subsurface. Instead of a tapered leader, he uses a level fluorocarbon leader for better contact with his flies. He also uses a beaded fly at the end to help the cast turn over, even in the wind. When fishing dry flies, he switches to a tapered leader to transfer energy smoothly. He trims off the extra thick butt section and the non-tapered tip, then adds a tippet ring before tying on his tippet.   Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/735  

The tight line dance is another collection of movements to the streamer loosely grouped together into a system or framework for covering many water types and gaining reactions from the trout. It's all about taking the advantages of a tight line, Mono Rig system to the streamer game and using contact to control every aspect of the streamer's course through the river.We use a visible streamer for the tight line dance. We watch the streamer dip and swoon around rocks, tree parts and the river bank. Wherever there's good structure, that's the next target. The concept of the tight line dance allows us to hold the streamer around structure for longer, animating the streamer in every way imaginable to convince the trout.My friend, Austin Dando, joins me for a great discussion.ResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | Category | StreamersREAD: Troutbitten | Streamer Presentations -- The Tight Line DanceREAD: Troutbitten | Streamer Presentations - The Super Pause VisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten Facebook Thank You to Pre-Roll Ad Sponsors:SkwalaandOrvis

Well, I know that people like finding and catching wild trout... but I was still quite surprised when this article blew up as much as it did. Casting Across was glowing red hot from all the online traffic a post generated this week. I'm not sure what I did right (or wrong), and I don't think I'm going to ask too many questions. Regardless, there is a good chance you're new to the site and the podcast because of it: so welcome! Today I explore the three pieces of research that go into my wild trout pioneering. They're not radical or complicated, but they're effective. As I talk about them and share a handful of anecdotes, I hope you're encouraged to go out and find some wild fish where "there's no fish there." Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode we WadeOutThere with Jarob Ortiz, from Arlington, Virginia.  Jarob started fly fishing in 3rd grade, after being drawn to the delicate cast and presentation portrayed in the popular book and movie, A River Runs Through It.  He learned to cast from his uncle from Montana, and when he signed up for the Air Force out of high school, Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska was at the top of his list.  When he wasn't working in the A-10 Warthog's electronic warfare shop, he was spending all his free time traveling to fishing destinations throughout Alaska.  After separating from the Air Force, Jarob used his G.I. Bill to pay for photography equipment and education, to start his second career.  Jarob spent several years being a commercial photographer and fly fishing on the side, before making a last ditch attempt to keep his passion for photography alive, applying for a dream job, shooting our National Parks in the style and technique of famous photographer Ansel Adams.  Today, Jarob is THE large format photographer for the national park service, tasked to capture the historic architecture and engineering projects throughout our country.  We discuss how becoming engrossed in the systems we commit to, whether they be fly fishing or  photography, create a balance in our lives, and Jarod shares stories and tips from some of his most memorable fly fishing adventures in our National Parks.Learn More:Instagram: @heritagedocumentationnpsVisit WadeOutThere.com/art for 10% off your first original painting or limited edition print from show host and artist Jason Shemchuk Visit TacticalFlyFisher.com and use Promo Code: wade15 at checkout for 15% off you next tactical gear purchase.Newsletter Sign-Up .

With episode seven of this Troutbitten Skills Series, we've finally come to the point where we've covered all the different ways to move a streamer and give it some animation. Now it's time to put all of that together.This whole series has been about what motions might sell the presentation. Because how we move the streamer fools the next trout. And there's such a wealth of options that it can be very helpful to break things down into individual parts.So we talked about jerk strips, glides, slides, speed leads, lane changes, jigs and head flips. We've talked a lot about the position or orientation of the fly in the water. Is it drifting with the current, crossing currents or swinging against them? Is the streamer near the surface or is it deep? And within all these animations, are we moving the fly quick or smooth, and are the motions long or short?Now, for the last three episodes of this streamer presentations skills series, we're ready to talk about putting a group of these animations into a system, a mindset, or a framework for fishing your streamer.In this episode, we introduce the concept of the Crossover Technique, which is all about getting the streamer low in the strike zone and then animating it within a narrow range, being careful not to move the fly out of the strike zone or move it too far. It's a really fun presentation style, if you can get your brain around the small, often minor animations necessary. The Crossover is also extremely effective, and it results in a much lower refusal percentage than most streamer tactics.So, we can go out and choose only to swing flies or to strip them cross current — or to slow slide, jerk strip or jig. The point is, each of the presentations we talked about in the previous episodes stands alone as a great way to show the streamer to a trout.But we also like to spend time combining these presentations — because it's fun. Because fishing streamers like this is a creative, fluid process of working with what the river gives you and adapting to new situations, moment after moment.So the real trick with something like the Crossover is to be disciplined enough to stay within your framework while also using your creativity.My friend, Austin Dando, joins me for a great discussion.ResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | Category | StreamersREAD: Troutbitten | Streamer Presentations -- The Crossover TechniqueVIDEO: Troutbitten | Fish and Film -- Crossover ShiftsREAD: Troutbitten | How Big of an Ask?VisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten Facebook Thank You to Pre-Roll Ad Sponsors:SkwalaandOrvis
