Have you ever wondered how changing weather conditions or the lunar cycle impact trout behavior and feeding patterns? This episode promises to unravel these mysteries, offering vital insights that could transform your on-the-water success. With Jason's extensive research and Phil's practical experience, listeners will gain a deeper understanding of how to adapt their fishing strategies in response to environmental changes. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the sport, this discussion is packed with valuable information and tips. Dive in to learn how to adjust your fly presentations and enhance your fishing experience, no matter what nature throws your way. Episode Chapters with Jason Randall and Phil Rowley on Fish Behavior 10:30 - Phil and Jason discuss the impact of weather changes, specifically barometric pressure, on trout behavior in Stillwater environments. Phil notes how changes in pressure, temperature, and light seem to influence trout, comparing it to the effect of shaking a snow globe. Jason argues that trout are not significantly affected by barometric pressure changes as humans are. 17:29 - Phil and Jason discuss the behavior of lake trout and other fish when brought up from deep waters. They explain how fish like trout have an air sac used for buoyancy control, similar to a scuba vest, allowing them to maintain neutral buoyancy. This differs from pressure-sensitive eardrums in humans. Some fish, like rockfish, suffer from barotrauma when rapidly brought to the surface, leading to their air sac protruding from their mouth. Phil mentions technology that helps fish equalize pressure when released back into the water. 25:38 - Jason discusses how weather changes, particularly impending weather fronts, can be perceived through various natural cues beyond just barometric pressure. He describes how high-level clouds like cirrus clouds can indicate approaching weather changes, and changes in wind direction often mark the passage of a front. He notes that while temperature changes occur with cold fronts, the solar energy has a more significant impact on water temperatures. 28:59 - Jason highlights the role of electrical activity, such as static electricity, observed during severe weather, and theorizes about the effects of ionization on mood and behavior. He explains that negative ions generally improve mood, while positive ions, often from pollutants, can lead to depression. He further speculates on the interaction between ionization and bioelectric fields in organisms, suggesting that fish might use these cues as an early warning system for weather changes. J 33:53 - Phil and Jason explore the idea that certain fishing techniques, such as wrapping wire around hooks, might create bioelectric fields that affect fish behavior. Jason references research indicating that dissimilar metals on lures, like lead or tungsten, can generate a bioelectric field that potentially repels fish. 37:02 - They discuss strategies for fishing when trout behavior changes due to weather conditions. Phil explains that during such times, trout often retreat to deeper areas and become less active, making it more challenging to catch them. He suggests slowing down tactics, using indicators, and triggering bites rather than relying solely on feeding responses. Jason agrees and adds that trout, like humans after a big meal, may enter a state of inactivity where they are not active in fast-moving waters. Instead, they seek safe, low-threat areas to rest. To catch trout in this condition, anglers may need to present lures enticingly to coax a response, similar to how someone might grab an easy snack when resting. 43:49 - Jason discusses the concept of homeostasis, which refers to the natural balance that organisms and ecosystems strive to maintain. He further explains that homeostasis is essential from the cellular level to complex organisms and habitats. They also touch upon how environmental stressors, like weather changes and lunar phases, can disrupt this balance, prompting organisms to react in ways that restore homeostasis. 49:44 - Phil delves into the effects of lunar phases on fish behavior and feeding patterns. Phil outlines the various lunar phases. He explains how the moon's gravitational force, which is 2.2 times greater than the sun's at the Earth's surface, influences tides and consequently affects fish and their food sources. This gravitational pull leads to tidal activities that are crucial for both saltwater anglers and the ecosystems they navigate. 55:52 - Jason explains the difference between spring tides, associated with the new and full moons, and neap tides, associated with the first and third quarter moons. 1:02:47 - They get into the role of the pineal gland in trout behavior, as highlighted in Jason's book "Trout Sense." They explore how the pineal gland, often referred to as the trout's "third eye," detects changes in light and affects trout behavior, including predator detection and circadian rhythms. The gland's influence on melatonin secretion is also discussed, impacting trout's rest and activity cycles, particularly during different moon phases. 1:08:14 - They discuss fishing strategies during full moon periods. Phil mentions that many anglers avoid planning vacations around the full moon due to the increased visibility it provides, likening it to someone leaving the lights on. Jason prefers fishing three to four days after a full or new moon, experiencing optimal conditions up to 10-14 days later. 1:13:33 - To summarize, Phil and Jason agree that adapting to environmental changes is crucial, suggesting strategies like slowing down and fishing deeper in lakes to effectively respond to natural phenomena.

Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/662 Presented By:  Stonefly Nets, TroutRoutes, Smitty's Fly Box  In today's Littoral Zone episode, Phil chats with Jason Randall about what trout see and why it matters. Jason has written four books, including his famous trout trilogy, which dives deep into how trout behave in their environment. While Jason's passion lies in rivers and streams, the research and knowledge he's amassed is equally beneficial to stillwater fly fishers. ]His understanding of how trout see is crucial information for all fly fishers, guiding both our pattern selection and presentation techniques, information that helps us consistently make the correct pattern and presentation choice. Show Notes with Jason Randall on What Trout See and Why it Matters. 2:20 - Jason Randall graduated as a veterinarian and did postgraduate work in fish health and medicine. Although he considered a career in fisheries, he ultimately chose private practice. 4:16 - Jason started fly fishing around 40 years ago but got frustrated early on due to a lack of guidance. He took a break, then later tried again this time with the help of great mentors. Jason says his passion really started during a trip to Colorado. A guide introduced him to a caddis hatch that transformed the river into a feeding frenzy of trout. Watching the stream come alive with caddis and rising fish was a game-changer for Jason. 08:21 - Jason says he was lucky to have some amazing mentors like George Kustin who guided him in fly fishing and taught him about wet flies and soft tackles. Lefty Kreh took Jason under his wing. 09:31 - Jason also works with Temple Fork Outfitters on rod design and prototype testing. This year, they introduced a new European Nymphing Rod called the Elevare, which won Best New Rod at ICAST 2024. Books by Jason Randall 13:00 - Jason's trout fishing trilogy started in 2012 with Jay Nichols from Stackpole Books. The trilogy covers: Feeding Time: A Fly Fisher's Guide to What, When and Where Trout Eat Trout Sense: A Fly Fisher's Guide to What Trout See, Hear, and Smell Moving Water: A Fly Fisher's Guide to Currents Jason also wrote Nymph Masters, a collaborative effort featuring tips from top nymph anglers like Gary Borger and Lefty Kreh. Trout Sense 17:00 - Trout begins life as prey, eating small organisms like plankton.  As they grow, they become predators, feeding on insects, crustaceans, and even small fish or mammals. They retain the wide-set eyes of prey for spotting threats and the sharp focus of predators for hunting. This makes them tricky to catch.   21:10 - Jason explains how light works differently underwater, which affects how trout see. Refraction, or the bending of light when it moves from air to water, can also trick us into thinking we're casting right over a fish, but we could be a few feet off.  26:08 - Jason dives into how color fades underwater, starting with red, and how different colors are absorbed at various depths. Fluorescent colors like chartreuse stand out the most and create a strong contrast, which trout notice. 29:18 - Unlike humans, a trout's pupils don't adjust to light, and their eyes have a football-like shape that lets them see clearly both in front and to the side. Search Image and How Trout Decide to Eat 42:11 - Trout uses a "search image" to figure out what's food and what's not. They focus on four things: size, shape (profile), movement, and color. If a fish keeps ignoring your fly from far away, it's probably the size or shape that's off. But if they come close, and then turn away, Jason says that it may be a color-based refusal.

  A couple months ago I did a podcast with Jason Randall [36:39] on trout vision, and it was so popular that I asked him to come back on the podcast to do one on a trout's sense of smell and hearing.  Can trout hear your metal studs on the bottom when you wade, or the tip of your wading staff?  Can they hear you talking?  Can they smell your flies, and does it make sense to add scents to your fly?  Can they smell hatches coming?  I explore these and other topics with one of our foremost experts on what trout perceive in their environment.   In the Fly Box this week, we have a great assortment of questions and tips from listeners, including: What could I tie with size 16 and 18 Keel Hooks? When working the same pool, should the nymph or streamer angler cover the pool first? Where should you park when you see a stretch of unposted land? A listener relates a fun story of his first carp on the fly What would make me choose the more expensive textured Pro fly line over the Smooth version? What is your rod, leader, and fly setup when fishing a small stream? Is there a difference between a dubbing loop and the split thread technique? Do Recons and Clearwaters go through the same process of improvements that Helios rods do? I saw a lot of bugs but no trout rising.  Do you think they were overwhelmed by too much food? If trout in the East don't eat adult stoneflies much, why does the Chubby Chernobyl work so well? I find sunglasses in the evening a hindrance.  What should I do to protect my eyes after the sun goes down?

Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/599 Presented By: Yellowstone Teton Territory, FishHound Expeditions, Jackson Hole Fly Company, Togiak River Lodge What do you do when your favorite spot is packed with other anglers or when you're navigating crowded rivers all day? Today we uncover expert tips on fly fishing pressured waters and gain exclusive insights from Nick Conklin of Temple Fork Outfitters.

They cover both conventional and fly fishing categories. 9:36 - Nick tells us about their collaboration with Jason Randall on rod projects, including the Drift series. Recommendations for New Fly Fishers Nick suggests starting with a combo kit like the NXT Black Label Kit. Here's a summary of his recommendations and insights: Combo kits provide everything a beginner needs, including the rod, reel, backing, fly line, and leader, making it easier to get started without worrying about individual components. New anglers should consider their budget and what type of fishing they plan to do the most. This helps in choosing the right rod weight and length for their needs. Combo kits often come with a practice fly line, allowing beginners to practice casting without worrying about damaging an expensive fly line. Casting Tips 18:00 - Nick emphasizes the importance of seeking guidance from qualified educators or casting instructors who can help beginners navigate the casting process effectively. Local fly shops, fly fishing clubs, and online resources like Google searches can be invaluable in finding resources and communities to support learning. While it may require an investment, hiring a guide can significantly accelerate the learning curve and provide valuable insights into fishing techniques, specific waters, and asking pertinent questions. Fly Fishing Pressured Waters 21:00 - Nick's upcoming book, Fly Fishing Pressured Western Rivers, is scheduled for release by the end of 2024. The book aims to address the challenges of fishing on heavily pressured rivers, particularly in Western regions. Navigating crowded rivers and finding success can be challenging but rewarding. Here are some valuable tips from Nick: Preparation: Focus on organizing gear, practicing casting skills, and refining your approach before hitting the water to maximize fishing time. Observation: Spend time observing other anglers' techniques and approaches to learn from their successes and challenges. Flexibility: Stay open to adjusting your fishing strategies based on seasonal conditions, time of day, and weather to increase your chances of success. Journaling: Keep detailed notes about your fishing experiences, including what worked, what didn't, and any observations about conditions or tactics. Reviewing these notes before future trips can provide valuable insights and improve fishing performance. TFO Rod Lineup Overview TFO offers a diverse lineup of rods catering to various fishing styles and species, ensuring there's something for everyone from beginners to seasoned anglers. They provide high-quality rods at reasonable price points. They offer combo kits that include rod and reel combinations, making it convenient and cost-effective for beginners to get started with everything they need. Choosing the Right Fly Rod for Beginners Here are some key tips and advice for beginners looking to choose the right fly rod: Try Different Rods: Try out a few different rods to find one that fits your casting style and preferences. Focus on Personal Preference: Ignore brand names and logos initially. Instead, focus on how comfortable and enjoyable the rod feels to cast. Evaluate Budget and Usage: Determine your budget and how often you'll be fishing. Start with a Versatile Option: A nine-foot five-weight rod is a good starting point for most freshwater fishing situations Consider Weight Differences: When expanding your rod collection, consider a two or three-weight difference from your initial rod.

We've just launched the Driftless Dry Fly School and we're diving into the details of what's in store for the lucky winner who will snag a spot on this exciting adventure. We're also offering six slots for those who want to join us on this epic trip with Geri Meyer and Jason Randall. Episode Chapters with Geri Meyer on Technical Dry Fly Fishing 01:42 - Geri provides a quick update on the current conditions in the Driftless region. Overall, fishing remains solid despite the challenges posed by the ongoing drought. 5:00 - Geri discusses the challenges of dry fly fishing in small, technical streams, emphasizing the need for stealth and delicate presentation. She highlights the prevalence of blue-winged olives and Tricos as key hatches, with sizes ranging from 16 to 22.   Presentation Techniques for Successful Dry Fly Fishing 08:00 - Geri Meyer underscores the significance of considering water conditions and adopting a stealthy approach. With potential weed obstacles and a focus on tail outs, seams, and tight banks, anglers must proceed slowly and deliberately to avoid spooking fish. 10:00 - Whether targeting specific fish or exploring promising areas, Geri emphasizes the importance of precise placement, typically aiming a foot or two ahead of the target. Additionally, she highlights the versatility of streamer fishing as an alternative strategy when traditional methods don't produce results. Exploring the Driftless Region: What Makes it so Different?  11:38 - The term "Driftless" originates from the lack of glacial drift due to the absence of ice coverage. This resulted in the formation of spring-fed streams and picturesque landscapes, attracting anglers from far and wide. 14:00 -Geri discusses the impact of drought conditions on the spring-fed streams of the Driftless Region.   Driftless Dry Fly School Giveaway 15:14 - We discuss the upcoming trip to the Driftless Region with Geri and Jason Randall. Geri tells us about her longstanding friendship with Jason Randall, praising his expertise and fun personality. We look forward to not just fishing but also enjoying delicious meals and relaxed hangouts. 18:17 - Geri emphasizes the importance of leveraging local expertise for a successful trip. She recommends contacting their shop, Driftless Angler, or checking their daily reports online to stay updated on hatches and conditions. 21:00 - Geri shares essential fly patterns to include in our boxes for late September fishing. Here are some recommendations: Parachute Adams in sizes 12 to 18 Trico patterns Micro olive patterns Terrestrial patterns such as hoppers, preferably in natural colors Cricket patterns like the Marsh Cricket Essential Casting Tips for Success in the Driftless Area 25:00 - Geri emphasizes the importance of precision over distance, noting that shorter, more accurate casts are often more effective than long ones. She encourages anglers to hone a solid 25-foot cast, allowing for better control and presentation. Additionally, Geri highlights the significance of delicate casting to avoid splashing. While precise casts are crucial, a subtle movement can sometimes be advantageous. Choosing the Right Gear for the Driftless Area 42:00 - When it comes to gear selection for dry fly fishing in the Driftless Region, consider the following recommendations: Rod Selection Opt for rods in the 3 to 5 weight range. A 4-weight rod is versatile and suitable for various fishing conditions. A 3-weight rod excels in perfect conditions with abundant hatches. Glass rods offer a soft presentation and precise casting, ideal for shorter casts and precise placement in tight spots. However, if you're new to using glass rods, practice casting beforehand and adjust your technique and timing for optimal performance. Leader Setup Start with a 9-foot 4X leader and adjust based on conditions. Use a 4X tippet and tie it to the leader with a surgeon's knot. Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/578

Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/566 Presented By: Northern Rockies Adventures, Visit Helena, MT, TroutRoutes   Have you ever struggled to fish a dry fly? Today we have Jason Randall back on to break down dry fly fishing, the perfect dry dropper leader setup, and how to fish it. Jason shares three invaluable tips, from his unique leader rigging with a tippet ring to the nuanced technique of twitching your fly, addressing common pitfalls in energy transfer during casting.

Drew Benton just won the 2023 Marathon Bassmaster Elite event at Lake Murray. The Floridian had the lead after two days of competition and then slipped up and barely made the cut to earn a berth on the final day. Benton proved his toughness by coming back strong and taking the crown on the final day. Drew Benton is a master at the technique of sight fishing which came in handy on Murray. Benton is hovering around the million-dollar mark in career earnings and we are sure his best days are yet to come. Please listen to a great interview with a great guy!Dan Johnston from St. Croix is with us to talk about new baits versus old baits. Great subject!   Jason Randall is a true authority on the sport of fly fishing. Jason has written a number of books on the subject. Jason's books are not just for practitioners of the sport, they are perfect for anglers who merely have an interest in taking up the sport. Give Jason a listen, please.

In this Episode we WadeOutThere with Jason Randall from Viroqua, Wisconsin.  Jason grew up learning to fish from his father.   After serving in the army and attending college as a biology major, he worked briefly in the hatchery and fishery business, which helped influence the scientific approach he takes to fly fishing and trout. Jason credits the generosity of his many fly fishing mentors with helping him learn and progress over the years, and is the reason he values the educational aspect of the sport so much today.  Jason has been a teacher in fly fishing for decades, has written several fly fishing books, and was the trout feature writer for American Angler Magazine.  We discuss Jason's scientific approach to fly fishing, the specific adjustments he makes based on water temperature, sky cover, sun angles, and water clarity.  As well as presentation techniques for accomplishing what Jason describes as “the three goals of nymphing.”You can follow along with Jason on his fly fishing journey or reach out to him on Instagram at:@jasonrandallfllyfishingIf you'd like more in depth information on the topics we discussed try these books from Jason:Nymph Masters.

Welcome back to The RecruitingDaily Podcast! Jason Randall, CEO of Questco, joins William Tincup to discuss the cultural implications of requiring employment agreements. Questco founded itself on payroll and HR services, so Jason is the perfect guest to tackle this topic today.Tune in and make sure to leave us your thoughts in the comments.

Jason Randall is the author of Beyond The Superhero: Executive Leadership For The Rest Of Us. Jason lays the groundwork for what new leaders need to focus on in the first 90 days of their new role. He also shares how leaders, with impossible expectations, are able to meet the demands without losing their cape.   Jason was named CEO of Questco, a Houston-area HR outsourcing company known for its can-do spirit and award-winning customer service in 2018. Jason studied accounting at the University of Missouri-Columbia, became a CPA for an international firm, then left to start a small franchise business with a lifelong friend.   Key Takeaways [3:35] The superhero myth is this idea that you have to do all and be all in your executive position. [5:15] You need to go beyond the popular opinion of what leadership should be and dig deeper into what an effective leader actually is. [6:15] Leaders that face imposter syndrome have to be reminded that people backed you in the first place for a reason. [8:30] As new leaders, Jason outlines what they need to be thinking about during their first 90 days in office. [14:15] When Jason entered into a company culture people already loved, he knew he had to establish an emotional center as the new CEO. [16:20] Jason knew by entering into this ecosystem, there were going to be some key players that might have to be self-selected out.[19:20] Jason shares his thoughts on how to find good advisors in the company to get the real scoop a leader needs to know about the organization. [20:05] It's natural for a leader to not get the truth from his or her people… at first. [22:05] To curb disdain from your staff on particular decisions you're making as a leader, it's sometimes helpful to showcase your thought process in all transparency. However, it is a gift and it might not work for everyone. [26:50] Jason is well aware that his initial plan is often wrong. That's why he has the power of his team behind him, to help course correct. [29:15] Leaders are essential for establishing direction and the tone, but you must be aware of your ego in this process. If you think you've achieved what you've achieved alone, then you're missing what leadership is about. [31:15] Jason shares a leadership lesson he's learned over the years and how he's navigated crises throughout his career. [35:05] The time to plan is not when you're in a crisis, it's when you're at peace (relatively). [36:20] Listener challenge: What are some of the management challenges that you've overcome? Send them to Jason!   Quotable Quotes “That leader has achieved the notoriety, the fame, the success, and the lasting impact because of their reluctance to do it all themselves.” “You need to go beyond the popular opinion of what leadership should be and go deeper into what an effective leader actually is, and how they behave.” “Assumptions lead you astray. Early in the role, you have the benefit of being able to ask the naive question.” “As a new executive, you were selected for the role to make changes, to evaluate the sacred cows and determine which ones are worthy of worship, and which ones need to go along their way.”   Resources Mentioned Sponsored by: Darley.com Connect with Jason: Questco.net and Jason on LinkedIn Jason's latest book: Beyond The Superhero: Executive Leadership For The Rest Of Us, by Jason Randall
