Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/576B Presented By: Togiak River Lodge, TroutRoutes Today on the Littoral Zone, Phil Rowley sits down with Colorado-based fly fisher guide and author, Landon Mayer, to uncover his shoreline strategies and tactics for fly fishing lakes. Phil and Landon dive into the challenges of accessing lakes and the rewards that come with mastering shore fishing techniques. Tune in to discover the art of fly selection, understanding wind and weather patterns, and why sometimes, the biggest rewards lie just at the water's edge. Show Notes with Landon Mayer on Shoreline Strategies and Tactics.   Fly Fishing Question of the Day: How Do North Winds Affect Trout Fishing? Phil Rowley explains that while southwest winds typically indicate stable weather and good fishing conditions, north or east winds often signal a change in weather and temperature, leading to tough fishing. Phil advises anglers to adapt their tactics by fishing deeper waters with slow-moving flies when facing challenging conditions caused by north winds. "Fishing is often tough in these conditions, so don't expect miraculous results. But if you're persistent and recognize the circumstances and adapt, you should be able to land a fish or two." Episode Chapters with Landon Mayer on Shoreline Strategies and Tactics Meet Landon Mayer 06:00 - Landon Mayer is a renowned fly fisher, guide, and author. He fell in love with fly fishing at a young age and started guiding right out of high school, eventually making it his career. He contributes regularly to magazines such as High Country Angler and Fly Fisherman Magazine. Landon is also an accomplished author, having published six books on topics ranging from trophy trout fishing to fly tying. His first book, published at age 25, focused on trophy trout fishing. Other titles include "Sight Fishing for Trout," "Colorado's Best Fly Fishing," and "101 Trout Tips." One of his recent favorites is "Guide Flies," which explores the art of fly design and sharing knowledge through fly patterns. Stillwater Fishing from Shore 9:00- Many fly anglers face the challenge of accessing still waters without a watercraft. Landon emphasizes two approaches to stillwater fishing: Starting from the bank, which is common for new anglers without access to a vessel. Venturing into deeper water, but also exploring edge fishing and bay fishing with water depths of one to four feet, which Landon personally finds to be highly productive for sight fishing. Photo courtesy of Phil Rowley Gear Essentials for Shore Fishing 11:18 - Phil and Landon discuss the gear needed for shore fishing stillwaters. Landon recommends using 10 to 11-foot rods for better control over the fish, especially when dealing with larger catches. He suggests using floating lines or intermediate sinking lines, and longer fluorocarbon leaders for optimal performance. Additionally, Landon emphasizes the importance of durable chest waders and boots with good traction, as they will endure significant wear and tear from being constantly submerged in water. Choosing the Right Fly Lines for Shore Fishing 13:00 - Landon explains that mid or merger tips can be useful for achieving depth and control during retrieves. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the fishing zone, usually one to four feet deep, and recommends lines that sink at one to three inches per second. 15:27 - Landon typically uses fluorocarbon leaders ranging from three to five feet in length, tied directly to a micro swivel for freedom of motion and rotation. He also shares his preferred setups for fishing with indicators, including both traditional indicator setups and dry dropper rigs. Key Tactics for Shoreline Fishing 30:00 - Landon recommends focusing on three main elements when selecting fishing spots: Depth Control:  Identifying areas with changes in depth, such as drop-offs or shallow to deep transitions. Intercepting Points:  Targeting points of land or structures where fish are likely to swim around, providing closer access from shore. Structure: Pay attention to vegetation clumps, which serve as breeding grounds for insects and attract fish. By considering these factors, anglers can effectively locate fish-rich areas from shore. How Does Wind Affect Stillwater Fishing? Landon looks for access points where the wind is blowing into or away from the bay, as this can trigger fish movement and increase water temperature. Despite the challenges, Phil and Landon highlight the benefits of wind, including creating choppy water that attracts fish and providing opportunities for successful presentations. How Does Timing Affect Fishing Success? For hatches-driven fisheries, such as those focusing on mayflies and damselflies, mornings to early afternoons are prime times. On the other hand, for fisheries where fish feed on baitfish or crayfish, the first and last hours of the day are key, as these periods coincide with heightened feeding activity. What are the Top Flies for Shoreline Fishing? 50:35 - Landon provides a list of his top favorite flies: Leach Hare's Ear Epoxy Back Callibaetis Red Worm Chubby Chernobyl Egg Patterns Scud Flies Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/576B

We talk a lot about the various food preferred by the larger trout in a body of water—how to identify them and how to select flies and techniques to imitate them. As usual Landon is bursting with great ideas for you to try on your next fishing trip. In the Fly Box this week we cover the following questions: Tips for catching sheepshead on a fly Is my bonefish tackle OK for stripers on Long Island? A tip for practicing strip-setting that incorporates a willing cat When to use poly leaders Can I use and indicator when fishing small BWO dry flies? What are the advantages of using shanks over beading wire for tying articulated flies? A tip for carrying tippet rings on a snap swivel instead of a safety pin Is the Orvis Spey Line a Skagit line? How to fish streamers in tight quarters How to catch shallow water stripers in a Tennessee river at night Can I keep my fishing gear in a cold garage all winter? Will keeping my rods strung up hurt my leader? Which end of a surgeon’s knot should I use for the dropper, and should I take two or three turns? Should I get a starter rod or go right to the best rod I can afford?

In this week’s podcast, our guest is the very savvy guide and writer Landon Mayer from central Colorado. Landon is the author of four books on fly fishing, numerous magazine articles, and you may have caught one of his presentations at a fly-fishing show. He’s also a hard-working guide. Landon gives us his special tips for taking advantage of the high water of spring runoff—something most of us try to avoid but with Landon’s guidance you might welcome these conditions. In The Fly Box, we talk about casting practice, the use of two indicators, fishing for landlocked salmon in lakes, Woolly Buggers for steelhead, and a heartwarming story about catching a steelhead despite adverse conditions.
