Podcasts about salmonfly

  There's no doubt that casting a size 6 weighted streamer is more difficult than a size 14 Parachute Adams. The physics are different, no way around it. But casting guru Pete Kutzer [37:17] has some tricks that he shares to make casting big streamers, nymph rigs, and poppers easier by adjusting your casting motions. This is a frequent question on the Fly Box so I figured there was a need for an entire podcast on the subject.   In the Fly Box this week, surprisingly I did not have any questions on casting big flies. But I did have these tips and questions:  I have been looking for brown trout redds on my favorite wild trout stream but have not seen any.  When and where do they spawn? Does it make sense to look at my dry flies from underneath, getting the same view as the fish?  I have discovered a way of projecting my flies on the ceiling to look at them. My fly line lands OK, but my leader and fly curl off to one side and don't go where I want them to.  What am I doing wrong? Why do trout in my river prefer Golden Stonefly nymphs over the bigger Salmonfly patterns? How do I know where to place studs on my Orvis felt-soled wading boots? I fish dry droppers on small streams, but in really shallow streams my nymph keeps snagging on the bottom.  Do you still fish dry /dropper on very shallow streams? What is a good foreign language to learn if you travel to fish internationally? Do trout in cold tailwaters migrate closer to the dam in summer? I fish a trout stream where the channel was recently put back into an old stream bed.  How long will it take for insects and crayfish to repopulate this area? I kept missing strikes on a weedless Sneaky Pete.  Do you think it was the weed guard, or was it just bluegills pecking at my fly? How do people get their car to the take-out when fishing from a raft?

Each year in late May and early June, trout feast and anglers flock to waterways for the giant salmonfly hatch, when the ecologically vital bugs emerge from streams as nymphs and hatch out of the water into winged adults before reproducing and dying, leaving behind only the "shucks" they emerged from clinging to brush on the shoreline. Growing up to 3 inches long, adult giant salmonflies are the largest of the stonefly family. They are so substantial that osprey, which generally consume fish, have been observed snatching up airborne salmonflies.  On this week's episode, Joshua Murdock, outdoors reporter for the Missoulian talks about giant salmonfly populations declining in some streams across the West and how researchers at University of Montana are trying to understand what factors affect a bug that is essential to trout and the economies of fishing towns.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Peter Scorzetti connects with Aaron Freed about how to take a focused approach to fishing the salmonfly hatch in Yellowstone country. Aaron offers valuable insight that he's gathered while fishing the hatch over the past decade.

Salmonflies are the kings of their species, the largest of the stoneflies. Every May these magnificent bugs emerge from the Deschutes, Rogue and Klamath rivers to breed a new generation of bugs, and fly anglers are there to take advantage of the resulting feast for trout and steelhead. This week we talk to ODFW fishing ambassadors Chris Clogston and Luis Alvarado about their passion for the salmonfly hatch, tying big "ugly bugs" as they call them and why May is one of their favorite times of the year to find the big trout on some of Oregon's most iconic rivers. 

Josh Mills is a passionate steelhead angler, fly tier, hunter, and most recently he has become a fundraiser for charity. We check in with Josh at his home in Spokane, Washington. In this episode we'll hear about issues with Washington steelhead, what to do with  shad in the PNW, man eating stoneflies, and some nicknames for Spokane.  Mills Fly and Brian Chou Instagram This episode is brought to you by Korkers and produced by Freestone Productions Wild Steelhead Coalition  Yellow Dog Community and Conservation Foundation (YDCCF) Bert Kreischer: The Undergraduate Rob's Shad Flies For Sale  Rob's Instagram

This week we’re talking about a spectacle of nature that happens every year in the Rockies in June—the salmonfly hatch. This is a giant stonefly that excites big trout and fly fishers—but it’s difficult to plan for and not as easy to fish as you might imagine. John Way of The Tackle Shop in Ennis, the oldest fly shop in Montana, gives his tips on the life cycle of this giant stonefly, how to fish the hatch, and how to avoid some of the inevitable drift boat traffic the hatch attracts. If you are planning a trip to the Rockies soon this is one you won’t want to miss. In the Fly Box this week, we have these questions and comments: How do I catch the big trout I see on Instagram? I never see them myself when I am on the river. How long before stocked trout tune into feeding on natural foods? If I accidentally kill a fish in a catch and release section, should I try to keep it to eat or just let it die? Is there an advantage to tying my second nymph to the eye of the first fly? When should I do this? When is a drop-shot rig better than conventional weight on the leader? Should I get a 5-weight or 6-weight rod for fishing indicator rigs on a windy lake? What fly materials are fairly universal and can for used for a variety of patterns? Why did I see some big trout in a tributary to a larger trout stream? A special tutorial on how to open a pair of forceps (you won’t want to miss this one!) How do we get younger people involved in organizations like Trout Unlimited?

Heidi Anderson, a graduate student in the Department of Ecology at Montana State University, discusses her passion for science, women in science, and salmonfly conservation.

Jay Dixon of Dixon Adventures has clients on the boat and they are planning a 20 mile day on the Blackfoot. It’s the 3rd week of June during a Salmonfly hatch. With about an hour of daylight remaining, he sees a woman in distress on the rock scree above the river. With the help of Search & Rescue, Jay saves the woman’s life in a dramatic ordeal. Listen to Jay’s story, which we call – “Blackfoot River Rescue”. Jay Dixonhas a college degree in environmental geology with an emphasis in groundwater and fisheries from the University of Montana.  He has been fly fishing since the age of 6 and started tying flies soon after.  Jay Dixon owns and operates Dixon Adventures along with his wife and partner in crime, Deb. They live in an off-the-grid solar home they built together in the Sapphire mountains, overlooking the Bitterroot Valley, with their two boys, Jake and Zack.  Learn more about Jay and his work at  dixonadventures.com This episode of the Tell Us Something podcast was recorded in front of a live audience on September 10th, 2017, at The Wilma in Missoula, MT.  8 storytellers shared their story on the theme “Up the Blackfoot”.

Today on the show, we discuss our recent trip to the incredible Black Canyon of the Gunnison. This is a place where the backcountry can leave you longing for more and also seeking refuge at the same time. There are no words to truly describe its beauty, nor can any photo accurately show its grandeur. And oh yeah.... We hit the Salmonfly hatch. The dry fly action was AWESOME! This was the best fly fishing either of us have experienced.  Our minds are on whitetail deer, so it didn't take us long to get to checking game cameras. Tyler has video of three big mature bucks that have us PUMPED for the season to get here! Our hit list is coming together quickly. We also talk about K.C.'s new trail running/hiking boots that he hopes will help him seal the deal on another big bull elk this fall.    Links:   Lickey PLC: https://youtu.be/xdng6NKGuIY   Black Canyon Blog Post: https://www.theelementwild.com/single-post/2017/07/06/Black-Canyon-Bliss   Gunnison River Fly Shop: http://www.gunnisonriverflyshop.com   Black Canyon National Park: https://www.nps.gov/blca/index.htm   Music by Tyler and the Tribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/TylerandtheTribe
