Podcasts about South Fork

Ed Emory is a fishing guide on the South Fork of the Snake River in Idaho who guides out of South Fork Lodge. He has guided for 36 seasons and logged about 67,000 guided river miles, which he points out is roughly 2.8 times the circumference of the globe with clients in his boat. He is known for targeting and landing exceptionally large brown trout and for an analytical, psychology-driven approach to guiding and fighting big fish.How big was the brown trout Ed Emory's client caught on the South Fork? The fish measured 30.5 inches, with a girth Ed describes as about as big around as his thigh and a pectoral fin large enough to cover his client's entire hand. It is the largest brown trout he has landed on the South Fork since his 31.2-inch brown in 2011, and it cleared the 30-inch mark that Idaho recognizes for a catch-and-release state record. The fish was caught, measured, photographed, and released on film. Who caught the 30.5-inch brown trout? A client named Caroline Langdale, whom Ed describes as a petite angler from Georgia, on her first-ever day fishing the South Fork. She turkey hunts and had caught saltwater fish such as tarpon and redfish before, and Ed credits that saltwater experience for how she fought and landed the fish, keeping the rod bent at the right angle and sliding the fish sideways into the net rather than trying to lift it. What is Ed Emory's approach to fighting a big trout? Ed treats it like a prize fight. He throws a jab to test what the fish will do, reads its response, and refuses to accelerate the fight, letting the fish tire itself rather than forcing it. He stresses situational awareness, knowing the river bottom, the hazards, and the depth where the fish lives, and keeping big fish in the 10-to-15-foot water they are comfortable in rather than dragging them into deep holes. He says landing big fish is mostly between the ears. Why is the South Fork producing so many big fish this year? Ed's theory is that the population of smaller guardian fish is near a historic low, so a fly reaches the largest trout instead of being intercepted by the many smaller fish that would normally feed first. With fewer fish between the angler and the big ones, anglers are gaining access to trophy browns that usually sit concealed at depth, feeding on the easy food that drifts to them. What is the conservation debate on the South Fork of the Snake River? Idaho Fish and Game has worked to remove rainbow and hybrid trout, including by electroshocking, which was halted when funding ran out, to favor cutthroat. Ed argues the river is no longer a native cutthroat fishery but a wild, naturally reproducing one, since hatchery Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat have passed through the dam from Palisades Reservoir for decades. He favors cutthroat-centric management, such as placing egg boxes with Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat eggs in the river, and letting anglers decide what they keep.

A forest lookout sits alone in a glass tower at 2AM and spots flames crowning two distant pines — a fire only he can see. By dawn there's no smoke, no ash, no scorched earth... and no fire at all. From phantom flames that burn and vanish to the burned Bigfoot pulled from a Nevada blaze and the UFOs caught streaking through wildfire smoke, tonight we wander into the strange and unsettling things that appear when the forests burn.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/ghostflamesREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yjwtx7awFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: The author of Frankenstein always saw love and death as connected.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: March, 2021Weird Darkness opens a fire-themed descent that runs from a vanished forest blaze in 1976 Idaho through ghosts, Bigfoot, and UFOs born of wildfires, into Mary Shelley's graveyard education, a gentle apartment haunting, and an unsolved 1886 Boston murder.It opens with a U.S. Forest Service lookout stationed atop Pilot Peak in the Payette National Forest near Warren, high above the South Fork of the Salmon River, who woke sleepless at two a.m. in July 1976 and saw a bright orange triangle near a distant crest, then confirmed through binoculars two huge trees crowning out with flame. He calculated an azimuth with his fire-finder, radioed a two- to four-acre fire to the station fifteen air miles away, and watched it recede and vanish completely within forty minutes, leaving no smoke, no flame, and no charred ground at dawn six air miles out. Supervisors dubbed it the Pilot Peak phantom fire and sent smokejumper aircraft and hotshot crews to circle the ridge for nearly a week without finding a trace, until two months later a thousand-acre blaze on Zena Creek burned in roughly the same location he had reported.From there the episode widens into wildfires laced with the paranormal, beginning with the Curve Fire that struck South Mount Hawkins in the San Gabriel Mountains of California's Angeles National Forest on September 1, 2002, traced to a brittle 1935 wooden lookout tower and rumored to follow a cult ritual, after which hikers reported eyeless animals with hardened flesh and tall shadow figures akin to the Dark Watchers. It moves to the Battle Mountain Complex Fire near Battle Mountain, Nevada on August 6, 1999, where a letter forwarded to the Bigfoot Field Research Organization and a later call to investigator Thom Powell described firefighters capturing a burned, roughly seven-and-a-half-foot creature with a strong equine odor and near-human features. It closes with a July 2014 wildfire at West Kelowna near Vancouver, Canada, where a Castanet news video appeared to show an object shooting from a cloud, and a 2017 sighting by Arthur Frenette in New Hampshire's White Mountains, who watched a ball of fire plunge into Kinsman Ridge ahead of an out-of-control blaze.Next the episode turns to Mary Shelley, who in her 1831 introduction to Frankenstein traced her writing to her literary parents, though her mother, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman author Mary Wollstonecraft, died of puerperal fever days after her birth when Dr. Poignand removed the placenta with unwashed hands. Raised partly at her mother's grave in the St. Pancras churchyard, where she read her mother's work and escaped a strained home after father William Godwin remarried, the teenage Mary met Percy Shelley through the household and, at sixteen, declared love and reportedly first had sex among the tombstones. That fusion of reading, death, and forbidden knowledge surfaces in Victor Frankenstein's graveyard study of decay and in Godwin's 1809 Essay on Sepulchres, which framed visiting the illustrious dead as a form of communion the daughter carried into her novel of a creature assembled from corpses.From there the tone softens with a benign haunting recounted by a woman named Cassie, who moved into a larger, better-kept apartment over Christmas 2018 and lived there three months before moving in with her boyfriend. The internet blinked off repeatedly, cell reception failed in parts of the unit, electrical sockets quit working, bulbs burned out fast, and the shower switched itself on while she was away at classes. One night around one a.m. she and her boyfriend both heard the pitter-patter of bare feet in the kitchen, yet she never felt threatened, and when she left she said goodbye to whatever shared the space with her.The episode closes with the Wash-House Murder, the July 1886 killing of a Chinese laundryman found stabbed fourteen times in his Shawmut Avenue laundry in Boston's South End, his braided queue cut off and the five hundred dollars he had saved for a return to China gone. The victim's name was never certain, printed variously as Bin Chong, Ding Chong, and Wong Kong, and the case drew the Boston Police into a Chinatown governed by rival companies named Moy, Ching, Lee, and Sing. Detectives questioned the violent Moy company leader Ah Moy Chong and brought in New York interpreter Warry S. Charles, but the murder was never solved, and Charles himself was convicted of first-degree murder in 1908 after importing hatchet-armed assassins as a tong leader, leaving four dead in Chinatown.

In a move that became official at a Section XI meeting a few weeks back, the high school football programs at Hampton Bays and Southampton will merge in 2026 to become one. Hampton Bays, which has recently seen a strong resurgence of the sport after taking two years off to rebuild, will be the host school, welcoming Southampton students who would like to play. Despite the two schools legendary rivalry for the Mayor's Cup, a tradition on the South Fork going back 40 years, this new combined team program is a sign of the times and represents an effort to save football for both communities. This week, the editors are joined by news reporter (and former sports editor) Cailin Riley and Hampton Bays Athletic Director John Foster to talk about the rivalry, the plan and the love for the tradition of high school football in challenging times.

#916 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/916  Presented by: Yellowstone Teton Territory - Visit Idaho   Fishing big bugs isn't just about throwing something large at the bank and hoping for an explosion. What really matters is precision, realism, and getting that fly exactly where it needs to be. In this episode, I sat down with Ken Burkholder to dig into the details that separate a decent drift from one that actually gets eaten. We get into fly design, fishing tight banks, and why small tweaks can make a big difference when fish are locked in. Ken brings decades of experience from the South Fork of the Snake, plus a deep background in fly design with Fulling Mill. This one covers everything from stoneflies to cicadas and a whole lot in between. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/916    

In March, Sag Harbor Mayor Tom Gardella found himself in hot water after leaving a transphobic comment on a video posted by an Instagram user in Texas with more than 22,000 followers. The post gained traction and became the focus of numerous news stories far beyond the South Fork. Though he apologized for the incident, more reports of concerning social media behavior soon surfaced, including from members of the Sag Harbor community. In response, the Village Board retained labor attorney Vince Toomey to investigate Gardella's behavior. Presented at a Village Board meeting on April 14, Toomey's report concluded that Gardella had violated both the social media policy and anti-harassment policy. Separately, Gardella was also called out for budgetary missteps, including assigning indiscriminate raises to staff and shifting accountability for his budget fi lings onto administrative staff. At the meeting, all four of Gardella's fellow board members formally requested his resignation. But Gardella was defiant and refused to step down. This week, the editors are joined by news reporter Cailin Riley to talk about the posts, the heated meeting and what might come next in this story.

Ice and Accountability: East End Municipalities Weigh OLA Proposal Organizacíon Latino Americana (OLA) of Eastern Long Island recently proposed a law that seeks accountability and transparency regarding federal immigration action. It was first introduced for consideration by OLA and director Minerva Perez in February to East End municipalities that have their own police departments. Written so that towns and villages can adapt it to suit their needs, the proposed law was drafted by former State Assemblyman (and current OLA board member) Fred Thiele. It encourages the establishment of protocols for local law enforcement in their interaction with federal agents as well as requirements for reporting ICE activity. In the two months since introducing the proposed law, South Fork municipalities have made varying degrees of progress on it. This week, the editors are joined by news reporters Jack Motz and Dan Stark to talk about which municipalities have moved forward in considering the law and which have raised questions as they seek to learn more about it.

Last week, Long Island Rail Road crews began installing new track sidings at the Southampton Village station, which local officials celebrated as a step toward improving limited train service on the South Fork. When completed, the project will accommodate the longer trains that LIRR runs in the summer months. While the MTA has not yet announced any plans for new scheduling, the hope is that additional sidings will allow for more frequent train service, not just for seasonal visitors but also for drivers who are currently stuck in highway traffic on their way to and from work. This week, the editors talk about the sidings project and how it might improve options for year-round commuters. They also float a bold idea that takes a page straight from New York City's congestion pricing program.

Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is Larry Brewer, Supervisor of the Bridge Design Engineering Group for Snohomish County Public Works. The agency is seeking a new home for the historic 1934 bridge that carries the Mountain Loop Highway across the South Fork of the Stillaguamish River just north of the community of Granite Falls. A new and larger bridge is planned for just downstream from the existing bridge, so the 1934 span will no longer be needed. According to a press release, the 1934 bridge is "336 feet long and 28 feet wide. The main span consists of a 160-foot-long riveted steel deck truss, utilizing a three-hinge arched Pratt truss. The truss is 20 feet wide with an overall rise in the arch of 35 feet." Snohomish County, the press release continues, "will donate the truss to any governmental, non-profit or responsible private entity for public or private use. Priority will be given to an interested party that maintain the features of the arched deck truss that give it historic integrity; provide a new location for the structure; assume legal and financial responsibility for the structure."

On January 26, as residents hunkered down in their warm homes to watch snow from a massive storm pile up outside, Sag Harbor's Marit Molin and several volunteers from Hamptons Community Outreach headed out into the elements. With temperatures well below freezing, the group trudged through the South Fork's wooded areas in search of the homeless who ride out winter in rudimentary shelters. The goal of Molin and her team is to encourage these individuals to accept help and a few nights shelter at motels paid for by her nonprofit. Similarly, at Maureen's Haven, an advocacy group with community partners across the East End that provide temporary shelter for these individuals in the coldest months of the year, executive director Dan O'Shea has seen great need for services this year. This week Arts & Living Editor Annette Hinkle and news reporter Cailin Riley are joined by Molin and O'Shea, who discuss the challenges of serving this population in light of both the current weather conditions and the political environment.

As costs rise, taxes increase and budgets are stretched, small school districts across the region face the daunting task of providing robust programming to their students with fewer resources. Compounding the challenges on the East End are decreases in state aid, overall falling student population numbers and unaffordable housing costs that are driving families from the area. This week, the editors discuss the pros and cons of school consolidation. With more than a dozen school districts on the South Fork, it's likely only a question of time before consolidation becomes a matter of survival.

In this week's episode I am joined by Dwight and Dwayne Anderson. This was a fun interview having twin brothers on and I can only imagine hunting with them is quite the adventure. We talk about the Foundation Stock and how they got started with that line of dogs and how they have tried to keep it going.

Send us a textA fortune that feels like a slap. That's the spark that sends Gary Ewing from hot-headed to clear-eyed, as Jock's will leaves him the interest on ten million and a lifetime of doubt to unravel. We follow him from Bobby's brick towers with baby Christopher to the fence line at Southfork, where the sight of Jock's car finally lets him trade inherited shame for chosen grief—and that shift changes everything. Meanwhile, Abby moves like a strategist who can do the math and read the room. JR barges into the luxury suite with that signature mix of charm and menace, admitting a truth only a brother would say out loud: Gary's anger, once focused, could be dangerous. The triangle becomes a hallway tableau when Val steps out for her book party and crosses paths with Abby just as Gary arrives. No fireworks, just a clean, human moment—Val turns away and chooses her dignity. Even JR's reveal that he owns her publisher doesn't rattle her; the tour, the posters, the line of readers all point to a new center of gravity she controls. Back on the cul-de-sac, ambition takes a different shape. Ciji's golden demo hits a label with empty pockets, a crisp reminder of how fragile the 80s music machine could be. And then there's Chip, the smooth-talking sugar baby who upgrades from Bess Riker's sofa to Lily Mae's heart with past-life patter, only to set his sights on Diana. We break down how cons work—mirroring desire, feeding fantasy, isolating targets—and why Mac's protective instincts spark fresh friction. It's messy, funny, and a little bit cruel, which is to say, perfectly Knots Landing. Come for the crossover intrigue, stay for the character pivots: Gary finding a cleaner story about himself, Val writing hers in ink, Abby and JR sharpening their edges, and a con man testing the cul-de-sac's defenses. If you enjoy smart character drama, vintage soap scheming, and big feelings with sharp analysis, hit play, follow the show, and share your take—whose move landed the hardest? And if this breakdown hit home, subscribe, rate, and leave a review so more listeners can find us.

Two of The Express News Group's most enduring newsroom fixtures decided that 2025 would be the year they finally stepped away from journalism. At the end of December, photo editor Dana Shaw and reporter Stephen J. Kotz officially filed their last stories. For more than three decades, Shaw was a constant presence at the region's most important moments — from protests and public meetings to wildfires and parades. And for over 30 years on the East End, Kotz — who also had stints as a news editor — chronicled the villages, towns, people and personalities of the South Fork with relentless curiosity and determination. This week, the editors sit down with Shaw and Kotz for a candid “exit interview,” filled with unforgettable anecdotes, hard-earned wisdom, and reflections on a lifetime spent chasing the story.

863 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/863 Presented by:  Yellowstone Teton Territory - Visit Idaho    If you're trying to figure out where you can find giant stoneflies in July, chase technical midge eaters in March, and explore private spring creeks, all while staying in a five-star lodge that's not priced like Jackson Hole, this episode shows you exactly where that place exists. Today we're heading into Swan Valley, right in the heart of one of the most epic fishing zones in the West, with John and Liz Douville, owners of River Retreat Lodge. We dig into how they ended up buying a lodge in the middle of COVID, why March might actually be one of the best fishing months of the year, and how this area quietly sits at the crossroads of the South Fork, spring creeks, big wildlife, and wide-open country.   Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/863

#855 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/855      Presented by: San Juan Rodworks, On DeMark Lodge, Four Wheel Campers Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors   If you've ever stood knee-deep in a Western river wondering whether a trout spey rod might change your whole approach, this conversation with Howard Cole will get your wheels turning. Howard's spent a lifetime shaping flies, shaping cast loops, and shaping anglers at JD High Country Outfitters — and he brings a river-smart perspective on everything from trout spey dry flies to yellow sally emergers. Trout spey tips show up often in this episode, and they sneak into almost every story he tells from the Snake to the South Fork. By the end of this episode, you'll probably be digging through your fly box looking for your own emerger patterns — or maybe even picking up a short spey rod for the next drift.

838 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/838 Presented by:  Yellowstone Teton Territory - Visit Idaho  Ever wonder what it's like to grow up where fly fishing isn't just a hobby — it's the family business? Today we're heading to Eastern Idaho, where the Berry family has spent over a century guiding anglers through the waters of the Teton, Henry's Fork, and South Fork of the Snake. Our guest, Brian Berry of Teton Valley Lodge, shares the incredible story of how his great-grandfather turned a handful of guided trips in 1919 into one of the oldest operating lodges in the West. Brian takes us deep into the history, craftsmanship, and conservation that have defined his family's life on the river — from wooden boats and stagecoach travelers to modern-day drift boats and the rebirth of wild trout in the Teton River.   Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/838

Head Football Coach Zach Anderson, a Galva alum, credits this turnaround to renewed community spirit, fresh athletes joining the team, and a culture shift toward hard work and determination. Shifting to 8-man football has brought new opportunities—and challenges centered around speed on the field. Coach Zach emphasizes that speed is a critical factor in the faster-paced, narrower eight-man format. He credits a culture shift and renewed energy for the team's growth, with more students eager to join next season. With a 5-4 record and a tough road matchup against South Fork this Saturday in Kincaid, the excitement is palpable across Galva. Players, coaches, and fans are hungry for more and eager to prove themselves on the big stage.

What happens when a retired battalion fire chief is driving through northern Idaho—and sees something in the river no man can explain? In this gripping episode of Bigfoot Society, we hear from Todd, a seasoned professional trained to write courtroom-level reports, who shares a firsthand sighting from I-90 near Kellogg, Idaho. A massive, dark figure walked effortlessly through the South Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River... and it wasn't alone. We also dive into chilling stories from East Texas, Pennsylvania, Utah, and North Carolina—where a Sasquatch carried a deer over its shoulder, mimicked elk calls, and even withstood a 60 mph vehicle strike. You'll hear from truckers, hunters, campers, and witnesses who know what they saw—and have nothing left to prove. This episode isn't about blurry photos.

Send us a textBright lights, sirens, and a glassy pool set the stage for a season opener that wastes no time: Kristen's body is found at Southfork, and the blame ricochets between JR and Cliff before the sun is up. I take you through the minute-by-minute chaos—the broken balcony, the bourbon, the finger-pointing—then pull the camera back to the moves that matter: strategy, custody, and reputation. We travel from Dallas to Abilene and onward to Southern Cross, where Sue Ellen plants her flag and draws a bold boundary around John Ross. The showdown on that sweeping, terracotta-topped ranch reframes the fight: this isn't only about love or law, it's about who gets to define “fit,” “safe,” and “home.” JR counters with a hard-nosed attorney and a character case; Sue Ellen counters with presence, purpose, and a new kind of power. Meanwhile, the DA revives a buried truth—Kristen's past confession to shooting JR—that stains every alibi and turns motive into a mirror. Along the edges, the episode digs into money and identity. Lucy and Mitch wrestle with class and pride, proving that affection can buckle under lifestyle. Donna and Ray spar over a $3 million decision and what “our money” actually means, testing trust without throwing love away. I also weave in choice behind-the-scenes lore—Dynasty's ratings ascendancy, network nights, and the surprising early-life connections among TV icons—that enrich how we read the stakes on screen .By the final beat, Dallas feels both bigger and tighter: a murder mystery, a custody conflict with teeth, and a family machine humming without two of its most familiar gears. If you love high-stakes melodrama with brains, you'll find plenty to savor here—glamour, grit, and just enough scandal to argue about all week. Hit play, subscribe for the next pull from the bag, and tell me: whose case are you buying—JR's leverage or Sue Ellen's line in the sand?

Send us a textFour colossal soap worlds. Four very different ways to bring heat. We dive into a season where Knots Landing leans into the quiet power of neighbors and consequences, Dallas turns a hospital room into a war room, Dynasty weaponizes wit and glamour, and Falcon Crest splits the deck, then wins both hands with action and adult ruthlessness. If you've ever wondered why some finales feel like true cliffhangers and others feel like revelations, this breakdown will change how you watch.We start on the cul-de-sac, where Lily Mae's nosy wisdom, Abby's precision, and Gary and Val's silence say more than any twist. Richard Avery's descent and unexpected accountability become the spine of a season that proves slow burn can sting. Then we head to Southfork, where JR orchestrates chaos from bed with a rotary phone and a devilish grin while Sue Ellen quietly levels up, Bobby shoulders duty, and Pam's thread wobbles. Timeline quirks around Jock's death pop up—but Dallas still crackles because legacy rivalry is the fuel.From there, it's shoulder pads and sharp tongues. Dynasty decides to be prettier, wittier, and proudly outrageous, letting Alexis, Adam, Dex, Kirby, and a returning Sammy Jo turn every room into a chessboard. Dominique steps in and widens the arena, proving style can be strategy. Finally, we pour a glass at Falcon Crest: explosions, hidden treasure, a mid-season pivot, and Angela back on her bully remind us why older power players make the best television. Richard embraces the dark, Chase inches toward necessary ruthlessness, and Maggie anchors the heart under the heat.By the end, we stack the villains—JR, Alexis, Abby, Angela—and ask you to crown the chaos champion. Ready to argue, rewatch, and relive the most iconic prime-time moves? Hit play, then tell us your pick and your biggest gasp moment of the season.

Amy and Emily Talk July on the South Fork by Northforker Presents On

The tenants of Quail Ridge — the two dozen studio and one-bedroom apartments spread over two buildings of a former motel along County Road 39 in Shinnecock Hills — typically pay less than $1,500 a month in rent, some considerably less. The apartments are not luxurious, and as former summer resort “efficiencies” they are not large. But they are fine, residents say, and they are affordable for employees of swimming pool and landscaping companies, delivery truck drivers or those living on a fixed Social Security income. That is about to change. Reporter Michael Wright joins the editors on the podcast to discuss the fate of Quail Ridge and the growing difficulty in finding affordable housing on the South Fork.

#731B Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/731B Presented By: Yellowstone Teton Territory   The West is home to some incredible bug hatches, but only a few can match the size and intensity of the great salmon fly hatch. Today, we're diving into the magic of this hatch with Justin Adams of the South Fork Lodge. We will talk about the Middle Fork, the Salmon River, and even the Grand Canyon. Find out how Justin puts a 90-degree bend in the leader to fish nymphs more effectively. Plus, he'll share the #1 thing he tells his clients and why fish on the South Fork have scuffed noses! Episode Chapters with Justin Adams on the South Fork Lodge 04:54 - Justin started as a part-time guide while working for the Forest Service for 10 years. It was around 2018 when he went all in and started guiding over 100 days a season.   Fishing the South Fork Justin says the South Fork is one of the best-known fisheries in the region. It holds a lot of fish per mile and can handle plenty of fishing pressure while still producing great days on the water. You can fish for cutthroat, brown trout, rainbows, and even hybrids called cutbows. Seasons & Timing Winter (December to February)   Fishing slows, but snowmobiling and skiing take over. Ice fishing is possible on nearby reservoirs. Spring (March to May)  High water from runoff, but big browns are on the move. Worm patterns and big nymphs work best. Summer (June to August)   The legendary Salmon Fly hatch happens around July 4th.  Dry flies dominate, with fish looking up for big bugs. Fall (Sept–Oct)   Low water levels make for easier wading. Brown trout start spawning, so target deep holes away from the beds. Most anglers visit in July, especially around the 4th, when the salmon flies hatch. Justin's Go-To Set-Up for the South Fork  13:13 - Justin swears by a simple but deadly setup, which is the double Pat's Rubber Legs or what they also call "two turds". He usually runs it under a mini bobber with a swivel setup, and if he needs more depth, he says he'll add a split shot.  Guides also swear by the Mic Drop, a simple olive-bodied fly with an orange collar. It looks like a zebra midge but could imitate just about anything. Sizes 16 to 20 work best, depending on the conditions.   https://youtu.be/QUK-if6brp0?si=CNuh5On4qwtoBGXQ Rods Justin swaps between 9 ft and 10 ft rods for nymphing. He uses the 10 ft rod (usually a 5-weight with a 6-weight line) for easier mending. Since they're mending all day, he says the extra length helps control the drift. It's all about keeping the fly line behind the indicator for a slow, natural presentation.   Leader Justin builds his leaders instead of using store-bought tapered ones. His setup uses a hinge system under the indicator, creating a 90-degree rig.   Why Fish on the South Fork Have Scuffed Noses During the salmon fly hatch, the trout on the South Fork get aggressive. They're actively picking them off the rocks instead of just waiting for bugs to land. Many fish end up with scuffed noses or even a bit of "road rash" from rubbing against the rocks while feeding.   The One Fly The One Fly is a fly fishing competition and fundraiser on the South Fork and Upper Snake River. Anglers get just one fly. If they lose it,  they're out. Bigger fish earn more points, so strategy matters. The event brings in top anglers from all over, but local guides lead the way. https://youtu.be/9ZxmTBHEqAs?si=04eovcZemagJD5h2 The Rainbros Tournament  Jimmy Kimmel and his crew fish every spring in their dry-fly-only competition. The rules are simple: Topwater fish are two points, subsurface is one, and a whitefish is a minus point. Michael Keaton, Jason Bateman, and Huey Lewis get in on it.   Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/731B
