One of the most recognized tales in American folklore has Mississippi roots. The story has many names, including “The Delta Legend,” “The Deal with the Devil,” and “The Deal at the Crossroads,” among others. Yet each tells a similar story that centers on a midnight meeting between a frustrated guitarist and Satan himselfScholars disagree over the origins of the Crossroads myth. Some maintain that the story originated in Africa, with Satan representing an African trickster deity such as the Dahomean Legba or Yoruba Eshu. This interpretation places the tale in a broader cultural context and elevates the musician to spiritual status. Other folklorists argue that the tale possesses many Western elements and reflects slavery's impact on African American life. Regardless of its precise origins, the myth has become most associated with early twentieth-century bluesman Robert Johnson.But take the bluesman and the Mississippi Delta out of the story, and you're left with a familiar and repeating myth that has echoed throughout modern human history… drawing its closest western parallel to the German myth about Faust… who is a highly successful man yet is dissatisfied with his life, which leads him to make a pact with the Devil at a crossroads, exchanging his soul for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures. The Faust legend has been the basis for many literary, artistic, cinematic, and musical works that have recycled and reinterpreted the basic story through the ages. "Faust" and the adjective "Faustian" imply sacrificing spiritual values for power, knowledge, or material gain.  But if you take another step back, you can see that all these Faustian myths share similar structure with the Theophilus legend, recorded in the 13th century, in which a saintly figure makes a bargain with the keeper of the infernal world, but is rescued from paying his debt to society through the mercy of the Blessed Virgin… which itself can be traced back to Saint Theophilus the Penitent or Theophilus of Adana, who was a cleric in the sixth century Church and is said to have made a deal with the Devil to gain an ecclesiastical position.   His story is significant as it is one of the oldest popular stories of a pact with the devil and was an inspiration for the Thelphilus legend, which inspired Faust legend… which in turn may have inspired the crossroads myth of the Mississippi Delta and cemented the legacy of one Robert Johnson.Except… this explanation of western religion says nothing about the similarities existing for centuries within the previously mentioned myths stemming from African folklore... Could it be that 6th Century historians simply appropriated this piece of African cultural heritage?  It wouldn't be the first time… or perhaps we're digging too deep and the answer is something simpler… something more… sinister… the Devil is in the details… and perhaps we've been witness to the same story, the same Satan, playing the same con on unwitting men throughout all of recorded history… This is… The Man in the Black Suit… by Stephen King...INTRODUCTION AND NARRATION BY: Eric R Hill

Today we have a special edition of the Destination Angler Podcast on a very important issue affecting our cold-water fisheries – climate change.   Like many of you, over the past few years, I've been watching the news and hearing more and more about our climate.  No matter where you stand on man-made or natural, it's hard to ignore things seem to be warming up, especially this past summer, which was the hottest summer on record.    As I began to look into this I came across a report on the Impact of Global Warming on Trout in the Interior West that 50% of cutthroat trout habitat will be gone by 2080 if nothing is done. Can you imagine a world where half of our Cutthroat trout habitat is gone?    To help us better understand climate change, our guests are Helen Neville, Senior Scientist, and Sara Porterfield, Water Policy Associate with Trout Unlimited.  We debunk fact from fiction, the impact of our warming climate on our cold-water fisheries, and most importantly what we can do about it.  With Host, Steve Haigh Climate Change Resources: Ten Strategies for Climate Resilience in the Colorado River Basin The Yale Climate Communication page, which provides interactive maps that can be parsed in myriad ways to explore public perception of climate change based on their annuals surveys:  https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/visualizations-data/ycom-us/ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Working Group I report, Climate Change 2021: the Physical Science Basis, which was just released:  https://www.ipcc.ch/2021/08/09/ar6-wg1-20210809-pr/ TU National Leadership Climate Change Working Group website, which has recordings and slides of that overview talk I created for them:  https://www.tu.org/get-involved/volunteer-tacklebox/council-leader-resources/national-leadership-council/nlc-conservation-workgroups/climate-change-workgroup/ TU Climate Change take action page:  https://www.tu.org/climate/ Citizen's Climate Lobby, whose Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (H.R> 2307) TU is supporting among other national policies.  They have local chapters, national meetings, D.C. advocacy days, and sorts of resources that complement TU's work on the issue:  https://citizensclimatelobby.org/ TU's Western Water 101 (blog & podcast series)   Miller Creek blog (BDAs in burned area) Brad Udall doesn't have a website, but this post from John Fleck links to some good work he did with Brad Impact of Global Warming on Trout in the Interior West by the Natural Resources Defense Council and Montana TU Destination Angler: The Destination Angler Website and Show Notes:   http://destinationangler.libsyn.com/ Get updates and pictures of destinations covered on each podcast: @DestinationAnglerPodcast on Instagram and Facebook Join in the conversation with the @DestinationAnglerConnection group on Facebook: Comments & Suggestions:  host, Steve Haigh, email shaigh50@gmail.com Available on Apple, Spotify, or where ever you get your podcasts Recorded September 30, 2021.  Episode 50.

He was an American flautist living in London, studying at the Royal academy of music.  At only 20 years of age, he was intelligent, gifted, talented...a prodigy.  On the evening of June 24, 2009 he performed at the Academy in “London Soundscapes”...featuring the music of composers such as Joseph Hayden, George Frideric Handel, and Felix Mendelssohn.  But his flute wasn't the only thing he brought with him the evening of his performance.  He had with him a relatively large piece of luggage...a rolling suitcase that contained in it the accoutrements of a thief - gloves, a small flashlight, a pair of wire cutters, a glass cutting saw with a diamond blade.  After the concert, he retrieved the suitcase from his locker and put his plan in motion...making his way towards the Natural History Museum in the town of Tring.  This wasn't the first time he'd been there, but it would certainly be his last.  After months of reconnaissance - investigating, casing, scouting, scrutinizing, studying, evaluating, analyzing, planning - he was confident he would be able to make his way around walls, barbed wire, cameras and guards in order to get what he was there to pilfer...a collection of coveted relics of the past...many of which no longer existing anywhere in world...unique, rare, endangered, extinct...priceless and irreplaceable...all for a hobby that grew into an obsession...and a golden flute.The Feather Thief:  Beauty, Obsession, and the Natural History Heist of the Century by Kirk Wallace Johnsonhttps://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/01/books/review/kirk-wallace-johnson-feather-thief.htmlhttps://people.wku.edu/charles.smith/wallace/BIOG.htmhttps://www.nhm.ac.uk/our-science/collections/zoology-collections/bird-skin-collections/bird-skin-collection-wallace.htmlhttps://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/article/a-flautist--299-stuffed-birds--and-the-bizarre-crime-of-an-obsesIMPORTANT LINKS:Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/killaforniapodPayPal:  https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/killaforniapodMerchandise:  https://www.redbubble.com/people/killaforniapod/shop?asc=uWebsite:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.buzzsprout.com/Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1296620370450345/Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/killaforniadreamingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/killaforniadreamingpod/?hl=enTwitter:  https://twitter.com/killaforniapodEmail:  killaforniapod@gmail.com

Keep wild trout wild. Not all trout are created equal, and there are many differences in the trout we catch -- in their appearances and their behaviors. Wild trout, stocked trout, holdover trout, fingerlings and club fish are very much a different breed -- or at least they can seem that way.My friends join me for an honest discussion about the trout we pursue. All of us fish for every kind of trout on the list. And all of these trout hold value -- but not equally.We believe wild trout populations should be protected, wherever they are found. That starts by eliminating the stocking of hatchery trout over wild trout. And it continues by finding struggling wild trout populations and helping them -- strengthening their numbers by improving water quality and habitat. Neither government nor private organizations should be permitted to stock over established wild trout populations. Full stop.Why does a wild trout matter? Because it's real. Because it's adaptable. Because it holds the evolutionary genetics for surviving in its own river system. Because it is a strong, lasting creature. Because wild trout are (most often) more challenging to catch. Sometimes they're harder to find. Because they are survivors. Because they are a symbol of nature's persistence against human intervention. And a wild trout, in all its beauty, is . . . simply . . . wild.In this episode, we talk about each of the five kinds of trout that we catch, because this hierarchy holds up all across the country, not just here in Pennsylvania.Wild TroutFingerlingHoldoverStockieClub FishAll trout have value. And if you are having a great time catching trout, well, that's the point. Enjoy it. Get out there, fish hard and have fun.And yet, there's also nothing wrong with addressing this topic and understanding that there are major differences in the trout we catch. Stocked trout are often nothing like their wild counterparts. This is true.We discuss the following:The harm done by stocking over wild troutStocked trout habitsHow to tell the differenceThe important value of stocked fishHow club fish set up expectationsWe believe that wild trout, wherever they are found, should be kept wild and given a chance. It's important to recognize the exceptional value of wild trout and to understand the limited value of the stocked trout. We should not get them confused. By pushing for regulations that protect wild trout and enhance their habitat we can prepare a better future. By choosing to showcase wild fish over hatchery fakes we send a signal.Value the wild trout. Protect it. Catch it, and release it.  And yes, value the stocked trout for what it is. ResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | The Hierarchy of Trout In PennsylvaniaREAD: Troutbitten | Posted -- Club Fish -- 2065READ: Troutbitten | Why Wild Trout MatterREAD: Troutbitten | What Happened to Laurel Run?

My guest this week is Daniel Ritz [1:00:58], who recently completed the Master Caster level of the Western Native Trout Challenge. We talk about how he did it, what flies worked, and had a lot of discussion about what actually counts as a subspecies of trout. If you want to view his entire journey, it can be found at www.tu.org/magazine/author/daniel-ritz/ In the Fly Box this week, which was unusually long (either I talked too much or chose too many questions), we have these questions and tips: Why does my line get twisted when I try to shoot line? How do I know if the fly pattern I developed is really something new? What would you recommend for a wing material on bonefish flies? A question on exactly what hook shank measurements like 1X and 2X long mean, and what are they compared to? Does a 10-foot 5 weight Recon have a softer tip or a heftier butt section as compared to shorter rods? Is a 7-weight rod too light for pike fishing? How do fall leaves in the water affect fishing and what should I do? How do I get a non-weighted streamer deeper in the water column? My old floating fly line has a tip that is sinking. Is there any way of fixing this? Do brookies really drop down lower downstream in the fall after spawning? I fish a small high-altitude stream and only catch small trout. Do you think there could be larger trout there? What is a good step up from a cheapo fly-tying vise? How do you gauge your speed on how fast to move in a small stream? How do I catch the large trout in a small, clear stream with slow current? Is it ever appropriate not to tip a guide?

Night fishing is a mystery with no resolution. Every other aspect of fly fishing for trout has been written about, understood and expanded upon. Lifetimes of information are available at your fingertips — the lives of so many fishermen who've come before you. You can read the accounts of their discoveries, their failures, their new ideas and understandings.But the night fishing game? It's like a bare cupboard.There are very, very few people who've spent much time on the water at night. And there are even fewer anglers who've written or shared good information about fishing for trout after dark.Because there are so few practitioners of the night game, so few anglers willing (and able) to put in the hours and search for those answers, we find the same beliefs repeated time after time. The same advice. The same wives tales rerun again and again, because they sound like they make sense.The truth is, night fishing is hard. Consistency is elusive — maybe it's not even possible. But after years of experiencing that kind of failure, I found an answer. I discovered a fly and a handful of tactics that turned the hook-up ratio around. And I started landing far more trout by fishing what I've come to think of as a mouse emerger.In this podcast episode, my friends Josh and Trevor join me to discuss the mouse emerger concept.What is it? And why does a mouse emerger fool more trout than other approaches? Why do trout attack flies but refuse them so often at night?(Companion Troutbitten article for this podcast is found HERE) In this night fishing episode, we discuss the flies:— The Bad Mother— Lynch's White Bellied Mouse— The Pendragon— The Black Rogue— The Gypsy QueenAnd we dig into the tactics for fishing a mouse emerger style:— Locations— Retrieves— Angles— Speed— And the deadly Slow SlideSince 2014, I've published over 700 articles on Troutbitten.com. These are fishing stories, tips, tactics and commentary. But it all started with a tale about night fishing that I titled, One of These Days. Since then, I've written a forty-part, ongoing series about Night Fishing for Trout, and there's much more to be learned and discovered.

Join the Building PA Podcast to listen to Kevin Trout share his insights into the benefits a strong culture will have on your company.  Kevin joins us as a former owner and CEO of a medical supply company and current Vistage chair and facilitator for CEO groups.In the discussion, Trout emphasizes the importance of establishing a strong culture as part of the hiring, onboarding, and operations process.  Trout said the process of creating a strong culture begins when companies “think of their company values as nouns with the second step focuses on creating verbs to support the nouns.”  This two-step process defines the behaviors you expect and encourages team members to focus on action toward those behaviors.Listen in as Trout shares his four stages of growth.  Within these stages lies the secret to a strong and robust culture, which includes:• First gear – owner wears all the hats and begins acquiring clients• Second gear – employees are hired and all report to the owner.  Profits in this stage are high.• Third gear – owner begins investing in the company and hires professional managers.  Profits in this stage shrink due to additional employees.• Fourth gear – owner becomes the face of the company and profits grow exponentially as the company grows.

(0:00-26:00) Deadly sins of fly fishing , (26:00-finish) Kennebec Dams. 

In this week's podcast, my guest is David Brooks [43:45], executive director of Montana Trout Unlimited. With prevailing drought conditions in the western United Sates and increased demand from many users, from agriculture to municipalities to recreational angling, how can we balance the use of water? David explains the difference between the riparian doctrine used mostly in the eastern United Sates, and the prior appropriation doctrine used in western states, and explains how users have come together to apportion water for human use and for keeping enough water in rivers to support healthy trout populations. It's not easy and often contentious but it's a fascinating issue and there is hope that with wise use of water by all stakeholders we can support ranchers, farmers, cities, and healthy trout populations. In the Fly Box this week, we have some interesting questions and tips, including: A note from The Mayfly Project on cities where they're looking for volunteers to help mentor foster kids in fly fishing When I catch a fish and it jumps all over the pool, does that spook other fish? What is the best way to kill and prepare a trout for eating? How much distance do you gain from the double haul? What are the reasons for strip setting in salt water and not for trout? A tip on keeping your fly line from falling back inside the guides when making shorts casts on small streams A heartwarming thank-you note to Nick Lyons How can I keep my flies in the strike zone longer in fast-moving saltwater current? What is the best way to light a fly while it's in the vise? Why did people in a fly shop tell me that Euro nymphing is cheating? What is an appropriate amount to tip a guide, and is it the same from multiple days as it is for a single day? When the kokanee start running up into my trout stream the trout stop biting. Why? Which way would you lean for a dry-fly specific rod? My guide puts his thumb in the mouth of smallmouth bass to revive them. Is this effective and would it be valid for other species?

Feel the pressure to make sure your young adult goes to school, gets a good education and finds a lifelong career? Do they feel as passionate about that route? Because in reality, no matter what your child chooses to do whether it's college or starting a dog grooming business, life will still be there to teach them new things and help them continue to grow in the path that they choose. If they aren't as passionate about the mainstream route as you are stressed about it, is it worth pushing?Robert Trout, Director of The Experiential Healing Institute, went into college thinking it was the only route to take at the time. That route ended up leading him into experiencing depression in college and really not enjoying what he was doing with his life. After discovering a program called Outward Bound, Richard found a passion in wilderness therapy, eventually leading him to hike the Appalachian trail where he spent over 1000 days in the wilderness. That experience has still to this day been one of the most remarkable opportunities and has led him to everything he does today as an entrepreneur, wilderness guide, wilderness therapist, and father.On this episode of Success is Subjective, Robert joins Joanna to share his journey going from hating school and being miserable, to finishing out college strong in something he absolutely loves. The wide range of experience that Robert has built over the years is amazing to hear about and even more amazing to hear how he uses it to help young adults and their families. Listen in for Robert's insight on the concept that life is school and how he encourages parents of young adults to explore that idea together.What You Will LearnGrowing up with no other discussions besides the idea of collegeThe stigma that Robert experienced around special ED in elementary schoolFinding an extra curricular that you find exciting while in collegeDealing with depression in collegeRobert's experience with Outward Bound When Robert decided to go to school to work in wilderness therapyHow Robert managed get full credit while doing the Appalachian trailHow the Appalachian trail led Robert open up opportunities for himWhen Robert became fed up and decided to start his own business where he trains parentsRobert's advice to parents on how to encourage their young adultConnect with Robert TroutThe Experiential Healing InstituteEmail roberttrout@theehi.orgParent TrainersResourcesMontessori Education Connect with Joanna Lilley  Lilley ConsultingLilley Consulting on Instagram Lilley Consulting on Facebook Success is Subjective on Apple PodcastSuccess is Subjective on SpotifySponsored by: College Parent Survival NetworkEmail joanna@lilleyconsulting.com

Jon Hill is a writer, angler, and rodbuilder. He also appeared in episode 58 on building your own fly rod. This is a much more casual conversation that we recorded immediately afterward. In this one, we cracked a few beers and chatted about some of the trips we've taken over the years, the allure of rare fish in hard-to-reach areas, the ethics of asking people for their fishing spots, and the reward of working hard to find fish.   Instagram: @yellowfinrods Website: www.yellowfinrods.com

In this week's In The Current, we look toward the end of the 5th season but we're excited about the next one coming.  We get an update from Brad, Will, & Steve about the Rocking The Knob race and Ryan tells us about a recent float trip on the Susky.

Host J.D. Reager presents the first of a three-part series of episodes recorded live at Gonerfest 18 in Memphis, TN. This installment features lively conversations with Alicja Trout (Lost Sounds, River City Tanlines, Sweet Knives, Alicja-Pop, Sharkteef), Mike McCarthy (Guerrilla Monster Films, Time Warp Drive-In, Teenage Tupelo), Graham Burks (Loose Opinions) and Jared McStay (Shangri-La Records, The Simpletones, So Gung Ho).

Is Saquon Barkley good? A debate. Comparing him against the likes of Cook and Mixon. Do you pay RBs? Peyton and Eli is a great way to watch MNF. What will the future of sports broadcasts look like? Vikes beat Seahawks, look to keep it going against the Browns. Falcons beat the Giants and look to keep it going against Washington. Bengals host the winless Jaguars on Thursday after a divisional win in Pittsburgh. An update on the Gersson Rosas scandal. Shohei Ohtani is not human, and he is being tragically wasted by the Angels, not unlike Trout.

For a team that's not going to be in the playoffs this season, the Los Angeles Angels are certainly making headlines! Jon and Mike discuss Joe Maddon's unfiltered comments about the state of the team and who these are pointed toward: owner Arte Moreno, GM Perry Minasian, the team, or the fans? (4:24) Perry did respond to these comments and hinted at what his plans may be as the Halos move into the off-season. (13:53) While Angels Play-By-Play announcer Matt Vasgersian jumped on Buster Olney's podcast, he mentioned Trout and other high-profile players lobbying for ownership to bring in big-time players like Max Scherzer. (22:32) This caused the Halo Bros. to ask the question; could Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani influence this team and use their drawing power to attract top talent to Anaheim? (25:06) Then, panic set in over the weekend during Shohei's postgame conference, where his ominous words lead us to ask, "Shohei Stay Or Shohei Go?" (33:27) Should Angels fans panic, and will this light a fire under ownership to make winning moves over the winter? (38:16) Jon asks non-Angel and Blue Jays fans to share their thoughts about the AL MVP race between Ohtani and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (46:15) Mike shares some interesting statistics about our beloved team, (49:48), and we take a look at the Play-By-Play Announcer Standings!

He was an American flautist living in London, studying at the Royal academy of music.  At only 20 years of age, he was intelligent, gifted, talented...a prodigy.  On the evening of June 24, 2009 he performed at the Academy in “London Soundscapes”...featuring the music of composers such as Joseph Hayden, George Frideric Handel, and Felix Mendelssohn.  But his flute wasn't the only thing he brought with him the evening of his performance.  He had with him a relatively large piece of luggage...a rolling suitcase that contained in it the accoutrements of a thief - gloves, a small flashlight, a pair of wire cutters, a glass cutting saw with a diamond blade.  After the concert, he retrieved the suitcase from his locker and put his plan in motion...making his way towards the Natural History Museum in the town of Tring.  This wasn't the first time he'd been there, but it would certainly be his last.  After months of reconnaissance - investigating, casing, scouting, scrutinizing, studying, evaluating, analyzing, planning - he was confident he would be able to make his way around walls, barbed wire, cameras and guards in order to get what he was there to pilfer...a collection of coveted relics of the past...many of which no longer existing anywhere in world...unique, rare, endangered, extinct...priceless and irreplaceable...all for a hobby that grew into an obsession...and a golden flute.The Feather Thief:  Beauty, Obsession, and the Natural History Heist of the Century by Kirk Wallace Johnsonhttps://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/01/books/review/kirk-wallace-johnson-feather-thief.htmlhttps://people.wku.edu/charles.smith/wallace/BIOG.htmhttps://www.nhm.ac.uk/our-science/collections/zoology-collections/bird-skin-collections/bird-skin-collection-wallace.htmlhttps://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/article/a-flautist--299-stuffed-birds--and-the-bizarre-crime-of-an-obsesIMPORTANT LINKS:Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/killaforniapodPayPal:  https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/killaforniapodMerchandise:  https://www.redbubble.com/people/killaforniapod/shop?asc=uWebsite:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.buzzsprout.com/Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1296620370450345/Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/killaforniadreamingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/killaforniadreamingpod/?hl=enTwitter:  https://twitter.com/killaforniapodEmail:  killaforniapod@gmail.com

Fish cold water, fight 'em fast, handle gently, release quickly. In this second edition of the Troutbitten podcast, my friends Bill, Austin, Trevor and Josh join me to discuss safe catch and release practices, from hooking a trout to letting it go. Because if the goal of catch and release is to put a trout back and catch it again, then we want to ensure that the health of the fish remains intact.Some of the catch and release best practices might seem like common sense. But the truth is, handling a trout without harming it isn't necessarily intuitive. It takes some forethought and preparation. You need the right tools — the right skills. And it takes a good understanding of how trout are built — how they are a little more sensitive than other species. It helps to understand the trout and learn its habits, if you plan to release the fish without harming it.There's a lot of nuance in topics like this. And we cover the details around these key principles: Fish cold water, fight 'em fast, handle gently, release quickly.At every level of experience, we're always learning and trying to improve or share ideas about the fish we chase. The Troutbitten guys joining me are full of ideas, and they share some great thoughts about how to handle a trout.Lastly, we discuss how experience is the only teacher. We acknowledge that mistakes inevitably happen. We've all killed trout accidentally, and it's part of the learning process. But education is the best preparation for releasing a trout safely. And hopefully, it's podcasts and shared information, like this, that gives fly anglers the confidence to go fishing and enjoy their time on the water.Here are a few key supporting articles from Troutbitten:READ: Troutbitten | How to Hold a TroutREAD: Troutbitten | Their Heart in Your HandsREAD: Troutbitten | Are We Taking the Safety of Trout Too Far?READ: Troutbitten | If You Have to Revive a Trout, It's Probably Too LateREAD: Troutbitten | Category | Fighting FishVisit:Troutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten Facebook

About this Episode Co-host Anders Halverson talks with Dr. Kevin Rogers about efforts to save the Greenback Cutthroat Trout on Colorado's Eastern Slope. Think of it as story the producers of CSI Miami would write, if they were fortunate enough to be fisheries biologists. There's extinction (or maybe not?). There's resurrection (twice!). Just when you think you have it figured out, another clue from a dusty library or a PCR machine sends you off in an entirely different direction. And of course, it ends on a cliffhanger. About Kevin Rogers, Ph.D. Dr. Rogers has a pair of undergraduate degrees from University of Colorado, Boulder as well as a Masters and Ph.D. in Fisheries Science from Colorado State University in Fort Collins.  He has worked for Colorado Parks and Wildlife for the last 26 years, spending the last 18 as the state's native cutthroat trout research scientist.  His research efforts cover all aspects of cutthroat trout conservation and management, but have recently focused on resolving the convoluted taxonomy of our native trout. Dr. Rogers can be reached at kevin.rogers@state.co.us. You can find out more about his research at the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Cutthroat Trout website.

[This episode was originally posted in April of 2018] This week I have a chat with Amelia Jensen, perhaps the best trout-spotter I have ever seen. I have always thought I was pretty god at seeing trout in the water, but Amelia can see fish I would never have spotted. Learn some of her secrets in this week's podcast—you'll be surprised at how often you can spot trout if you know what you're looking for, even in fast, deep, or slightly off-colored water. In the Fly Box this week we have the following tips and questions: · A tip from a listener on how to carry long pre-rigged fly assemblies · A question about what fly to fish along with a streamer when swinging for spring trout · A question on tips for spotting bonefish · How should I fish the tails of pools? · A listener tip on how to keep your hands warm when fishing · Flashy vs. non-flashy nymphs and where to put them in your nymph rig · A question about why fish get picky after catching a bunch of them from the same run · Why do trout take dry flies when I don't see any rising? · Tips for avoiding spawning rainbow redds

In this week's In The Current, we kick things off with updates from Will & Brad on their big race coming up.  Brad's getting ready for Archery Season & Pik's been fishing.  But then Bucky takes over to fill us in on the amazing trip he took to Florida, which included an unexpected fishing charter.  Check it out!!  Instagram: @rutandriverpursuits For more In The Currents go to https://rutandriverpursuits.com/
