Lots of rain means high water! Prepare accordingly and expect fishes in the shallows (STILL). Steve has never seen this behavior from fish and he cites changes in the water temperature for a potential reason why. Remember, with heavy rains that means there's more food to compete with for the attention of the fish. They also talk about the upcoming Game Fair and all the hunting openers, summer goes quick!
Send us a textIn Your Nature is back for a new season and this time we welcome Owen Murphy, Senior Project Manager with the Breeding Waders EIP, to discuss the ambitious and urgent work being done to conserve Ireland's most threatened ground-nesting birds. With populations of species like the Curlew, Lapwing, and Redshank in steep decline, the Breeding Waders EIP is taking bold, science-led action to reverse the trend.Ricky speaks with Owen about the formidable challenges of protecting vulnerable bird species in a modern agricultural landscape. A significant portion of their conversation focuses on predator control—an often controversial but essential tool in the conservation toolkit. They explore how targeted interventions are helping to reduce predation pressure on ground-nesting birds like the Curlew, enabling more chicks to fledge successfully. The discussion also delves into the cultural importance of retaining native species, with the Curlew symbolizing a deep connection to Ireland's natural heritage and rural identity. Ricky and Owen reflect on the difficult but necessary conversations around land use policy, acknowledging that meaningful change will require balancing ecological priorities with the realities faced by farmers and landowners. The conversation highlights the complexity of the task, the dedication of the team, and the hope that remains for these iconic species.The Oystercatcher is Bird of the Week, a striking black-and-white wader with a vivid orange bill, known for its loud piping calls and fondness for coastal and estuarine habitats.In Your Nature features Ricky Whelan, Biodiversity Officer with Offaly County Council, and Niall Hatch of BirdWatch Ireland, and is edited by Ann-Marie Kelly. The series is supported by Laois, Offaly, and Westmeath County Councils, the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Heritage Council.For more about BirdWatch Ireland, visit www.birdwatchireland.ie.

I get a lot of questions about wader care, storage, and washing instructions. Fit can also affect how long waders last and how comfortable they are. Waders are one of our most expensive purchases, outside of a rod and reel, and in order to make them last longer we need to take good care of them, so they stay waterproof and comfortable. My guest this week is Natalie Cullum [27:14], Orvis product developer in charge of waders and technical outerwear. She knows all about the fabric used in waders, the technology involved in their construction, and how critical fit is in their comfort and durability. If you are looking for a new pair of waders this season, or if you want to make your current pair of waders last longer, this podcast is essential listening. In the Fly Box this week, we have some interesting questions and tips form listeners, including: Is the Orvis Tippet Knot a suitable substitute for the blood knot? Do you think there is a chance that dry-fly purism will come back? Does a saltwater line cast worse in fresh water? Can you suggest a use for the fluffy material at the base of a Coq de Leon feather? Do you have any tips for dry flies in salt water? A listener suggests some kind of national organization to purchase public lands that are planned on being sold as part of the inflation reduction act. Will there be Orvis Pro Wading Boots in size 15? What is it that Tom brings on the water that most people might not have in their pack or vest? I keep catching landlocked salmon of the same size. Can you suggest a way to target the bigger ones?
Our destination is Part 2 with legendary Colorado guide, author, and trout teacher Pat Dorsey—owner of the Blue Quill Angler and perhaps the foremost expert on the South Platte.

Why does Pat love indicators? And what makes a fly truly innovative? You'll also hear stories of drift boat weddings, the origin of the Mercury Midge, and Pat's first-ever guide trip.

In this episode, host Christian Bacasa interviews Dallas Voss, a fly fishing guide from Kenai, Alaska. They discuss the unique fly fishing experience on the Kenai River, particularly targeting rainbow trout and understanding the pink salmon years. Dallas emphasizes the importance of protecting rainbow trout and utilizing the salmon runs for sustenance fishing. They also discuss the accessibility and flexibility of fishing on the Kenai River, as well as the variety of activities and time commitment on the Kenai Peninsula. Dallas shares insights into providing gear and equipment for fishing, as well as the process of taking salmon home. They also touch on the systematic timing of salmon runs and the flossing technique for sockeye salmon. In this conversation, Dallas Voss shares insights and tips for fishing in Alaska, specifically on the Kenai River. He discusses the flossing technique and how it can be effective in hooking fish. He also explains the importance of proper hook sets and how to handle fish that are hooked in different areas. Dallas highlights the nuisance of catching sockeye salmon while targeting rainbow trout and the challenges of dealing with their teeth. He also talks about the unique experience of encountering bears in Alaska and emphasizes the importance of giving them space. Lastly, Dallas discusses the significance of pink salmon years and how they provide abundant food sources for rainbow trout. Takeaways The Kenai River in Alaska offers a unique fly fishing experience, particularly for targeting rainbow trout and understanding the pink salmon years. Protecting rainbow trout and utilizing the salmon runs are important for sustaining the fishery and providing sustenance fishing opportunities. The Kenai River is accessible and flexible, allowing for day trips and a variety of activities for families and individuals. Gear and equipment are provided by guides, making it convenient for anglers to fish without bringing their own gear. The timing of salmon runs on the Kenai River varies, and each run offers different fishing opportunities. The flossing technique can be effective in hooking fish, but it's important to set the hook properly to avoid hooking fish in unintended areas. When targeting rainbow trout, it's common to encounter sockeye salmon, which can be a nuisance due to their abundance and teeth. Encountering bears in Alaska is a unique experience, but as long as you give them space and don't agitate them, they generally won't bother you. Pink salmon years provide abundant food sources for rainbow trout, making them larger and easier to target in specific areas. Understanding the natural cycles and behaviors of fish in Alaska can enhance the fishing experience and increase the chances of success.

Being careful and mindful while fly fishing is crucial to avoid accidents and injuries. Carrying a waiting staff, wearing a flotation device, and letting someone know your location are important safety measures. Consider the consequences of falling or getting hurt in different areas of the river before taking risks. Don't be too proud to ask for help or change your fishing approach if necessary. Andy's book, 'Down by the River,' is a great resource for introducing kids to fly fishing. Reel Recovery is a non-profit organization that provides fly fishing retreats for men recovering from cancer. Fly Fishing Insider Blog is taking off and I'm putting out tons of content weekly.

I think there's more things going on here that you're thinking about than that cast." "More is not always better... it's about really effectively and efficiently covering water." "You really gotta pay attention to maybe not what you want to fish, but what the fish want to do." "I'm probably taking one step between every cast. And then trying to do the same cast every time." "Sometimes they want it slow and really smooth. Sometimes they want it to bounce." "I always love a slow, slow lift and a drop. It's amazing how many times you're like, oh yeah, I did that, I did that. And then like the third lift, you're like, oh yeah, there goes one."
