This week in the fly box we discuss:
• How stocking affects wild trout
• Sinking lines
• Casting exercises
• Gripping a fly rod
• Tangles after dark
• Tom’s 5 favorite places to fish and the top 5 on his bucket list
In the main podcast, we do an extensive discussion of leaders—leader types, materials, and how to modify your leader streamside. It’s a good topic for a refresher as fishing season is upon us in most places!
Here is the leader formula:
28″ .021
14″ .019
12″ .017
10″ .015
6″ .013
6″ .011
6″ .009
6″ .007
20″ .006
Although as I mention in the podcast, most of us will want a longer tippet than 20″ unless you are fishing stillwater or if it is windy.
