Not all of us are lucky enough to live within a few miles of a famous fly-fishing spot on the Madison, the Delaware, or in salt water. And even if you are a few hours from great fishing, you may not always have the time to make the trip. That’s why it’s a great idea to explore your home waters for whatever species they can offer to provide that bend in your fly rod. Here’s a full episode of “The Orvis Guide to Fly Fishing,” in which Tom Rosenbauer explores ideas about places you can fly fish that are close to your home. He details where to look and also discusses specific species that anglers should consider targeting. It pays to expand your horizons by looking right in front of you.

I always enjoy a Tom Rosenbauer presentation and this one does not disappoint. Great tips for every beginner fly fisher.
