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 at streamside. It’s a good topic for a refresher as fishing season is upon us in most places—or almost upon us!
