Episode 72: Casting Tips.  We all need to work on casting whether we are tossing size 14 nymphs or half a deer and a full chicken.  We provide casting tips to aid you in being a better caster so you can get the fly where you need/want. At a minimum, we help you figure out what you are doing wrong.

Episode 69 - Building Fly Rods. Special guest in studio. Discussed Ross's experiences and techniques building a fly rod.  May be a new winter hobby.  
Episode 68 - Since there is not much fishing to be done in the current frozen tundra, reading seems a good way to advance your knowledge of the sport and become a better fisherman.  We discuss some of our favorite fly fishing books.  A lot of these books directly made us better fly fishermen.  Ross and I also tell the tale of the ghost lady deep in the woods of Pennsylvania on a fishing adventure.
Episode 67 - Favorite Trout Flies.  We discuss our favorite trout flies for the upcoming trout season as it's time to order or tie. Solid list for those getting in. Stories are included for those flies. We get slightly distracted by the recent "snowmageddon" or "snowpocalypse". We also have been distracted by auto upgrades and repairs, mainly repairs for stuff we broke doing upgrades.

Episode 60 - Intro to Ice Fishing. Not the same sport, but we find some overlap. Considering the cold weather and upcoming coming polar vortex, when the lakes, rivers, and creeks freeze, what do you do?  You can fly tie...or you can learn to fish the hard water.  You could do both (just saying).  Turns out if you can fly tie, you can tie your own custom jigs for ice fishing.  We cover the basics regarding safety, equipment, strategy, and tackle.  Discuss the weekend's PA opening day of deer (rifle; please bring back the Monday so we can have our unrecognized and unofficial state holiday back) and our failures to obtain fly tying materials.
Episode 59 - Bit of a train wreck due to the holiday season, plus lots of guests. Apologies.  Gift ideas for the fly fisher in your life.
