Episode 70 - Common Beginner Mistakes. In preparation of trout season and as most begin their fly fishing journey trout fishing, we discuss the most common beginner mistakes in fly fishing. To be fair, even we still make some of these mistakes.
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 66 - Scouting New Waters. Trial run of video podcast is a fail. Equipment issues abound. Discuss how to scout new waters both near and far. Real world examples and mishaps included.
Episode 65 - Basic Streamer Tactics. We discuss the basics of what, where, when, and why regarding streamers. Further information on the kayak cheater. Jim discusses the development of robin flies. Snake stories galore.
Episode 64 - Being Productive in the Offseason. What can you do to advance your fishing in the offseason? Boy, do we have answers for you! Check your gear. Learn stuff. Don't suck.
Episode 63 - Big Jim returns. Discuss the holiday break. New gifts and gear. New Year's fishing resolutions and planned trips.
Episode 62 - Adventures on Ice. Discuss the Amish and hunting. Weekend adventures in ice fishing. Ice fishing strategy.
Episode 61 - Intro to Fly Tying. Discuss the basics such as tools, materials, etc. Get into the weeds a little bit regarding fly tying tools, materials, and techniques. Deeper to come in the future. Discuss the modern fear of the dark and adventures in the quest for fly tying materials.
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.
Episode 58 - How musky perceive their world. Discuss fly selection and how they may be perceived by the fish. Ross goes all scientific regarding musky vision. New fly tying materials acquired over the weekend.
Episode 57 - How to Raft. We discuss raft set up and how to fish from a raft. Gear and pointers provided. New bourbon tasting. Disucss the weekend's fishing, and why Matt's never fishing with Ross again. Archer is apparently a scuba diver. Also, case study in musky fly fishing provided for consideration.
Episode 56 - Steelhead season. Guest star Jim Kearney. Discuss the basics of steelhead fishing. Cover gear, lines, flies, etc. Prepare you for the worst shoulder to shoulder fishing and spinfishermen. Discuss the week's adventures.

Episode 54 - Semi-auto fly reels are a thing. Learned things from the new guy. Apparently, need to dive deeper into the fly box and buy some new flies. The greatest musky fishing day (ever without catching a fish). Ross's missed fish from the Beast eludes another. Archer wants a jet boat.
Episode 53 - Beast of the East. Minor tragedy and heart break. Tricked by pike. Monster bass caught. Finding muskies scouting, but unable to find them in the tourney. Saw the largest musky of our life to no avail. Broken equipment and hearts.
