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.
