I take guilty pleasure in hearing horror stories from guides about their worst clients or other crazy things that happen on the river. Orvis-Endorsed Guide of the Year for 2019 Chip Swanson [41:00 ] is a great storyteller and has had some wild and funny incidents on the river over the years. I think everyone will enjoy these stories but just a warning—although not R-rated, some of his stories mention sensitive body parts so if your kids listen to podcasts with you, you may want to preview them first. Nothing very raunchy but you have been warned! Rated PG-13.
In the Fly Box this week, we have some great questions and tips including:
- I fish a lake that is stocked with rainbows and has a small tributary stream. Do you think the rainbows will run up into it?
- Do you have any tips for being stealthy on a trout stream other than not stepping right into the water?
- Can I use a sinking Salmon Poly Leader for trout?
- When do you extend the butt section of your leader?
- I am using a switch rod for distance in warm water fishing and have tried all kinds of lines but am not happy with my casting. Do you have any tips?
- Any tips or tricks on how to travel; with waders and wading boots? I am concerned with my wet wading boots.
- Can trout smell us and should I worry about it?
- Do Zero-weight fly rods exist and what are they used for?
- A tip from a listener about learning to cast at all angles to your body without moving your feet.
- I fished a cold Colorado tailwater in the morning and a local angler told me I was on the water too early. Why?
- All the hoppers I see have green, brown, or black wings. So why do we put white wings on many of our hopper patterns?
