Welcome to the Orvis Fly Fishing Guide Podcast with Tom Rosenbauer, bringing you tips, tricks and techniques to help you get the most from your time on the water.

Here's acclaimed fly fishing author and lifelong fly fishing

enthusiast Tom Rosenbauer.

Hi and welcome to the Orvis Fly Fishing Guide podcast. This is Tom Rosenbauer and I'm just

back from a wonderful trip to East Tennessee, which I'll talk about in a minute.

But Phil Monaghan is here to tell us about what's going on this week on the Orvis blog at Orvis News.com.

Hey Tom, I enjoyed sitting in your chair this week for a brief interview we did with the folks

at American Rivers who released their 10 most

endangered rivers list so there's some cool information and that for folks who want

to listen. In other stuff on the blog, we kicked off the week with some cool pictures from our recent

kids Derby at the Manchester flagship store.

They get some really huge fish in that pond and about every couple

of years they decide to get out the real big ones to leave some room for the others and

they invite local kids to come and have a shot at it.

And the pictures are really great to see the kids fishing,

but they may make you jealous to see, say,

a six-year-old kid holding a trout bigger than anyone you've ever caught in your life.

This week's also really heavy on tips.

We've got a lot of cool stuff. Tim Linahan, a guide in Troy, Montana, offers some really good

advice for anyone who's fishing from a drift boat. He explains what he calls his 45 and 90 degree rule for how you

should, how you can get the most out of a drift boat trip, where you should be casting

and where you should be looking. Another great one is about how to find less pressured water.
