Summary

This week, the main event is a fascinating podcast with Tom Bie, editor and publisher (and founder) of The Drake Magazine, an unconventional, edgy fly fishing publication that addresses the new, media-related fly fishing culture. Tom talks about his favorite fish, the steelhead, and about his passion for swinging flies, East vs. West, hatchery vs. wild steelhead, using Spey rods, and lots on the philosophy of the best swing speed for steelhead. We also touch on steelhead flies, and the future of fly fishing in general. It’s a great interview and a little more cerebral than we usually get on the podcast.

Also in this week’s Fly Box, we circle back to fly tying materials to get a little more clarity on thread sizes and types of elk hair. I answer questions on fighting big trout in confined quarters, what to do if a big trout sulks, the difference between a creek, brook, and river; the characteristics of spring creeks, tailwaters, chalk streams, and freestone streams; sight fishing to trout in shallow water without indicators, and just why a Zebra midge with a pink body sometimes out-fishes one with the standard black-and-white body.

0:28.9	a happy Thanksgiving because you'll probably be listening to this just before
0:33.1	Thanksgiving. And first order of business I want to thank everybody for your
0:39.2	wonderful comments last week. There were some incredibly thoughtful, funny, insightful, flattering,
0:49.2	some of them, comments that you posted on the blog and had a couple winners.
0:57.0	One winner was chosen by me, the one that just kind of tickled my fancy the most and the other one was drawn at random
1:07.4	and so we'll do that kind of contest and if you by the way if you haven't
1:11.8	been contacted by me yet you didn't win sorry. So it was

1:31.7	They were still, even though I bribed you, there were some very, very thoughtful comments there. So, thank you, thank you very much. And one of the comments I took to heart, I didn't win, but one of the comments said that took me to task for not preparing some of these podcasts as well as I could have and also for Hemming and Howing.
1:56.6	So I don't know what I can do about the Hemming and Howing because that's a way I talk and think.
2:07.2	So you're going to have to live with that, but I can be better prepared for the podcast and I usually
2:12.0	do take notes and outline it but the
