Summary

[Interview starts at 41:18]

We could all use a little escapism these days, so why not listen to a podcast about adventures in the Amazon? Fly Fisherman Magazine editor and publisher Ross Purnell, in a pre-Covid recorded interview, will thrill you with his adventures with a fly rod in the Amazon, and you will be shocked at how he celebrated the trip. Few of us will be traveling to exotic locations this year, and many of us never will, but it is always enlightening to hear about what fishing is like in a different world.

In the Fly Box this week, we have some great questions and suggestions:

Further warnings on UV cure epoxy vapors
How do I keep my fly tying organized in a small apartment with a wife, dog, and cat?
Can I use steelhead swinging techniques for skating a caddis when trout fishing?
How do I learn Euro nymphing?
How can I find and catch bigger trout than the 12-inchers I usually catch?
Are there any advanced courses to improve my skills in fly fishing?
More tips from a fishing guide about how to improve a client's experience
Will a very hot car in Texas damage any of my fly-fishing gear?
I lose trout when they jump. What can I do to prevent this?
Why didn't you mention Strike Putty in your TV show on using indicators?
I caught a trout and got slime on my fly, then the fly didn't work afterward. Does slime on a fly scare off trout?

0:00.0	You're going to be. Hi and welcome to the Orvis Fly Fishing Podcast this is your host Tom Rosenbauer And today for the feature event I'm going to be playing an interview I did
0:28.5	with Ross Pernell, the editor and publisher of Life Fisherman magazine on Jungle Fishing in South America.
0:37.0	And it was recorded in free COVID times when people were planning on traveling. I know that a lot of us, it's going to be a while
0:46.2	before we can travel to any international destinations. So it's a good, but it's a great story and let's just consider this a little bit of
0:56.3	escapism in these times when we've got a lot of other things in our mind and we can
1:02.4	dream about going to some of these
1:04.6	exotic locations sometime in the future. But first let's try to answer some phone
1:11.0	calls from listeners in to take some suggestions.
1:14.4	And if you have a suggestion, complaint, criticism, whatever,
1:20.9	and you'd like me to read it or hear it.
1:25.6	You can leave a message at podcast at Orvis.com
1:31.7	and you can either put your question or message in the body of an email or you can enclose a voice file and maybe I'll read it in the air.
1:42.0	Hey Tom, this is Jeff calling from Kentucky and I had a question for you about playing fish when they jump.
1:51.0	Occasionally I've lost some of these fish when they jump in the air and I was just thinking about whether I can do
1:59.6	anything different in the future to try to make sure that doesn't happen. I feel like maybe I've
2:05.8	had less tension on them when they jump in the air and so maybe if the fly
2:11.0	hasn't seated deep in their jaw it sort of has a hinge effect and maybe it loosens up when they when they shake their jaw when they're up in the air
2:18.5	But then on the opposite side of the spectrum if you're putting too much tension on the rod and on the line to the fish,
2:26.3	is that going to increase your chances of breaking them off?
2:30.5	So I didn't know if you had any advice on that if there's sort of a perfect medium between those two things or what
2:37.9	A video I saw once of a fly fisherman who looked like he knew what he was doing was playing a fish who was
2:44.4	jumping multiple times and he was sort of mirror his rod with the fish so as it
