Summary

This week I have an interview with Captain Jason Sullivan, who fishes out of Flamingo in south Florida and covers both the southern Everglades and Florida Bay. We talk a lot about tarpon, but also redfish, snook, sea trout, cobia, and even tripletail. On the second part of the interview we talk about the longstanding ecological problems in south Florida, caused by man-made diversion of fresh water from the Everglades and Florida Bay and the over-abundance of human-directed fresh water on places on both the Atlantic Coast and Gulf Coasts. It’s a hot topic these days because of the high water conditions in Lake Okeechobee that are creating even more flows of polluted fresh water than usual. The Everglades belong to all of us, and anyone who loves this vast wild place should be concerned about what is going on in Florida. So please don’t turn off the podcast after we get done talking about tarpon fishing.

In the Fly Box, we range from spring high water issues to tippet knots, line-to-leader connections, and magnetized fly hooks. And, of course, imitating freshwater clams for carp fishing. Would not be a proper podcast with a clam-eating carp question.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Orvis Fly Fishing Guide podcast with Tom Rosenbauer,
0:07.0	bringing you tips, tricks and techniques to help you get the most of your time on the water. Here's your host, acclaimed fly fishing
0:15.3	author and lifelong fly fishing enthusiast Tom Rosenberg.
0:19.3	Hi and welcome to the Orvus Fly Fishing Guide Podcast. This podcast is being
0:27.2	recorded on March 7th 2016 and before we get started, a couple things.
0:36.7	One is that I could use more phone calls.
0:39.4	I had trouble finding some phone calls that I could answer here on the podcast and it's
0:45.2	always nice to mix up the emails with calls so we can actually hear your voice.
0:49.6	So don't be shy about giving me a call.
0:53.0	And then second, you may probably already know about this,
0:57.0	but for the month of March 2016,
1:00.0	we have a giant fly sale going on which means every fly in the Orvis lineup is 20% off and
1:10.3	that's a huge savings if you buy your own flies if you don't tie them or if you
1:15.4	only tie some of your flies so this is a good time to stock up on flies at a
1:20.3	really good price and check out that giant fly sale.
1:23.4	All right, on to the podcast.
1:27.0	And let's start with an email.
1:29.7	The first one is from Jeff.
1:32.3	And they don't know where Jeff is from. This is probably a
1:35.4	silly question. I've noticed an increase in magnetic fly-time tools
1:39.2	accessories and containers and also fly boxes and hookbacks. So much so that some of my finish flies
1:46.9	have become magnetized and cling to the vice. Well this is convenient is
