Summary

Today we do a deep dive on the newest trend in fly-fishing for koi, that elusive fish that many people think cannot be caught on a fly rod. Nothing could be further from the truth; although these fish are challenging targets on a fly rod, they are available in many places close to home. The most exciting part of this fishery is that you can fish for them anywhere you want. In the Fly Box this week I have an unusually interesting bunch of questions, including: · What is the single greatest trout stream in the United States? · What is the impact of the legalization of marijuana on fly fishing so far? · When you take a float trip in a drift boat or raft, how do you get back to your car? · What is that big pocket in the back of a fishing vest used for? · How to do the triple haul · If I only have 30 minutes to fish on a business trip, is it better to use a 9-weight or 12-weight when targeting permit? · Why don’t you teach shadow casting in your schools? · Can I make a fly out of food? · What are the best organic fishing spots in New England? · If I’ve got a great fishing spot on a crowded river and nature calls, what is the best way to take care of things and not lose my spot?

0:06.0	today on the, shh quiet, I'm recording in here.
0:09.8	Today, hold on, now you got me all whacked up. I'm a warvous fly fishing guide.
0:17.0	Today on the Orvus fly fishing guide podcast.
0:21.2	I, I ask the concier, could I fish for these fish? And he said no. And that
0:30.0	moment really embedded in me the desire to catch these fish coy.
0:37.0	Hi and welcome to the Orvis Fly Fishing Guide podcast.
0:43.4	That was a little clip from an interview
0:45.6	that we're going to listen to later in the show.
0:48.5	And it's about a pretty exciting fishery that is just developing.
0:54.8	I think it's going to be a new fad or a new horizon in fly fishing. And so I'm excited to get to that interview but before we do
1:07.8	let's go into the flybox. Hey Tom, this is Fred and Martha from Coxsaki, New York.
1:16.9	We're new to fly fishing and we have a couple of questions as we plan our trip to Montana. Number one, we've been thinking about doing a flow trip somewhere in Montana and we're just wondering when you go with a guide and you get into the water and you float down a river
1:39.6	How do you get back to the vehicle that you put where you put the boat in?
1:46.3	I would seem both Martha and I seem it would you know do you just go in a circle or does a guide roll back up to get to that
1:55.1	same spot you put in and also Martha's an avid avid nature lover and we hear there are lots of animals in Montana and would like to know and we've heard
2:08.9	different variations and stories about, at what elevation do mule deer in, well let's just say Montana
2:19.1	or Wyoming, maybe even Idaho, but what elevation do mule deer turn into elk?
2:26.0	Thanks Tom and I really look forward to getting an answer on your next podcast.
2:31.0	So, um, Brett, I'm afraid that I can't authoritatively answer your second question about Mil Deer and Elk. We know that this happens and we don't know exactly in what stage of their life cycle or at what altitude it happens. what I'm not a wildlife biologist so I would I would hesitate to give you any kind of
3:04.8	answer on that but I can't answer your first question. The first thing you
3:10.1	want to do before you get into a drift boat with a guide is look for one or two things.
