Summary

In this week’s podcast, I was honored to have Felipe Rodriguez in the studio. Felipe is the head guide for the Orvis trips to Cuba, and is one of the most highly respected guides in Cuba, both for his knowledge of the fishery and for his education efforts with the younger generation of Cuban guides. He had never seen snow before, and arrived in Vermont and New York City in the middle of our biggest snowstorm of the winter. It was an exciting time for us and for Felipe.

Also this week, in the Fly Box, we talk more about Mop Flies, basic saltwater patterns, wrist braces for fly fishers with tendonitis, UV and fluorescent materials, and advice for the younger generation of fly fishers.

0:15.3	author and lifelong fly fishing enthusiast Tom Rosenberg.
0:20.8	Hi and welcome to the Orvis Fly Fishing Guide podcast this podcast is being recorded on
0:26.7	April 11th 2017 and a little bit later on in the show, we are going to have an interview with

1:17.2	from Ethan from Long Island.
1:20.3	Hi Tom, my name is Ethan. I'm calling from Long Island, New York. My question for
1:25.1	Fly Box is I recently started getting into fly tying in the last couple of months
1:30.0	and I started off with an Orvis fly tying kit that came with a whole ton of
1:36.6	different random materials for a whole bunch of different types of flies.
1:39.6	But as I progressed through those I realized I just keep needing to buy more and more material in the same type of material in more and more sizes and more colors and more hooks and more thread and it's just getting a little
1:55.3	overwhelming to try to play catch-up with all the types of flies I want to tie
1:59.2	and all the materials that I need to purchase.
2:02.5	I was wondering if there is a suggestion
2:04.9	either that you have or that Orbis has
2:07.3	on, I guess, a basic starter
2:11.0	super kit. So you don't have to keep going over to the shop every time you need
