Welcome to the Littoral Zone podcast. I'm your host, Felroli. The Littoral Zone, or Shoal Area of the Lake,

is a place where the majority of the action takes place. My podcast is intended to do the same.

Put you where the action is to help you improve your stillwater fly fishing. On each broadcast, I, along with guests from all over the world, will be providing you

with information, tips and tricks, flies, presentation techniques, along with different

lakes or regions to explore.

I hope you enjoy today's podcast.

Please feel free to email me with your Stillwater-related fly fishing questions and comments.

I do my best to answer as many as we can prior to each episode, just before the main content.

Thanks for listening.

I hope you enjoy today's show.

When I first approached Jerry McBride to discuss the origins of balanced flies and how to use them,

I thought it just might end up being an extended episode.

However, it soon became apparent that to properly discuss all aspects of balanced flies, it would take two episodes.

In part one of this two-part series, Jerry and I discussed all aspects of

tying balance flies. In today's episode, we focus on Jerry's specific presentation strategies

for fishing as balance flies, along with his line and leader setups. If you miss part one of

this series, I recommend listening to it. I'll include links to that episode in the show notes.

For those who haven't listened to Part 1, Jerry McBride is one of the key designers behind the

balanced fly concept. Balance flies have significantly impacted my stillwater fly selection,

as well as that of many other stillwater flyfishers. You can consider an assortment of balanced

flies to be a key component of any stillwater fly box. Jerry resides in Spokane, Washington,

and is an active Inland Empire Flyfishing Club member. Well, Jerry, it's great to have you back.
