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.

If you've listened to my two-part series on making sense of stillwater flylines,

you'll perhaps understand my interest in this subject.

For flyfishers first venturing into the world of stillwater fly fishing,

understanding stillwater flylines, leaders, and tippets can be daunting and confusing.

When fly-fishing lakes, I believe having a good understanding of the flyline, leader, and tippet options available to you is key to

your success. It's important that you choose the right tool for the job, if you will. I'm looking

forward to this episode as Chris Walker from Rio Products

joins me to discuss fly lines, leaders, and tippets in detail. We'll be focusing on the

requirements that still waters often demand. It is an interesting episode full of valuable

information to help you better understand the specific line, leader, and tippet requirements

for fly fishing lakes. I hope you enjoy this topic as much as I do. Well, good morning, Chris.

Thanks for joining me. Morning, Phil. Thanks for having me on. We're going to talk about one of my

favorite things. Probably something you're probably sick of hearing me talk about this or ask questions of our fly lines but first let's why don't you tell

everybody my listeners a little bit about yourself you roll with Rio how long you've been there

and any other cool fascinating facts you can provide sure thing yeah so my name's Chris Walker
