Summary

This week’s podcast is called “Secrets of Lake Erie Steelhead Tributaries” and my guest expert is Alberto Rey, a longtime Orvis-Endorsed Guide and is also Distinguished Professor for Research and Creative Activity in the State University of New York system. He is a fine artist who specializes in Cuban-influenced scenes and such esoteric subjects as steelhead and extinct birds. Alberto also does some fine work with a youth fly-fishing program. Despite all his interests and activities days on the river with him are surrounded by an aura of calm and he’s a wonderful person to share a day with on the river. In the podcast he gives us tips on seasons, fly patterns, techniques, and tackle needed to chase steelhead in the eastern portion of Steelhead Alley—although steelhead anglers will learn tips they can use on smaller rivers anywhere steelhead are found. In the Fly Box this week we tackle the usual array of both advanced and basic questions including: What retrieve should I use when saltwater fly fishing? I tried it in Greece and didn’t catch anything. Can I use Poly Leaders for both steelhead in Oregon and saltwater species in California on my single-handed rod? A great tip from a listener on how to use bobber stoppers to make an adjustable dry/dropper rig. If I want to extend the butt on my leader, how do I know what size to use? How do I modify my hook-setting technique on downstream dry flies? Why do some brook trout carry parr marks throughout their life? What do you recommend for targeting perch in France? How do you tell a male from a female brown trout?

0:00.0	Hi and welcome to the Orvis Fly Fishing Guide Podcast. This is your host Tom
0:11.8	Rosenberg. This podcast is being recorded on September
0:17.1	17th, 2019. A little bit later in the show we've got Alberto Ray of Fridonian New York talking
0:26.4	about the secrets of the Lake Erie tributaries and steelhead fishing in the fall and spring.
0:34.1	So it's timely, it's just about getting steelhead season
0:37.8	in the Great Lakes Trips.
0:39.5	And Albera's an old friend and talented artist and all around super nice guy and he gives us some very, very perceptive tips on fishing those Lake Erie trips.
0:57.8	But before that, we'll do some questions for the flybox.
1:04.0	You can send your questions into the flybox by sending me an email to podcast at Orvus.com. You can ask a question in by typing it out in an email
1:19.8	or you can attach a voice file or if you really want to go old-fashioned you can send a voice message at 802-360 8800. Just be careful that you're not driving in a car and that you have good cell
1:35.8	service when you ask a question over the phone because if sound quality isn't
1:42.2	that good and we can't understand you, I'm not going to play your question.
1:45.6	So make sure you do that.
1:48.8	The couple of housekeeping notes. I do have an Instagram account and I try to post regularly and I try to
1:57.0	include tips in my post so you can follow me at Rosenbauer T and also also, you know, if you have some real basic questions about fly fishing and sometimes I get some really general basic questions that it's difficult to answer in a short flybox answer.
2:17.4	We've got the Orvis Learning Center, which can be found at how to flyfish dot oevis dot com or you can find the all the
2:29.0	chapters from the orvis learning center on Amazon Prime. Just search Orvis in your Amazon Prime video and
2:37.2	you can find all the shows on there. We're presently working on a second season and filming that which is why you've had a few repeat
2:47.0	podcast recently. I try to get as many of these done as I can while I'm here in town and then when I'm on the road filming I try to try to dole them out once I record
2:58.4	him but sometimes we run on a podcast and I like to do one once a repeat so apologies for that but do the best I can to get
3:09.3	new podcasts out to you every week.
3:15.8	All right.
