Summary

I get frequent requests for suggestions on what fly-fishing literature to read during these long winter nights when you want to enjoy fly fishing but don’t want to snuggle up to something lighter. I invited David Van Wie (interview starts at 45:10), author of the recently published book Storied Waters—subtitled “35 Fabled Fly Fishing Destinations and the Writers and Artists Who Made The Famous”—to share with me his favorite writers and books. It is pretty much an eastern-oriented tour of these books, but don’t worry. I have an idea for someone to do a similar podcast on western North America writers on a future podcast so stay tuned.

In the Fly Box this week, we have some great questions and suggestions from listeners—and one who slapped my hands:

A listener who took me to task for encouraging another listener to try to introduce mayflies from one watershed into another. Shame on me. I didn’t think about also transferring other unwanted critters and I should have known better
Can I use the same nymphs under an indicator that I use when Euro nymphing and vice versa?
A suggestion from a listener about the great classes available at Orvis stores
What are the pros and cons of indicator vs. non-indicator nymphing?
What is your opinion on click-and-pawl fly reels?
Does anyone rent waders? I don’t want to pack them into my luggage.
What gear do you carry when saltwater fly fishing that you would not carry on a trout stream?
Can I attach droppers to a tippet ring?
Why can’t I catch stocked trout when conventional anglers are yanking them in on Power Bait?
I had a trout take my plastic strike indicator. Does this ever happen to you?
Does perfection matter when tying flies? I have trouble tying a size 20 Purple Prince.
Do midges migrate to Indiana during the winter?
Why can’t I catch stocked trout on surface flies?

0:00.0	And the Hi and welcome to the Orvis Fly Fishing Podcast. This is your host Tom Rosenberg and
0:22.4	you'll notice I didn't say welcome to the
0:25.8	Orvis Fly Fishing Guide Podcast. We're changing the name of the podcast.
0:30.4	Initially way back over 10 years ago when we started this
0:36.7	this podcast we named the podcast after my most popular book the Orvis Fly Fishing Guide which is a basic how to
0:45.1	fly fishing guide and because the pod nobody knew about the podcast we
0:49.8	associated with the book but people think that this is just a podcast for guides, and
0:55.6	it's certainly not a podcast just for guides. It's a podcast for anyone who
1:00.3	wants to learn more about fly fishing or share information about fly fishing.
1:05.0	So we're changing the name and we're going to be making a few other little changes
1:10.7	over the next year or so but that's one not a big change but a little easier to say
1:16.6	just a few announcements before we get started with the flybox one is that I'm going to be speaking at a couple of events or
1:27.8	demonstrating at a couple of events in the next couple months. One is at Seewe or the Southeast Wildlife Exposition
1:36.0	in Charleston, February 15th and 16th.
1:41.0	And then I am also going to the Trout Fest in the Austin San Antonio area of
1:48.2	Texas February 21st through 23rd and if you're a podcast listener and you are going to either
1:58.6	those events I'd love to love to meet you and talk to you and also we're going to be trying to do a live
2:06.3	podcast at the fly fishing show in Edison New Jersey Saturday, January 25th at 2 PM at the Orvis Booth.
2:17.2	So if you want to ask a question live on the podcast, we're not going to broadcast it it live but we are going to record it live
2:25.1	uh... stop by the orvis booth on saturday january twenty-fifth a little bit
2:30.0	before two and uh... we'll give you some time to ask some questions on the air. So that
2:37.2	should be fun. Another thing I'd like to do is just to thank all of you for listening to the
