In this week’s podcast I interview my good friend and fishing buddy Aaron Adams on tailing redfish. As a marine scientist, director of Bonefish Tarpon Trust, and a great all-around saltwater fly fisherman he gives some great tips on finding tailing (or otherwise) redfish and how to select a fly and present it to them. On this week’s Fly Box we concentrate more on freshwater fly fishing, and cover such topics as cracked fly lines, night fishing for trout, circle hooks for streamers, and pigtails above knots on light tippets. Then I try, unsuccessfully, to resolve a dispute between two brothers.

0:00.0 | Hi Mr. Rosenbauer, this is Phil Lazar from Dallas, Texas, and I had a question about night fishing. |
0:06.4 | I know that you have touched on it in the past, but I am somebody who needs incredible detail when I need to know about something. |
0:17.0 | A flaw maybe, but I've always heard that the biggest fish come out at night, you know, they hit fly like, you know, like a rocket ship. |
0:26.0 | But I've always shied away from night fishing because I'm not really sure about light management. |
0:32.0 | I know that you can go out and have pretty good visibility on |
0:35.8 | nights with a full moon, but on nights that don't have a full moon, you know, can you use a |
0:42.0 | headlight and when you do use like a headlight or a headlamp, |
0:45.0 | you need to be careful about where you shine the beam. Is it something that's kind of spook of fish? |
0:50.0 | You know, how else really can you really be safe on the river? I know you've touched on this in the past, but I can't find one where you really talk about the light itself. |
1:04.0 | They're just about sort of some of the mechanics of night fishing. |
1:08.0 | But if you can give an answer, I'd really appreciate it. |
1:11.6 | Thanks for all you do. |
1:12.6 | I love the podcast. |
1:13.6 | Love listening to them on my way to and from work. |
1:16.6 | Thanks a lot and have a great day. |

1:30.5 | Here's your host, acclaimed fly fishing author and lifelong fly fishing enthusiast Tom Rosenbauer. |
1:37.0 | Hi and welcome to the Orvis Fly Fishing Guide Podcast. This podcast is being recorded on August 29, 2014. |
1:47.0 | So Phil, you're right, night fishing can be, I don't know, I wouldn't call it dangerous, but a little |
1:58.3 | spooky and you have to take some precautions. First of all, you should always reconnoiter any pool or area that you're going to fish at night during the day and find out where the deep spots are and where the shallow spots are and |
2:14.8 | surprisingly I assume you're fishing for trout here you're gonna find more |
