Summary

This week I interview Adam McNamara of Orvis Portland in one of our continuing series of carp podcasts. As usual, I learned some hot new tricks (like how to imitate a clam with a fly!) and I am sure you will as well. Adam is the founder and organizer of Carpocalypse, one of the best carp events in the US. Also, to begin we talk lots of trout for those of you who turn down your noses at carp: how to tell the number of a fly line if it isn’t labeled, adding tippets to braided leaders, what to do about refusals to dry flies, using wading boots without waders, tips on grass carp (oops), and what I think about people “spot burning” unknown fishing spots on the internet—if you care what I think.

0:34.0	A lot of these lines are labeled on the spools with the tags that often come
0:39.7	with new flylines, but some of the tags have either come off or are faded beyond recognition.
0:46.0	My question is, is there a way to figure out the weight and type of flyline, and all you have to go off
0:50.6	as a fly line itself? Based on his rod collection, the lines could be anywhere
0:56.0	free to a sixth weight, and I know you fish with all different types of lines from floating
1:00.2	to intermediate to fast sinking lines and that included wait forward and
1:04.2	uniform sink. So any advice you can give on this topic would be great and thank you
