Summary

Our friend and Orvis-endorsed guide Josh Nugent of Out Fly Fishing Outfitters in Calgary was in town last week, and I grabbed him to do a podcast. Josh did one a few years ago with me entitled “The Seven Deadly Sins of Sight Fishing” and it was really popular, so we decided to do “The Seven Deadly Sins of Streamer Fishing”. If you think streamer fishing is just chucking a big piece of meat out there and stripping back, Josh has some revelations for you. Revelations based on thousands of hours on the water. In the Fly Box this week, lots of interesting questions and suggestions: What do you see as the biggest revolutions in fly fishing technology and the biggest flops? Is there a difference between dry fly and nymph dubbing? If trout are sensitive to cold temperatures why do we catch them ice fishing? Why are fly rods always made in 6-inch increments? How do I substitute hooks when a tier on YouTube mentions a specific model? If I am fishing a tandem streamer in a place where only single hooks are allowed, which one do I cut off? Why do trout jump out of the water? Is a digital thermometer better for fishing than an analog design? Which hackles should I buy for dry flies or wet flies? Which YouTube Channel do you recommend for reliable fly patterns? Do boots without felt really decrease the possibility of spreading invasive species? How do I get the perfect consistency with head cement? Do I need a stripping basket when using my switch rod? Why did you make H3 rods with that ugly white label? A great suggestion from a listener on buying lunch for your guide (this is often required when fishing in salt water) What 10-20 flies should I tie next after going through all the flies in the kit?

0:00.0	Today on the Orvis Fly Fishing Guide Podcast.
0:05.0	When the water is really clear, if those fish are coming up to hit it out of just of a territorial nature, that kind of response strike, they can see it from a lot farther away when the water is clear
0:16.2	So you can get away with more and you can get a better mend for sure on that floating line and longer leader than you can with the sink tip but if we've got that fly is going to
0:25.0	and longer liter than you can with the sink tip. But if we've got high flows and
0:25.7	we've got dirty water, that fly is going to stay too close to the surface that
0:29.7	those fish are never actually going to see it or know it's there.
0:32.3	Hi and welcome to the Orvis fish are never actually going to see it or know it's there.

1:41.2	And speaking of phone messages, if you're going to leave a phone message and you're going to use your cell phone, make sure you have good service because there's a number of calls that I had in the past week that I just
1:54.2	couldn't either couldn't understand everything or it was such poor quality that I
1:59.0	didn't want to play the calls on the other point
2:07.0	other point yourself from good service or call from a landline and you're more likely to
2:07.2	have your question read on the air the other point is that I am I am not a travel agent, nor am I a seasoned world traveler.
